Types of Employment Law Cases We Can Handle
Your employment attorney in Los Angeles can assist with a wide range of cases involving misconduct in the workplace. Our team uses our extensive experience to provide personalized support designed to meet your unique needs. You can reach out to us if you believe you have a case related to:
Workplace Safety
Employers have a legal duty to ensure the workplace maintains a certain level of safety, even in potentially hazardous jobs like construction. You may have a valid legal claim if you sustain injuries due to hazards allowed to develop on the job site.
In this situation, you may even have a chance to get help from a Los Angeles workers’ compensation lawyer if you sustain injuries while working.
Wrongful Termination
California is an “at-will” employment state. Therefore, the state’s labor laws give employers the right to fire you for nearly any reason. However, employers can face legal repercussions for firing an employee for an illegal reason.
For example, you may have a wrongful termination claim if you believe that your employer fired you because you requested medical leave or because you engaged in whistleblowing.
In these situations, you can turn to an experienced employment lawyer from our team for professional legal representation. We can explain your options and discuss the steps you need to take to move forward after wrongful termination.
Discrimination
State and federal laws prohibit workplace discrimination based on several factors. We can help with claims involving:
- Religious discrimination
- Age discrimination
- Gender discrimination
- Racial discrimination
- Disability status discrimination
- Sexual orientation discrimination
These laws serve to protect employees from discrimination during the hiring process or the normal course of their jobs. Our team can hold employers accountable if they engage in any form of discrimination with job applicants or employees.
Wage and Benefit Violations
Labor lawyers can explain your legal options if you end up in a dispute involving your wages, benefits, or overtime with your employer. For example, you can turn to us for help if your employer refuses to provide you with legally mandated breaks or won’t pay for overtime work.
Workplace Harassment
We are here to assist you if you face hostile treatment in your workplace that leads to an abusive environment. Generally, workplace harassment only occurs if the mistreatment involves someone in a protected class.
For example, this form of harassment could involve religious discrimination or racial discrimination.
Our team can review your situation and determine if you have a valid claim for harassment at work. We’ll provide dedicated legal representation when you need our help.
Whistleblowing
Sometimes, employees have a legal or moral duty to report an employer’s wrongdoing. For example, you may need to report wage theft, tax fraud, or other serious issues to a regulatory agency in California.
We can also help with retaliation claims if your employer tries to punish you for making these reports. For example, your attorney could fire you or refuse to promote you in an attempt to retaliate against your legal actions.
Retaliation represents a serious legal issue, and we can explain the steps you can take to address this form of mistreatment.
Privacy at Work
You have the right to a certain amount of privacy at work. If you believe that your employer has violated your privacy, perhaps by the wrongful use of monitoring programs on digital devices, you may have a legal claim, especially if your employer violates an employment contract with this form of overreach.
We can provide more information about the legal services available in this situation when you contact us for help.
Family and Medical Leave
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides workers in the U.S. with a way to take off work if they need to care for their own health or the health of a loved one. However, your employer may try to avoid granting you these protections.
Our labor attorneys can answer any questions you have about these protections and your options if an employer tries to deny them.
Signs It’s Time to Hire an Employment Lawyer
Many employees feel unsure if the abuse they’ve experienced qualifies as “bad enough” to get professional help. You can reach out to our professional team for an assessment of your situation and to determine if your employer engaged in illegal or wrongful activities.
We carefully listen to you and will honestly determine if you have a valid claim. We recommend that you reach out to our professional team for assistance if:
- Your employer fires or demotes you after you report misconduct or take protected leave
- Your paycheck has consistent issues
- Your employer denies you rest and meal breaks
- Your employer fails to take action after you report harassment
- Your employer isolates or targets you after you request an accommodation or file a complaint
- Your employer pressures you to resign instead of firing you
We can give you more information about your options after we review the specifics of your situation.

How Your Attorney Can Assist
Our legal team provides dedicated and personalized support if you need help with wage violations, workplace retaliation, or other wrongful activity from your employer. Our team focuses on:
Assessing Your Situation
We need to quickly review what happened so we can identify any illegal actions taken by your employer. For example, we may need to see if your employer violated any retaliation laws to determine if you have a valid claim.
The complexities of employment laws mean we need to carefully review all the facts before we can take further steps to assist you with employment issues.
Gathering Evidence
Our firm needs to collect evidence and establish proof of wrongdoing to help with your claim. For example, we may need witness statements to establish that you experienced employment discrimination.
We may also need to review past employee evaluations and any other documents filed by your employer involving your career or job performance. We may have a chance to use this information when building your claim.
Reviewing Your Losses
We have to review any losses you experience due to discriminatory actions or other wrongful behavior. For example, your employer could owe you a significant amount of money for unpaid overtime wages.
Your employment lawyer in Los Angeles needs to calculate the full value of these losses when handling your claim.
Resolving Your Claim
We can focus on resolving your legal claim if your employer fails to follow all the laws surrounding employment in California. In some cases, we can wrap up these claims through negotiations with employers.
In other cases, you may qualify for a lawsuit. We need to go over the facts before we can explain the options available in your situation.
