What Is Employment Law?

Employment law governs the relationship between employers and employees, from hiring through termination. Federal and state statutes—including the Civil Rights Act, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and California’s wage and overtime laws—protect workers from discrimination, harassment, retaliation and wage theft. Employers must also provide notice before mass layoffs under the WARN Act, accommodate disabilities and pregnancy, and engage in goodfaith interactive processes.

Our practice is built on a simple promise: we represent employees—never employers. If you think your workplace rights have been violated, let us guide you through the legal process.

Our Employment Law Services

Workplace Discrimination

Employers may not base employment decisions on protected characteristics. We handle discrimination claims involving race, national origin, color, sex/gender (including pregnancy and gender identity), sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, marital status, medical condition and military status. Discrimination can manifest as biased hiring practices, unequal pay, denial of promotions, unfair discipline or termination.

If you believe you’ve been discriminated against at work, contact us today to protect your rights.

Sexual Harassment & Hostile Work Environment

Sexual harassment comes in two forms: quid pro quo, where job benefits are conditioned on submission to sexual advances, and hostile work environment, where unwanted comments or conduct create an abusive atmosphere. We also handle harassment based on gender identity, sexual orientation, race, religion, disability and other protected traits.

No one should endure a hostile workplace. Call (424) 2252224 to speak privately with a lawyer.

Wage & Hour Violations

We represent workers in cases involving unpaid wages, unpaid overtime, meal and rest break violations, “offtheclock” work, misclassification as independent contractors, unpaid commissions and bonuses, tip pooling abuses and equal pay violations. Our attorneys also prosecute class and collective actions on behalf of groups of employees.

If your employer owes you wages or overtime, reach out now. Strict deadlines may apply.

Family & Medical Leave, Pregnancy and Disability Accommodation

Eligible employees may take jobprotected leave to care for their own or a family member’s serious health condition or to welcome a new child. Under the ADA, FEHA and Pregnancy Disability Leave law, employers must provide reasonable accommodations and engage in a goodfaith interactive process. We handle cases involving denied leave, retaliation for taking leave, and failure to accommodate disabilities.

Wrongful Termination & Constructive Discharge

Although employment is generally “at will,” employers cannot terminate employees for illegal reasons—such as discrimination, requesting leave, reporting wrongdoing, or refusing to break the law. Constructive discharge occurs when a hostile or intolerable work environment effectively forces an employee to resign. We pursue reinstatement, back pay, and damages, and negotiate severance when appropriate.

Retaliation & Whistleblower Protection

Reporting discrimination, harassment, safety violations or fraud is protected under various laws. Retaliation—demotion, discipline, schedule changes or firing—against whistleblowers is illegal. We represent clients in whistleblower actions, including qui tam lawsuits seeking to recover government funds stolen through fraud.

If you faced retaliation for doing the right thing, speak with our attorneys.

Equal Pay & Pay Equity

Our firm fights for employees who discover they are paid less than coworkers of a different gender, race or ethnicity for substantially similar work. California’s Equal Pay Act prohibits wage disparities unless the employer can show a legitimate justification unrelated to gender or race.

Suspect unequal pay? Contact us for a confidential case review.

Employment Contracts, Severance & Executive Representation

We review, negotiate and litigate employment agreements, noncompete and nonsolicitation clauses, confidentiality agreements and severance packages. We also advise executives and professionals on contract terms and enforce agreements when employers fail to honor them

Independent Contractor Misclassification

Misclassification denies workers overtime, minimum wage, and benefits. Under California’s ABC test, many “gig” and freelance workers may actually qualify as employees. We represent misclassified workers seeking unpaid wages and benefits.

WARN Act & Mass Layoffs

Employers must provide notice before mass layoffs or plant closures. If your employer failed to give proper notice, you may be entitled to back pay and benefits.

Recent Results & Client Stories

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a consultation cost?

Our initial consultation is free. We handle employment cases on a contingency basis—you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.

How do I prove discrimination or harassment?

Keep a record of incidents (dates, times, witnesses, and what was said or done). Save emails, texts, performance reviews and other documents. Our attorneys can help you gather evidence and file charges with the appropriate agencies.

What should I do if I’m still employed?

Continue to document incidents, report them to HR if possible, and contact us before resigning. Leaving a job without legal advice can affect your case.

Is there a deadline to file?

Yes. Different claims have different statutes of limitations—some as short as six months. Contact us immediately to avoid missing a deadline.
