Aggressive Employment and Labor Law Advocacy in Anaheim, California
When California workers face unfair treatment, toxic work environments, or sudden job loss, having a battle-tested advocate is essential. Founded in 2004 by veteran litigator Jerry Dean Underwood, Jerry D Underwood Law Offices has defended employee rights across Anaheim, Orange County, and Southern California for more than two decades. Admitted to the State Bar of California in 1999 after earning his Juris Doctor from Loyola Law School of Los Angeles, where he was a member of the St. Thomas More Law Honor Society and served as Executive Editor of the International Law Review, attorney Underwood brings exceptional trial credentials to every case. Workers looking to hire a lawyer discover an unyielding advocate who takes on major corporations, public employers, and defense firms with relentless determination.
Tenacious Wrongful Termination Lawyers
California is an at-will employment state, but state and federal statutes strictly prohibit firing workers for unlawful reasons. Operating as dedicated wrongful termination lawyers, attorney Underwood investigates retaliatory and unlawful firings across various industries. The firm represents employees discharged due to:
- Whistleblower retaliation after reporting unlawful corporate conduct or safety violations
- Exercising statutory rights under the California Family Rights Act or Family and Medical Leave Act
- Taking protected medical leave for pregnancy disability or serious medical conditions
- Refusing to participate in unlawful activities or labor code infractions
- Filing workers compensation claims or requesting reasonable disability accommodations
Through detailed discovery, the practice uncovers pretextual justifications, holding employers accountable for lost income, emotional distress, and statutory penalties.
Resolute Workplace Discrimination and Harassment Lawyers
Every individual has the right to earn a living free from bigotry and hostile treatment. Serving as experienced workplace discrimination lawyers and harassment lawyers, the firm defends clients subjected to unlawful bias under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Attorney Underwood prosecutes claims involving severe sexual harassment, hostile work environment conditions, and bias based on race, age, gender, pregnancy, sexual orientation, disability, and religion before state courts and administrative agencies like the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing.
Dedicated Wage and Hour Lawyers
California maintains strict employee compensation standards, yet wage theft remains widespread. Functioning as knowledgeable wage and hour lawyers, the firm represents workers denied their lawful earnings. The office prosecutes violations regarding unpaid overtime, minimum wage shortfalls, denied off-duty meal and rest breaks, unlawful deductions, and improper employee misclassification as exempt staff or independent contractors, helping workers recover back pay and statutory waiting time penalties.
Strategic Severance Agreements and Contract Lawyers
Departing from an employer requires protecting future career opportunities. Acting as dependable contract lawyers, attorney Underwood drafts, reviews, and negotiates executive compensation agreements, severance agreements, non-disclosure terms, and trade secret disputes. The firm safeguards clients from signing away valuable legal claims without appropriate compensation, negotiating favorable exit packages that include extended benefits and substantial severance pay.
