We are committed to protecting the rights of California-based employees who have been wronged by their employer. We strive for excellence to ensure that individuals receive the best possible representation in and outside the court.
In the field of labor law, an employment lawyer, often referred to as a workplace attorney, is an advocate for anyone involved in legal disputes, infractions, or claims.
An employment lawyer’s expertise in workplace legislation helps shape the treatment of workers and promote fairness in employment policies. Additionally, workplace attorneys can assist in the resolution of conflicts between coworkers or between employees and their employers.
When it comes to defending your rights and interests as well as your future in the industry, engaging an employment lawyer would be quiteis advantageous.
Workplace attorneys address a wide range of cases. Sexual harassment, age discrimination and wrongful termination are all typical concerns in employment law.
The following are some of the most prevalent cases handled by employment attorneys:
In the event that you have concerns about a potential claim arising from your job, an experienced workplace lawyer can provide guidance.
By ensuring that various federal and state rules and regulations are being followed by employers, employment attorneys fight to defend workers’ rights. Lawsuits can be brought against employers that engage in illegal behavior:
An employee should contact an employment attorney for advice and counsel if they believe that their employer is engaging in unlawful workplace practices. Employees that elect to take on their employer without an attorney may have a difficult time navigating the system and hurt their potential case.
Examples of instances in which consulting with an employment lawyer is a wise move include the following:
The first step in resolving workplace issues is to contact your Human Resources (HR) Department. An employment lawyer helping you file a complaint to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (FEHA) is your next option if HR is unable or unwilling to address your concerns.
If the EEOC or FEHA can’t help you, your lawyer will make certain you have your Notice of Right to Sue and any other necessary documents on hand. Taking these first actions will ensure that you get what is rightfully yours.
