Protecting Employee Rights in Workplace Disputes
California provides some of the strongest worker protection statutes in the country, yet employees frequently encounter illegal treatment on the job. Workers often need an employment lawyer immediately when facing retaliation or unjust dismissal. Acting as committed wrongful termination lawyers, workplace discrimination lawyers, and wage and hour lawyers, Engels-Janzen advocates fiercely on behalf of wronged employees. The practice represents workers in claims involving race, gender, disability, and age discrimination, sexual harassment, hostile work environments, unpaid overtime, rest break violations, and unlawful employee misclassification under California labor law.
