Providing California Residents With Rigorous, Experienced Representation
Areas of Practices
Areas of Practices
Our law firm can represent you in nearly any labor or employment law case, including:
-
Discrimination. Discrimination comes in many forms, including pay discrimination and a loss of opportunities based on a protected class.
-
Harassment. There are strict laws forbidding harassment in the workplace. A suit may be the only way to stop these patterns from continuing to repeat.
-
Overtime. If your position has overtime work, you are entitled to overtime pay. If your employer has not paid you for this work, or they have misclassified your employment status in order to not pay overtime, contact our attorneys.
-
Minimum Wage. Federal and state laws require every employer to pay a certain amount to all of their employees. If you are being underpaid, we may be able to help.
-
Breaks and Leave. Every employee is entitled to a certain number of breaks. Are you not getting the breaks you are supposed to get during your shifts? Were you not paid or provided with mandated holiday and sick leave? Contact us now.
The examples above are just a few examples of how we can help you deal with legal issues with your employer. For a free consultation with our attorneys, contact our office today.
