How Can Our Ventura Employment Law Attorneys Help You?
Our legal team understands how complex and intimidating employment law can be, so we take care of all legal matters for our clients, including:
- Investigating the conditions at your workplace
- Handling all communications with your employer and their representatives
- Negotiating for the best possible outcome
- Taking your employer to court, if necessary
Along the way, we make sure to keep our clients updated about what we are doing and what is happening in their case. When you call or email with a concern, we get back to you as soon as possible. You will have direct contact with your lawyer throughout your case.
At KJT Law Group, our Ventura employment law attorneys recognize that no two cases are the same, and each case requires personalized attention. That is why we limit the number of cases we take and provide every single client with the care they deserve.
What Damages Can Our Employment Law Lawyers in Ventura Pursue?
The damages you qualify for depend on what you lost. In many cases, we help workers recover money for:
- Back pay, or any money you were owed but not paid
- Front pay, or any money you likely would have earned in the future
- Job benefits, such as healthcare plans
- Mental anguish, or the distress caused by the employer’s failure to follow the law or provide a safe work environment
Call KJT Law Group today to find out what kinds of damages you are eligible for and what the best way of pursuing those damages might be. Whether you lost your job, endured a hostile work environment, or were not paid fairly for the work you performed, we want to see justice done for you and your family.
What Kinds of Employment Law Cases Do We Take?
Many kinds of cases fall under employment law. Our Ventura lawyers encourage you to reach out to us with questions if you think you might have a case. Some common case types we accept include:
Wage & Hour Disputes
You are entitled to the wages you agreed to upon hiring (no less than $16.50 an hour, as of 2025), as well as overtime pay, meal and rest breaks, and applicable job benefits.
In one past case, the Ventura employment law attorneys at KJT Law Group recovered $6.9 million for a group of employees who were owed regular wages, overtime, and breaks.
Wrongful Termination
If you were fired because of your race, religion, gender, sexuality, disability, participation in protected activities (e.g., union activities or filing a workers’ compensation claim), or another protected status, then you were fired illegally.
You could receive money for all of your lost wages and other losses. For example, our law firm was able to recover $200,000 for a sales representative who was harassed and then wrongfully terminated.
Sexual Harassment in the Workplace
If your boss, a coworker, or someone else in the workplace made unwanted advances or inappropriate remarks, you may have a case. In two cases involving sexual harassment by supervisors, our firm recovered $550,000 and $460,000 for our clients.

Frequently Asked Questions About Employment Law
How Much Does an Employment Law Attorney Cost?
KJT Law Group charges a contingency fee, which means you pay nothing up front. Instead, we accept a percentage of your final settlement or award, which you only have to pay once you get your money. In some cases, we factor in legal costs when deciding how much compensation to ask for.
Can an Employment Law Lawyer Help Me Sue My Employer?
If necessary, yes, we can file a lawsuit against your employer if they violated the law. Even if we do file suit, your case will not necessarily go to trial, as many employers prefer to settle out of court.
In cases that do go to trial, our Ventura lawyers do all of the talking in the courtroom. You do not have to worry about presenting your case or submitting evidence, and you will only have to testify if we both agree that is the right thing to do.
How Much Is My Employment Law Case Worth?
We help clients answer this question by collecting as much evidence as possible concerning what happened and how much they lost. For example, we can calculate how much you are owed in backpay or unpaid overtime, any diagnosed medical conditions brought on by unnecessary work stress, and what effect your situation might have on your future earning capacity.
Know that your employer might try to offer you a settlement as soon as they hear about your legal action. Do not assume that this offer reflects all of your losses. Let KJT Law Group investigate before you accept or sign a settlement offer.
