W Employment Law - Irvine, CA

Tireless Advocacy for California Employees and Workers in Irvine

Every worker deserves dignity, fair pay, and protection from unlawful employer misconduct. Based at 7700 Irvine Center Drive in Irvine, W Employment Law represents employees throughout California against abusive workplaces and corporate wrongdoing. Founded by managing attorney Jacob N. Whitehead, the firm combines trial litigation skills with mastery of the California Labor Code and the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). The team fights relentlessly to secure justice and full financial recovery for workers.

Assertive Wrongful Termination and Whistleblower Retaliation

Although California is an at-will state, firing an employee for illegal or retaliatory reasons violates state and federal law. When workers seek to find a lawyer after wrongful termination, W Employment Law takes immediate action. Attorney Whitehead handles terminations resulting from reporting workplace hazards, uncovering fraud, requesting medical leave, or opposing unlawful company actions, pursuing compensation for lost earnings, emotional distress, and statutory penalties.

Defending Against Workplace Discrimination and Sexual Harassment

Workplace bias and harassment destroy careers and personal wellbeing. W Employment Law prosecutes employers who permit discrimination based on race, gender, disability, pregnancy, medical conditions, sexual orientation, or age. The firm also provides compassionate representation for victims of hostile work environments and sexual harassment, building strong evidentiary records to secure meaningful accountability.

California Wage and Hour Violations and Unpaid Overtime

Corporate wage theft deprives employees of essential income. When employees need an attorney urgently to recover unpaid wages, the firm pursues every statutory remedy. The practice resolves unpaid overtime, missed meal and rest breaks, off-the-clock work, unreimbursed expenses, and independent contractor misclassifications, ensuring workers receive back pay, interest, and statutory damages.

High-Stakes Class Actions and PAGA Representative Lawsuits

When an employer engages in widespread labor violations that harm dozens, hundreds, or thousands of workers, collective litigation provides the strongest vehicle for accountability. W Employment Law possesses extensive courtroom experience litigating consumer and employment class actions as well as Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) representative actions in state and federal courts, recovering millions of dollars in restitution.
