Tenacious Wrongful Termination and Retaliation Advocacy

While California is an at-will state, the law strictly prohibits terminations rooted in discrimination or retaliation. The wrongful termination lawyers at the firm aggressively pursue remedies for:

• Retaliatory firings following complaints about illegal workplace safety conditions or fraud.
• Job terminations violating the California Family Rights Act (CFRA) or Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
• Wrongful termination for reporting sexual assault, harassment, or unlawful labor code violations.
• Whistleblower retaliation claims under California Labor Code Section 1102.5.
• Breach of employment contracts, improper severance negotiations, and constructive discharge.

Workplace Harassment and Hostile Work Environment Claims

Every worker deserves an environment free from abuse and intimidation. The harassment lawyers at the firm vigorously prosecute California Fair Employment and Housing Act violations, including:

• Quid pro quo sexual harassment where employment benefits or job retention are conditioned on sexual favors.
• Hostile work environments created by pervasive sexual comments, offensive imagery, or inappropriate touching.
• Same-sex harassment and severe misconduct targeting LGBTQ and transgender employees.
• Supervisory harassment and employer failure to take immediate, effective corrective action upon notification.

Combating Workplace Discrimination

Prejudice has no place in California workplaces. The workplace discrimination lawyers at the firm hold discriminatory employers accountable across a broad spectrum of protected classifications:

• Pregnancy discrimination, refusal of reasonable accommodation, and demotion upon returning from maternity leave.
• Disability discrimination, denial of interactive dialogue, and failure to accommodate medical limitations.
• Racial discrimination, systemic promotion denials, and unequal compensation standards.
• Age discrimination targeting experienced workers aged forty and older during corporate downsizings.
• Religious discrimination and refusal to accommodate bona fide religious practices.

Wage and Hour Violations, Overtime, and PAGA Actions

Wage theft deprives hardworking laborers of rightful pay. The wage and hour lawyers at the firm recover compensation under California Labor Codes for unpaid overtime, missed meal breaks, off-the-clock labor, and misclassification. Through Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) actions, the firm holds employers accountable for payroll violations.
