80 Years of Handling Employment Law Cases
For more than 80 years, the attorneys at our law firm have represented clients with a wide range of employment law matters, including:
- Discrimination claims — Discrimination is a degrading experience. In the workplace, it is also illegal. We handle all types of discrimination claims, including discrimination based on age, race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, national origin and religion.
- Sexual harassment — This ranges from women who are exposed to explicit pictures by co-workers to supervisors who demand sexual favors in exchange for continued employment.
- Unwanted sexual advances — Unwanted sexual advances often take the form of quid pro quo (something for something) requests, such as promising someone a promotion in exchange for sex.
- Hostile work environment — Offensive sexual behavior can create hostile work environments, such as displaying sexually suggestive pictures or objects in the workplace, making offensive comments or touching someone inappropriately.
- Retaliation claims — If your employer retaliates against you for exercising your rights under California law, you may be entitled to compensation, policy changes and other remedies.
- Wrongful termination — In most cases, termination is not wrongful unless your employer discharged you in retaliation for participating in a union or fired you as a result of your sexual orientation, age, race, nationality, religion, medical condition or another reason protected activity under California law.
- Wage and hour claims — Many compensation practices are illegal under federal and California law. Some examples include not paying someone for overtime work or withholding bonuses or commissions.
- Severance agreements — We have extensive experience reviewing severance agreements before employees sign them and forfeit their right to later file a lawsuit. Our law firm also holds employers accountable for not following through with the terms of their severance agreements.
