Every worker across California is entitled to a safe, lawful, and dignified workplace. Located at 301 North Lake Avenue in Pasadena, Swain-Gil Employment Law APC is dedicated to protecting California workers from corporate overreach and unlawful employer practices. Founded by attorney Anton Swain-Gil, a decorated trial competitor and former Order of the Barristers honoree from UC Davis School of Law, our firm represents employees in state and federal courts throughout Southern California. We combine high-level negotiation skill with strategic trial readiness to ensure that hardworking individuals receive justice and meaningful compensation.

Vigorous Defense Against Wrongful Termination and Retaliation

Losing your job unexpectedly can create severe financial instability and emotional distress, especially when termination follows unlawful retaliation. If you need to hire an attorney who knows how to hold predatory companies accountable, our Pasadena employment firm moves rapidly to preserve workplace records, emails, and personnel files. We handle all forms of unlawful dismissal, including:

• Wrongful termination claims where an employee is fired in violation of statutory public policy or contractual provisions.
• Retaliation for filing internal workplace grievances, reporting sexual harassment, or reporting safety code violations.
• Whistleblower protection claims involving reports of corporate illegality, tax evasion, or wage violations.
• In-depth severance agreement analysis and negotiation to ensure you do not inadvertently surrender valuable statutory claims without fair consideration.

Combatting Workplace Discrimination and Harassment

Workplace bias remains a persistent issue in modern business. As dedicated employment and labor lawyers, we fight discriminatory practices that hinder career advancement or cultivate hostile working conditions. Our firm handles sensitive and complex claims across several critical practice areas:

• Unlawful workplace discrimination based on race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religious beliefs, or age.
• Sex and gender discrimination, including unequal pay, denied promotions, and pregnancy discrimination.
• Disability discrimination and failure to accommodate physical or mental impairments under California state statutes.
• Severe workplace harassment, hostile work environments, and inappropriate sexual conduct by managers or co-workers.
• Retaliatory disciplinary actions and demotions triggered by taking protected medical or family medical leaves.

Enforcing Fair Compensation and Wage and Hour Protections

California maintains some of the most robust wage and hour laws in the country, yet many companies intentionally cut corners. Swain-Gil Employment Law APC pursues employers who commit wage theft, including cases involving unpaid overtime wages, off-the-clock duties, interrupted meal breaks, missed rest intervals, unreimbursed remote work expenses, and unlawful worker misclassification.

Bilingual Plaintiff Advocacy and Dedicated Client Care

Facing a well-funded corporate employer can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to confront this battle alone. When employees need a lawyer urgently, our firm responds with immediate guidance, compassionate counsel, and clear communication. Founder Anton Swain-Gil is fluent in Spanish, ensuring that language barriers never prevent California workers from obtaining top-tier legal advocacy. We represent clients on a contingency fee basis with zero upfront legal expenses, meaning we only recover fees if we secure compensation for you.
