Law Offices of Buchsbaum & Haag, LLP - Long Beach, CA
Law Offices of Buchsbaum & Haag, LLP is a premier employee rights litigation firm in Long Beach, California. Led by veteran attorneys Brent Buchsbaum and Laurel Haag, the firm represents workers in wrongful termination, sexual harassment, wage theft, class action, and PAGA claims on a contingency fee basis.
Protecting California Workers with High-Stakes Employment Litigation
Employees in California are entitled to safe, equitable, and lawful working conditions. However, corporate employers routinely violate state and federal labor statutes to preserve their bottom line. The Law Offices of Buchsbaum & Haag, LLP delivers formidable legal representation to workers facing illegal treatment across Long Beach, Los Angeles County, Orange County, and Southern California. Founded by accomplished litigators Brent Buchsbaum and Laurel N. Haag, the firm brings more than four decades of combined legal proficiency to every dispute. When you urgently need an employment lawyer or seek to find an attorney to hold an abusive company liable, Buchsbaum & Haag provides the trial-tested strength required to prevail.
Comprehensive Employment Law and Employee Advocacy
The firm concentrates exclusively on plaintiff-side employment litigation, ensuring undivided loyalty to workers rather than corporations. The legal team routinely litigates complex workplace disputes, including:
- Wrongful Termination: Representing employees who have been unlawfully fired, laid off, or forced out in violation of statutory protections, anti-discrimination mandates, or employment contracts.
- Workplace Discrimination: Litigating claims involving mistreatment based on protected characteristics such as race, age, sex, disability, sexual orientation, medical condition, or pregnancy under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA).
- Sexual Harassment and Hostile Work Environment: Enforcing strict liability and workplace safety for individuals subjected to unwelcome sexual advances, inappropriate physical conduct, or pervasive workplace hostility.
- Whistleblower and Retaliation Claims: Defending brave workers penalized, demoted, or discharged after reporting corporate wrongdoing, regulatory safety hazards, or fraudulent activities.
- Wage and Hour Disputes: Recovering earned financial compensation for unpaid overtime, minimum wage violations, off-the-clock labor, unlawful tip confiscation, and missed meal and rest breaks.
Class Actions and California PAGA Representative Actions
In addition to individual lawsuits, Buchsbaum & Haag has established a formidable record in collective legal actions. Some corporate labor violations involve amounts too small for an individual worker to litigate alone, yet widespread enough across a workforce to yield substantial corporate windfalls. The firm utilizes class action litigation and the California Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) to compel corporate accountability across entire companies. Through PAGA representative actions, employees step into the shoes of the state labor agency to pursue civil penalties for widespread labor code infractions, ensuring systemic workplace reforms and financial restitution.
Proven Courtroom Credentials and Direct Partner Attention
Both Brent Buchsbaum and Laurel Haag have earned high acclaim among peers and judiciary members, including consistent recognition in Super Lawyers, Los Angeles Magazine Top Women Lawyers, and selection to the Million Dollar Advocates Forum. Unlike high-volume law offices that delegate crucial legal tasks to inexperienced associates or administrative staff, Buchsbaum & Haag guarantees that founding partners personally manage each stage of your case. From initial case evaluation to summary judgment motions and trial arguments, clients benefit directly from seasoned partner-level legal acumen.
Contingency Representation and Free Initial Consultation
The Law Offices of Buchsbaum & Haag, LLP operates strictly on a contingency fee foundation: clients incur zero upfront legal costs, and attorney fees are earned only if a favorable financial settlement or trial verdict is secured. Bilingual services in English and Spanish ensure accessible communication for all Southern California employees.
