Questions
What types of employment law cases do you handle?
We specialize in wage and hour violations, workplace misclassification, discrimination claims, and other employment law issues affecting California workers through class action and individual litigation.
How do class action lawsuits work?
Class actions allow groups of employees with similar claims to pursue legal action collectively. We identify common violations, certify the class, and seek compensation for all affected workers through efficient litigation.
What if my employer retaliates against me?
California law protects employees from retaliation for asserting their rights. We handle retaliation claims as part of broader employment law cases, ensuring workers can pursue justice without fear of adverse consequences.
How are attorney fees handled?
We work on contingency in most cases, meaning we only collect fees if we win your case. This ensures access to justice regardless of financial circumstances while aligning our interests with client outcomes.
