Championing Workplace Justice Across California
When employees face mistreatment in the workplace, navigating state and federal labor statutes can feel overwhelming. Lawyers for Employee and Consumer Rights APC (LFECR) provides steadfast, aggressive advocacy for everyday workers standing up against unlawful corporate practices. Headquartered in Burbank, California, the firm was established in 2015 under the leadership of managing partner and head of litigation Robert Ebert Byrnes, a Stanford Law School graduate with decades of legal experience. Operating on the core belief that access to justice should never depend on financial wealth, LFECR focuses exclusively on representing workers and consumers, ensuring there are zero conflicts of interest with corporate employers.
Comprehensive Employment Law and Worker Advocacy
The legal team handles high-stakes employment disputes across retail, healthcare, hospitality, logistics, and technology sectors. Whether you need to hire an attorney to challenge systemic wage theft or find a lawyer to combat unlawful termination, LFECR delivers seasoned courtroom advocacy and sharp pre-litigation negotiation. The firm focuses on key areas of workplace rights:
- Wrongful termination: Protecting workers fired in retaliation for whistleblowing, reporting safety violations, filing workers' compensation claims, or exercising lawful medical leave.
- Wage and hour claims: Pursuing unpaid minimum wage, unpaid overtime, rest and meal break violations, off-the-clock labor, and independent contractor misclassification under California Labor Code.
- Workplace discrimination: Holding companies accountable for discriminatory adverse actions based on race, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, pregnancy, or religion.
- Harassment and hostile work environments: Taking aggressive action against severe or pervasive sexual harassment, abusive supervisors, and retaliatory conduct.
- FMLA and medical leave violations: Defending employees penalized or terminated for taking protected family care or medical leave.
Client-Focused Advocacy With Zero Upfront Costs
A major obstacle for many mistreated workers is the high cost of quality legal representation. LFECR operates strictly on a contingency fee arrangement, which means clients owe zero out-of-pocket legal expenses unless compensation is recovered through a negotiated settlement or courtroom judgment. Unlike many litigation practices that turn away smaller matters, LFECR is prepared to take on legitimate claims of all sizes that other firms decline. When individuals reach out, they consult directly with legal professionals ready to review case details thoroughly.
Statewide Reach With Bilingual Support
From its Burbank headquarters at 3500 West Olive Avenue, LFECR assists workers throughout the Greater Los Angeles area and across all 58 California counties. Recognizing the diverse fabric of California's workforce, the firm offers comprehensive bilingual services in English and Spanish (Se Habla Español). If you need an employment lawyer urgently to evaluate an illegal dismissal or review potential wage violations before statutory deadlines expire, LFECR offers free, confidential initial consultations to explain your legal rights and chart the best path toward justice.
