Fighting Workplace Discrimination and Sexual Harassment

Every employee has the right to work free from intimidation and prejudice. Under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act and federal statutes, employers must maintain workplaces free from unlawful bias. Erlich Law Firm, P.C. represents employees who have endured injustice involving racial discrimination, gender bias, disability discrimination, pregnancy discrimination, and age discrimination. As an assertive workplace discrimination lawyer and harassment lawyer, Jason Erlich pursues accountability for hostile work environments, unwanted advances, quid pro quo harassment, and retaliatory conduct, seeking full compensation for emotional distress, lost compensation, and punitive damages.

Wrongful Termination, Whistleblower Retaliation, and Leave Violations

California statutes strictly protect workers who report corporate misconduct, request earned wages, or take protected medical leave. Yet many companies retaliate through wrongful dismissal, demotions, salary cuts, or retaliatory performance reviews. Serving as a trusted wrongful termination lawyer, Jason Erlich has led landmark litigation against large corporations and public utilities. Whether your dispute involves whistleblower retaliation, violations of the Family and Medical Leave Act, or denial of reasonable disability accommodations, the firm builds formidable evidentiary cases for state and federal courts.

Class Actions and Unpaid Wage and Hour Violations
