+ Wrongful Termination Fired for an illegal reason, like discrimination, retaliation, or whistleblowing.
Wrongful Termination
California is an at-will state, but that does not give an employer the right to fire you for an illegal reason. If you were let go because of your race, gender, age, or disability, or because you reported wrongdoing or exercised a legal right, that termination may be unlawful. We help employees hold employers accountable and recover lost wages, benefits, and more.
Wrongful termination cases we handle
Termination based on discrimination Retaliation for reporting misconduct Firing after a protected complaint Whistleblower terminations Constructive discharge (forced to quit) + Workplace Discrimination Unfair treatment based on a protected characteristic like race, sex, age, or religion.
Workplace Discrimination
California law protects employees from discrimination based on race, gender, age, religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, and other protected characteristics. Discrimination can show up in hiring, pay, promotions, discipline, and termination. We help employees who have been treated unfairly stand up to their employer and recover what they are owed.
Discrimination cases we handle
Race and national origin discrimination Gender and sexual orientation discrimination Age discrimination Religious discrimination Discrimination in pay and promotions + Sexual Harassment Unwelcome sexual conduct, advances, or a hostile environment at work.
Sexual Harassment
No one should have to endure sexual harassment to keep their job. Whether it is unwanted advances, inappropriate comments, or a hostile environment created by a supervisor or coworker, California law gives you the right to a workplace free of harassment. We handle these cases with discretion and determination, and we hold employers accountable when they allow harassment to continue.
Sexual harassment cases we handle
Quid pro quo harassment Hostile work environment Harassment by supervisors or coworkers Retaliation for reporting harassment Employer failure to act + Workplace Retaliation Punishment for reporting harassment, discrimination, or unsafe conditions.
Workplace Retaliation
It is illegal for an employer to punish you for asserting your rights. If you were demoted, disciplined, cut in hours, or fired after reporting discrimination, harassment, safety concerns, or wage violations, that is retaliation. We help employees prove the connection between their protected activity and the employer's actions, and we fight for the compensation they deserve.
Retaliation cases we handle
Retaliation after a complaint Demotion or reduced hours Retaliation for reporting safety issues Punishment for taking protected leave Retaliatory termination + Unpaid Wages & Overtime Employers who fail to pay wages, overtime, or provide required breaks.
Unpaid Wages & Overtime
California has some of the strongest wage protections in the country, and employers still routinely violate them. If you have not been paid for all your hours, been denied overtime, forced to work through breaks, or misclassified to avoid overtime, you may be owed significant back pay and penalties. We help workers recover the wages their employer tried to keep.
Wage and hour cases we handle
Unpaid wages and overtime Missed meal and rest breaks Off-the-clock work Employee misclassification Withheld final paychecks + Hostile Work Environment A workplace made abusive by harassment or discrimination you can't escape.
Hostile Work Environment
A hostile work environment is more than a difficult boss. When harassment or discrimination becomes so severe or pervasive that it changes the conditions of your job, the law provides a remedy. We help employees document what they are experiencing and hold employers responsible for allowing an abusive environment to persist.
Hostile environment cases we handle
Severe or pervasive harassment Discriminatory conduct and slurs Intimidation and threats Employer inaction after complaints Environments that force employees out + Whistleblower Retaliation Retaliation for reporting illegal or unethical conduct at work.
Whistleblower Retaliation
Employees who report illegal activity, fraud, safety violations, or other wrongdoing are protected under California law. When an employer retaliates by firing, demoting, or punishing a whistleblower, they can be held liable. We protect workers who did the right thing and fight back against employers who tried to silence them.
Whistleblower cases we handle
Reporting fraud or illegal activity Reporting safety or health violations Retaliation after a report Protected disclosures to agencies Whistleblower terminations + Disability Discrimination Failure to accommodate or unfair treatment because of a disability.
Disability Discrimination
California employers must reasonably accommodate employees with disabilities and cannot treat them unfairly because of a medical condition. When an employer refuses to accommodate, disciplines, or fires an employee because of a disability, that is unlawful. We help workers enforce their right to a fair workplace and reasonable accommodations.
Disability cases we handle
Failure to accommodate a disability Termination due to a medical condition Denial of reasonable accommodations Discrimination during hiring Retaliation for requesting accommodations + Family & Medical Leave Denial or retaliation over protected medical or family leave.
Family & Medical Leave
California and federal law give many employees the right to take protected leave for their own serious health condition, to care for a family member, or to bond with a new child. When an employer denies that leave, interferes with it, or retaliates against you for taking it, we help you enforce your rights and recover for the harm caused.
Leave cases we handle
Denied family or medical leave Retaliation for taking leave Failure to reinstate after leave Pregnancy and bonding leave Interference with protected leave
