Cases We Handle
You have the right to be treated fairly, no matter your race, gender, age, disability, or sexual orientation. We’ve handled high-stakes discrimination cases across California, including a record-breaking $61 million verdict for racial and ethnic bias. If you’ve been denied promotions, excluded, or penalized based on who you are, you may have a case.
Workplace harassment can be verbal, physical, or even subtle — but if it makes your environment hostile or unsafe, it’s illegal. From repeated crude jokes to explicit misconduct, we’ve held employers accountable for allowing toxic behavior to thrive. You don’t have to put up with it.
California law protects your right to take time off for family, medical, or pregnancy-related reasons. If your employer denied you leave, pressured you not to take it, or retaliated after you returned, they may be breaking the law. Let our attorneys look into it.
Wage theft takes many forms: unpaid overtime, misclassification as an independent contractor, or forcing you to work off the clock. Our attorneys have recovered millions for workers who were shortchanged, and we’re ready to fight for what you’re owed.
When employees speak up about illegal or unethical behavior, they’re protected under state and federal law. If you were fired, demoted, or punished for doing the right thing, we can help you hold your employer accountable, as we did in a $20 million retaliation case.
Even in “at-will” states like California, firings can still be illegal. If you were let go for discriminatory reasons, because you requested leave, or after reporting misconduct, that’s wrongful termination. We know how to prove it, and we have the track record to back it up.
FAQ
How do I know if I have a case?
If something feels off at work, such as unfair treatment, sudden termination, or denied leave, it’s worth speaking to a lawyer. We’ll listen, assess your options, and explain next steps.
What kind of settlement could I expect?
Each case is different. We look at damages, evidence, and the employer’s resources. Our job is to secure full, fair compensation for everything you’ve been through.
Do you charge upfront?
Never. We work on contingency, which means you pay nothing unless we win. Free consultations. No fees until you recover.
How long will my case take?
Some settle quickly. Others go to trial. Our Los Angeles attorneys keep you informed, prepared, and in control from start to finish.
