Dedicated Workplace Advocacy for California Employees in Long Beach

Facing mistreatment, wage theft, or unfair dismissal in the workplace can jeopardize an individual livelihood and well-being. United Employees Law Group, PC provides aggressive legal representation exclusively to workers throughout Long Beach and across California. Established in 2004 by veteran litigator Walter Haines, who brings more than four decades of legal experience, the firm stands as a formidable defender of the underdog. Having successfully taken on some of the largest Fortune 500 corporations, the firm levels the playing field for employees. If you need to hire an attorney who understands the nuances of the California Labor Code, the firm works on a contingency fee basis, meaning clients owe nothing unless compensation is recovered.

Wage and Hour Claims and Complex Class Action Litigation

California possesses some of the most protective labor laws in the country, yet employers routinely cut corners at the expense of their workforce. As accomplished wage and hour lawyers and employment and labor lawyers, the firm takes a comprehensive whole-picture approach to uncover overlapping labor violations. Key focus areas include:

• Recovering unpaid overtime and minimum wage compensation for unrecorded work
• Pursuing premium pay for denied, delayed, or interrupted meal and rest breaks
• Addressing misclassification of non-exempt workers as independent contractors or exempt managers
• Prosecuting representative actions under the California Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA)

Through strategic class action lawsuits, the firm has helped thousands of workers recoup rightfully earned wages, overtime pay, and statutory penalties from non-compliant employers.

Vigorous Defense Against Wrongful Termination and Retaliation

While California operates under at-will employment principles, employers are strictly prohibited from terminating staff for unlawful reasons. Serving as committed wrongful termination lawyers, the firm represents workers fired in retaliation for reporting labor violations, requesting medical accommodations, or blowing the whistle on illegal corporate conduct. The attorneys thoroughly examine performance records, internal communications, and timing to prove retaliatory animus and seek full recovery for lost compensation and emotional distress.

Workplace Discrimination and Harassment Protection

Every employee deserves a professional environment free from bias and intimidation. Acting as skilled workplace discrimination lawyers and harassment lawyers, the firm prosecutes violations of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act. They represent workers who face disparate treatment due to race, gender, pregnancy, age, disability, sexual orientation, or medical conditions. Additionally, their team assists workers with dispute resolution as contract lawyers and business litigation lawyers when reviewing unlawful severance agreements or challenging forced arbitration provisions.
