Employment Law Focus

The firm specializes in representing plaintiffs in a wide range of employment disputes, ensuring that California's strong labor laws are enforced.

• Wrongful Termination: California is an at-will employment state, but that does not give employers the right to fire workers for illegal reasons. Erkel Law represents employees fired in violation of public policy, such as for whistleblowing or exercising their legal rights.
• Discrimination and Harassment: The firm fights for victims of workplace discrimination based on race, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, or religion. They also handle cases of sexual harassment, helping survivors hold perpetrators and enabling companies accountable.
• Wage and Hour Violations: Theft of wages is a common issue. The firm litigates cases involving unpaid overtime, missed meal and rest breaks, off-the-clock work, and misclassification of employees as independent contractors.
• Retaliation: It is illegal for an employer to punish an employee for complaining about safety violations or illegal activities. Erkel Law aggressively pursues retaliation claims to protect the integrity of the workplace.
