Types of Employment Law Cases We Take On
California employees have some of the strongest workplace protections in the country, but employers do not always follow the law. If your employer has violated your rights, we can help you understand your legal options and pursue the compensation or other remedies you may be entitled to.
Wage and Hour Violations
You deserve to be paid for every hour you work. We represent employees in wage and hour claims involving unpaid wages, unpaid overtime, missed meal and rest breaks, minimum wage violations, off-the-clock work, and employee misclassification.
Wrongful Termination
California is an at-will employment state, but employers cannot fire workers for illegal reasons. If you were terminated because of discrimination, retaliation, whistleblowing, or another protected activity, our attorneys can evaluate whether you have a wrongful termination claim.
Workplace Discrimination
Federal and California laws prohibit employers from discriminating against employees based on protected characteristics such as race, religion, sex, age, disability, pregnancy, national origin, and more. We fight to hold employers accountable when unlawful discrimination affects your career.
Harassment and Retaliation
No one should have to endure a hostile work environment or fear retaliation for reporting illegal conduct. Whether you experienced sexual harassment or were punished for asserting your legal rights, our team can help you pursue justice and protect your future.
Employment Contract and Workplace Disputes
Our attorneys also assist employees with a variety of other workplace disputes, including employment contract issues, severance agreement disputes, whistleblower claims, and violations of state or federal employment laws. No matter the circumstances, we will work to protect your rights and pursue the best possible outcome.
Your Advocate From Start to Finish
When you’re dealing with an employment dispute, you deserve to focus on your career and your future, not the legal process. We can handle every stage of your claim, from investigating your employer’s conduct to gathering evidence, calculating your damages, and pursuing a favorable resolution. We will explain your rights, answer your questions, and develop a legal strategy tailored to your specific situation.
Our attorneys negotiate with employers and their insurance carriers on your behalf, working to secure a fair settlement whenever possible. If your employer refuses to resolve your claim fairly, we are prepared to take your case to court and advocate for you at trial.
Throughout your case, you’ll receive personalized attention and direct access to your attorney. Whether you were denied wages, subjected to discrimination or harassment, retaliated against, or wrongfully terminated, our team is committed to protecting your rights and helping you pursue the justice and compensation you deserve.
Holding Your Employer Financially Accountable
The compensation available in an employment law case depends on the facts of your claim and the losses you suffered. Depending on the circumstances, you may be entitled to recover:
- Unpaid wages
- Overtime pay
- Back pay
- Front pay
- Lost employee benefits
- Reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses
- Emotional distress
- Attorneys’ fees and court costs
We will carefully evaluate your case, identify all available damages, and fight to recover the maximum compensation you deserve under California law.
What Should You Do If Your Employer Violated Your Rights?
If you believe your employer violated your workplace rights, act as soon as possible. Save any emails, text messages, pay stubs, schedules, performance reviews, or other documents that may support your claim. Make notes about what happened, including dates, times, and the names of any witnesses. Avoid signing severance agreements or other legal documents without first understanding how they could affect your rights.
Most importantly, speak with an experienced employment law attorney as soon as possible. California employment claims are subject to strict deadlines, and waiting too long could affect your ability to recover compensation. We can review your situation during a free consultation, explain your legal options, and help you determine the best path forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Do I Have to File an Employment Law Claim in California?

Can My Employer Fire Me for Reporting Illegal Conduct?
California law prohibits employers from retaliating against employees for engaging in protected activities, such as reporting discrimination, harassment, wage violations, or other unlawful conduct. If you were demoted, disciplined, or terminated after speaking up, you may have a retaliation claim.
What Evidence Should I Keep for My Employment Law Case?
Keep copies of emails, text messages, pay stubs, schedules, employment contracts, performance reviews, and any written communications related to your claim. You should also document important events, including dates and the names of witnesses, as this information may help support your case.
