The Mathews Law Group - Arcadia, CA

Premier Employment Law and Wrongful Termination Representation in Arcadia

When workers in California face illegal treatment, retaliation, or sudden job loss, they require a fearless and experienced advocate to stand up against powerful corporations. At The Mathews Law Group, based in Arcadia, California, the legal team is dedicated to fighting for the rights of employees across the state. Founded by elite trial attorney Charles T. Mathews, who was admitted to the State Bar of California in 1973, the firm brings over fifty years of formidable litigation experience to every single claim. If you need to hire an employment lawyer with a proven track record of securing multi-million dollar verdicts against major employers, our firm is prepared to deliver aggressive and principled representation.

Comprehensive Workplace Discrimination and Harassment Advocacy

California law strictly prohibits employers from discriminating against or harassing workers based on protected characteristics, including race, gender, age, disability, pregnancy, or sexual orientation. Under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), employers are legally obligated to maintain a safe and bias-free work environment. If you believe your rights have been violated, our firm can help you navigate the process of filing a claim and holding your employer accountable. When you seek to find a wrongful termination attorney who has successfully taken on massive entities like Kaiser Permanente and major utility companies, Charles T. Mathews and his team provide the sophisticated litigation skills necessary to win, ensuring you receive maximum compensation for lost wages and emotional distress.

Aggressive Wage and Hour Dispute Solutions

Wage theft is a widespread problem that affects thousands of hard-working Californians. Employers often misclassify workers as independent contractors to avoid paying overtime, deny mandatory meal and rest breaks, or fail to pay for all hours worked. Our firm has extensive experience handling both individual claims and complex consumer class actions. If you need a wage and hour lawyer urgently to recover unpaid overtime, rest break penalties, or minimum wage shortfalls, we can assist you. We navigate the intricate provisions of the California Labor Code and the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) to recover every cent you are owed, plus interest and statutory penalties.

Trial-Tested Courtroom Champions

What sets The Mathews Law Group apart from other employment law firms is our absolute willingness to take cases to trial. While many lawyers seek quick, low-value settlements to avoid the courtroom, our competitors know that Charles Mathews is a legendary trial veteran. He famously secured an $11.4 million jury verdict for wrongful termination in a landmark trial, which stood as one of the largest employment verdicts in Los Angeles County. This unmatched reputation for courtroom readiness ensures that major corporations and insurance carriers take our clients' claims seriously, frequently leading to favorable pre-trial settlement agreements.

Highly Acclaimed Legal Excellence

Our firm's principal, Charles T. Mathews, is a graduate of Loyola Law School Los Angeles and has been selected to the prestigious Super Lawyers list consecutively from 2010 to 2026. This honor is reserved for the top 5% of practicing attorneys in each state, reflecting a lifetime of outstanding professional achievement and peer recognition. Our legal team also holds active memberships in the California Employment Lawyers Association (CELA) and the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles (CAILA), remaining at the absolute forefront of legislative developments in employment rights and consumer protection.
