Our employment law attorneys represent clients in claims involving:
Sexual harassment
Workplace discrimination (race, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, national origin, marital status, etc.)
Wrongful termination and unfair treatment
Wage and hour violations, including overtime pay and unpaid wages
Independent contractor agreements and employment contracts
Hostile work environment complaints
We also assist with legal review of employee handbooks, employment agreements, and confidentiality agreements to ensure employers comply with state law and federal law.

Our employment attorneys don’t just represent clients in legal battles; we walk beside them through one of the most stressful periods of their lives, bringing clarity, confidence, and a strategic path forward.

What Sets Hershey Law Apart?
Our team of employment law attorneys combines strategic thinking with unwavering dedication. Here’s why clients trust our legal services:
1. Proven Track Record in Employment Law Cases
Our results speak for themselves. We have prevailed in state and federal courts and negotiated substantial settlements in a wide range of employment law cases.
2. Comprehensive Legal Counsel
We help with all aspects of employment matters, including advice on non compete clauses, training programs, and workplace policies. We also advise employers on compliance and help resolve disputes through negotiation or litigation.
3. Free Consultation to Evaluate Legal Options
Every client deserves a clear understanding of their legal options. We offer a free consultation to assess whether you have a valid claim and discuss the best path forward.
Common Legal Issues We Handle
At Hershey Law, we handle a broad spectrum of employment issues, including:
Wrongful Termination
If you’ve been wrongfully terminated for speaking up or due to a protected characteristic, we’ll help you seek justice and pursue legal action in the appropriate venue.
Wage & Hour Violations
Our firm handles claims involving minimum wage, overtime pay, unpaid wages, and failure to be paid correctly. We fight to recover what you’re owed.
Hostile Work Environment & Harassment
From sexual harassment to discriminatory conduct, we protect workers from environments that violate their dignity. These behaviors are strictly prohibited under both state and federal laws.
Employment Contract Disputes
We assist with employment contracts, independent contractor agreements, collective bargaining agreements, and more—helping resolve misunderstandings and uphold legal rights.
Personalized Legal Strategy from Start to Finish
Every employment case demands a different legal strategy. At Hershey Law, we start with a free consultation to evaluate your claim and build a legal plan tailored to your goals and risk tolerance.
Our attorneys will explain your options under the Civil Rights Act, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), and other applicable state and federal employment laws. From there, we gather documentation, correspond with your employer’s legal counsel, and—when needed—file a formal complaint with state or federal agencies like the EEOC, DFEH, or NLRB.
Whether your case is resolved through arbitration, private settlement, or court trial, we advocate tenaciously at every stage.
Our Legal Process
When you work with Hershey Law, you can expect:
Initial Consultation – Speak with an attorney about your concerns and valid claim.
Case Building – We gather evidence and documentation to support your case.
Legal Action – We handle filings with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and represent you in state and federal courts.
Resolution – Whether by negotiation or trial, we fight for results that protect your clients’ interests.
What to Expect in an Employment Lawsuit
Some clients worry that suing their employer will damage their career or become too emotionally taxing. Our job is to take that burden off your shoulders. Here’s how we help make the legal process manageable and empowering:
Confidentiality: Many of our cases settle privately. We take every precaution to protect your reputation and personal information.
No Upfront Fees: We work on contingency in most employment cases. You don’t pay unless we recover compensation for you.
Guidance at Every Step: From initial filings to discovery, mediation, and trial, we explain what’s happening and what to expect.
Post-Case Support: After a case concludes, we assist clients with job transition resources, non-disparagement review, and employment reference strategies.
Know Your Employee Rights
Employees have a right to fair pay, safe work conditions, reasonable accommodations, and freedom from discrimination and harassment. These rights are supported by:
Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
Civil Rights Act
National Labor Relations Board rulings
We ensure your rights are enforced and your voice is heard.
Your Case Isn’t Just a Number
We understand that every client’s experience is different. That’s why our attorneys invest the time to understand the full scope of your employment issue—from your company’s culture and internal dynamics to the broader legal violations that may not be immediately visible. Our goal is to craft a custom legal approach based on facts, documentation, and your desired outcome—whether that’s a financial settlement, reinstatement, or legal vindication.
Unlike firms that push quick settlements, we pursue long-term solutions that fully reflect the harm done and the value of your career. We have helped former employees recover not only compensation, but peace of mind, clarity of legal rights, and opportunities to rebuild with dignity.
Our Commitment: Results and Respect
Hershey Law is more than just a legal team—we are strategic allies in the pursuit of justice. Our lawyers respect every client’s story and fight tirelessly to transform unlawful treatment into accountability and compensation. We believe that all employees—regardless of background, position, or income level—deserve access to strong legal protection.
If you’ve been wrongfully terminated, discriminated against, harassed, or denied fair pay, you are not alone. We will listen, evaluate your legal options, and pursue justice using every available tool under state and federal law.
