Employment Law Attorney

Wrongful Termination

Being fired illegally can devastate your career and financial security. California’s at-will employment laws don’t protect employers who terminate employees for illegal reasons. We’ve successfully represented hundreds of clients who were wrongfully terminated for reasons including whistleblowing, filing workers’ compensation claims, taking legally protected leave, or refusing to participate in illegal activities.

Common wrongful termination scenarios:

• Retaliation for reporting safety violations or illegal conduct
• Termination for taking family or medical leave
• Firing due to workers’ compensation claims
• Dismissal for refusing to break the law

Workplace Harassment & Discrimination

No one should have to endure harassment or discrimination at work. California law provides strong protections against workplace misconduct, and we know how to use these laws to protect your rights and secure meaningful compensation.

We handle cases involving:

• Sexual harassment and hostile work environments
• Discrimination based on race, gender, age, disability, or other protected characteristics
• Retaliation for reporting harassment or discrimination
• Failure to prevent harassment and discrimination

Wage & Hour Violations

California has some of the strongest wage and hour laws in the country, yet many employers still try to shortchange their workers. We’ve recovered millions of dollars for employees who weren’t paid what they were legally owed.

Common wage violations we address:

• Unpaid overtime and double-time
• Missed meal and rest breaks
• Off-the-clock work
• Misclassification as independent contractors or exempt employees
• Unreimbursed business expenses

Workplace Retaliation

It’s illegal for employers to punish employees for exercising their legal rights. If you’ve faced negative consequences at work for filing a complaint, taking protected leave, or reporting illegal conduct, you may have a retaliation claim.

Protected activities include:

• Filing complaints about workplace violations
• Participating in investigations
• Taking family or medical leave
• Filing workers’ compensation claims
• Reporting safety hazards
