Walnut Creek attorneys 

Labor and Employment Law

California has some of the strongest protections for employees in the United States, but not all employers comply with the law. Our attorneys work to hold employers for many types of misconduct and, if applicable, can help you navigate the process of filing a claim with California’s Department of Fair Housing and Employment (DFEH) or the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Depending on the nature of the situation, we may be able to help you recover economic, non-economic, and punitive damages.

We stand up for employees facing many types of issues, including:

• Unlawful Discrimination: Employers are prohibited from making employment decisions on discriminatory grounds. We can review your rights under California’s extensive anti-discrimination laws and determine whether you may have been discriminated against.
• Sexual Harassment. No one should have to put up with unwanted comments, touching, or quid pro quos. If you are being subject to a hostile work environment, our team can help you explore your legal options.
• Unpaid Wages. You must be paid for all hours worked, including any earned overtime compensation. We can help you collect what you are owed and litigate any related breaches to your employment contract.
• Unlawful Retaliation. You automatically receive certain legal protections if you stand up to or report misconduct, refuse unlawful orders, “blow the whistle,” request accommodations, or participate in a government investigation. Our firm can advocate for you if you are subject to adverse actions due to your participation in a protected activity.
• Wrongful Termination. Employers cannot terminate you on discriminatory or retaliatory grounds. If you suspect you were unfairly fired or laid off, we can evaluate your unique circumstances and pursue all available legal remedies.
