Cases Our Employment and
Labor Law Attorneys Can Handle
California’s Labor Code protects employees who report illegal activity from retaliation. You can report unlawful conduct without fear of being fired.
Wrongful termination happens when you are fired for an illegal reason or in violation of public policy. Employees generally can file a wrongful termination claim within two years.
We review and negotiate severance agreements so you understand what you are signing and what you may be giving up.
Workplace discrimination is prohibited under California law and Title VII, including discrimination based on race, gender, and age. These cases can involve intentional or unintentional conduct, and FEHA claims are generally filed within three years.

We handle wage and hour claims involving unpaid wages, minimum wage, overtime, wage theft, and misclassification of independent contractors. Many wage claims must be filed within three years, and some can extend to four, and the process can move forward even after you leave a job. California sets a minimum wage that is higher than the federal minimum and rises each year, with higher local rates in places like Los Angeles, along with overtime for hours worked beyond eight in a day or 40 in a week.
Retaliation is illegal when it follows your filing a claim, raising concerns about your rights, or reporting illegal behavior. You may also be able to seek help through a government agency.
Workplace harassment can include derogatory or humiliating words or actions, including sexual harassment. California law and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act protect workers based on protected characteristics, and FEHA harassment complaints are generally filed with the California Civil Rights Department, typically within three years.

Why an Employment Law Attorney Makes a Difference
Employment law is complex, and the process moves faster than most people expect. An employment law attorney can explain your rights, weigh the strengths and weaknesses of your case, and handle the legal process so you do not have to face your employer alone. We assist clients across a wide range of employment law matters, from wrongful termination and retaliation claims to wage and hour violations, harassment, and discrimination. Both California law and federal employment laws protect employees, and knowing how they work together often shapes the strategy in employment law cases.
