Our firm focuses exclusively on California labor and employment law — and we know how to win.
California has some of the most comprehensive wage and hour protections in the country — and some of the most violated.
If your employer has failed to pay you minimum wage, denied legally required breaks, withheld overtime, made improper deductions from your paycheck, or failed to pay you at all upon termination — you may have a claim.
California workers are owed 1.5x pay for hours over 8 in a day — not just 40 in a week. If your employer isn’t following this rule, you may be owed significant back pay.
Being labeled an “independent contractor” doesn’t make you one. Employers frequently misclassify workers to avoid paying benefits, overtime, and taxes — at your expense.
Under California law (and AB5), many workers classified as contractors are legally employees and entitled to full protections. If you’ve been misclassified, you may be owed back pay, benefits, expense reimbursements, and more.
California law prohibits employers from treating employees differently based on protected characteristics — including race, gender, age, disability, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, pregnancy, and more.
Discrimination doesn’t always look obvious. It can show up in hiring decisions, promotions, pay disparities, job assignments, performance reviews, or a hostile work environment.
You don’t have to tolerate it — and you don’t have to prove it alone.
California law protects workers who speak up. If you reported illegal activity, filed a complaint, requested reasonable accommodations, took protected leave, or simply asserted your rights — your employer cannot legally punish you for it.
Retaliation can take many forms: termination, demotion, reduced hours, reassignment, harassment, or a sudden negative performance review that appeared out of nowhere.
If the timing seems suspicious, it probably is.
California is an at-will employment state — but that doesn’t mean your employer can fire you for any reason. There are significant legal limitations on when and why an employer can terminate an employee.
You may have a wrongful termination claim if you were fired because of a protected characteristic, in retaliation for exercising your rights, in violation of an employment contract, or for refusing to do something illegal.
You also may have a claim if your employer created conditions so intolerable that you had no choice but to quit — known as constructive dismissal.
If you were injured on the job or developed a work-related illness, you are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits in California — regardless of fault.
Unfortunately, employers and insurers don’t always make it easy. Claims get denied. Benefits get delayed. Injuries get downplayed. That’s where we come in.
We help injured workers navigate the workers’ compensation system to ensure they receive the full medical treatment and wage replacement benefits they’re legally owed.
That’s exactly what a free consultation is for. We’ll review your situation, explain your options, and give you an honest assessment — no strings attached.
