Types of Cases Our Employment Law Firm Handles

Discrimination

If you believe you have been discriminated against by an employer, labor union or employment agency when applying for a job or while on the job because of your race, color, sex, religion, national origin, age or disability, or if you believe that you have been discriminated against because of opposing a prohibited practice or participating in an equal employment opportunity matter, you may be entitled to file a charge of discrimination with the EEOC.

A discrimination attorney at our firm can help explain California discrimination laws as well as help you file a discrimination claim. We also provide a discrimination questionnaire and can answer any questions you may have about your workplace rights during a free attorney case review to help you get the right information. Types of discrimination workers may experience on the job include:

Age Discrimination

If you believe you have been subjected to age discrimination at work, you may be able to secure relief under state or federal law. An employment discrimination lawyer can help explain age discrimination law and what actions by your employer or a coworker may fall under age discrimination.

Disability Discrimination

If you believe you have experienced disability discrimination at work, you have rights under disability discrimination laws. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires employers covered by this law to provide reasonable accommodations to applicants or employees with physical or mental limitations who are otherwise qualified to perform their job duties. However, these reasonable disability accommodations must not impose an undue hardship on the employer. A disability discrimination attorney can help and guide you in what to do after experiencing disability discrimination in the workplace.

National Origin Discrimination

If you believe you are experiencing national origin discrimination while working, there may be legal protections available to you under state and federal national origin discrimination laws. Regardless of employee ancestry or the nationality of a job applicant, every California worker is entitled to the same employment opportunities. Our discrimination lawyers for national origin cases can help explain examples of national origin discrimination during a free call with an employment attorney near you.

Pregnancy Discrimination

If you believe pregnancy discrimination is happening to you on the job, you should learn your right to file a pregnancy discrimination case. The Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) protects pregnant employees from discrimination at work. Our pregnancy discrimination lawyers can help explain pregnancy discrimination laws for both California mothers and fathers.

Racial Discrimination

If you believe you have been racially discriminated against in the workplace, you have rights under federal law for discrimination based on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. People who work for smaller employers are usually protected by similar state anti-discrimination laws. A racial discrimination lawyer can help explain Los Angeles discrimination laws and possible remedies that may be available.

Sex and Gender Discrimination

If you believe there is sex discrimination or gender discrimination occurring at your job, know that employment law does offer protection in sex and gender discrimination cases. Gender harassment is also a form of sex discrimination, but does not need to be sexual in nature. Our sex discrimination lawyers can help explain gender discrimination law.

Sexual Orientation Discrimination

If you believe you have been subjected to sexual orientation discrimination in a California workplace, there are both state and federal laws that prohibit these actions. Eleven states, including California, currently have laws prohibiting sexual orientation discrimination in both private and public jobs. A sexual orientation discrimination attorney can help explain the specifics of sexual discrimination law when you call our law office today.

Harassment

There are various kinds of harassment that can take place at work. Read these harassment in the workplace resources for more information about your employee rights. Our harassment lawyers have also put together a guide that explains what to do after sexual harassment.

Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)

California employees have both federal and state rights to go on leave from work to take care of themselves or family members under certain conditions with the FMLA or the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). Maternity and paternity leave are also protected under the FMLA.

Pregnancy Leave

California employment laws regarding leave for pregnancy, childbirth, disability due to pregnancy, adoptions, and general family leave are generous, but not all employees or their employers are aware of their maternity leave and paternity leave rights. Our maternity leave lawyers explain pregnancy disability leave laws and California maternity disability on our pregnancy leave resource page.

Wage and Overtime Claims

Federal and state laws require that your employer pay you minimum wages and, in most instances, overtime wages for hourly workers who put in more than eight hours in a workday and 40 hours in a workweek. The California minimum wage law requires your employer to pay you at least the state-mandated rate. Our unpaid wages attorney can help explain other California wage disputes.

Class Actions

Filing a class action is not a decision to be taken lightly, but our employment class action attorneys recognize that sometimes it can be the best choice for groups of employees with similar employment law claims against their employers. For employers needing to defend against class action cases, our class action lawyers can help address the current issues while taking additional legal actions to mitigate future suits. We are familiar with both sides of the class action process and bring our resources, knowledge, and experience to every class action lawsuit we represent.

Whistleblowing

Did you refuse to take part in illegal or unlawful practices your employer is violating? Did you report your employer (or blow the whistle) for these actions, and are now experiencing workplace retaliation? You have rights under federal whistleblower protection laws as well as under whistleblowing laws in California. Our whistleblower attorney can help explain protections under the California Whistleblower Protection Act.

Wrongful Termination
