Successful Outcome

You owe nothing unless we obtain a recovery for you.

Can I be fired for any reason in California, and what constitutes wrongful termination?

While California is an “at-will” employment state, wrongful termination occurs when you’re fired for illegal reasons like discrimination based on your age, sex, gender, medical conditional or your association with someone with these protected characteristics, retaliation for reporting safety violations, reporting illegal activity in the workplace, or refusing to break the law. If you believe you were terminated for discriminatory or retaliatory reasons by your California employer, you may have grounds for a wrongful termination lawsuit and may be entitled to substantial compensation.

What are my rights to overtime pay and meal breaks under California law?

California requires overtime pay at 1.5x your regular rate for hours over 8 per day or 40 per week, and double time for hours over 12 per day. You’re also entitled to duty free (uninterrupted) 30-minute meal breaks for shifts over 5 hours and duty free (uninterrupted) 10-minute rest breaks every 4 hours. If your California employer is denying these rights, you may be entitled to back wages and penalties.

What should I do if my employer retaliates against me for complaining about workplace issues?

Retaliation is illegal when your employer punishes you for filing complaints about discrimination, harassment, reporting wage violations, or engaging in other protected activities (.i.e., complaining about illegal activity in the workplace). This can include termination, demotion, or creating a hostile work environment after you’ve made a complaint. Make sure you document your complaints (email, text, slack message, ect.). Be ready to communicate the timeline of events. Contact our office immediately as there are strict deadlines for filing retaliation claims.

What are my rights regarding family leave, pregnancy, and medical leave in California?

California provides up to 12 weeks of unpaid family leave under CFRA for childbirth, serious health conditions, or military family leave, plus up to 4 months for pregnancy disability. These laws apply to employers with 5+ employees and include job protection and continued benefits. Your employer cannot terminate you for taking legally protected leave in.

Know Your Rights

Too often, employees don’t realize that what’s happening at work may be against the law. If you’ve experienced any of the situations below, you may be entitled to substantial compensation .

Leave of Absence & Medical Accommodations
  • Even if you don’t qualify for FMLA or CFRA, your employer must provide medical leave unless it creates an undue burden.
  • Were you told you could only return if you’re “100% healed,” “on full duty,” or without restrictions?
  • Did your employer cap your leave at 30, 60, or 90 days, no matter your doctor’s orders?
  • These practices are unlawful. We can help you fight back.
  • You are entitled to schedule changes, time off for prenatal visits, lifting modifications, or remote work if you had that option before.
  • If your employer refused accommodations, they may be breaking the law.
  • Protect yourself and your baby. Call us now to learn your rights.
  • Were you written up, demoted, or fired within 90 days of making a complaint?
  • Did you report harassment, safety violations, fraud, or unpaid wages?
  • Did you refuse to do something illegal and face retaliation?
  • Retaliation is illegal. You may be entitled to compensation.
  • Do you work overtime but only get paid for 40 hours?
  • Are you misclassified as “exempt” or “independent contractor” but treated like an employee?
  • Were commissions, tips, or bonuses withheld after you left the job?
  • Did your employer take unlawful deductions for uniforms, equipment, or shortages?
  • Did you not receive your final paycheck on time?
  • Every hour counts. Every paycheck matters. We’ll make sure you’re paid what you’ve earned.
  • Did you miss your lunch or rest breaks?
  • Were your breaks interrupted, forced onsite, or cut short?
  • Did you get fewer than two rest breaks in an 8-hour shift?
  • For every missed break, your employer owes you money. We’ll fight to recover it.
  • Are you a nanny, housekeeper, or caregiver paid a salary but not overtime after 9 hours?
  • You may be owed thousands in unpaid wages. Don’t let your employer take advantage of you.
On-Call & Cellphone Use
  • Does your employer require you to carry a phone, radio, or be “on call”?
  • If you aren’t being paid for that time, you may be entitled to additional wages.
  • We’ll hold them accountable.
  • Have you been sexually harassed by a lead, supervisor, or manager?
  • Have you endured racist, sexist, or ageist remarks or treatment?
  • Were you denied promotions or opportunities because of your race, gender, disability, or age?
  • You deserve dignity and respect at work. We’ll fight to protect your rights.
  • Were you fired after requesting accommodations, taking medical leave, or filing a workers’ comp claim?
  • Were you terminated soon after reporting harassment, discrimination, or illegal conduct?
  • Losing your job unfairly isn’t just devastating — it’s often unlawful. We’ll fight for justice.
  • Did you test positive for marijuana and face discipline, even though use was outside of work?
  • Did you know urine tests are unreliable — and that laws protect off-duty legal use in many states?
  • If you’ve been punished unfairly, we can help you fight back.
  • Did your employer ignore unsafe conditions or broken equipment?
  • Were you punished for filing a workers’ comp claim or reporting safety concerns?
  • Your safety comes first. We’ll make sure your rights are protected.
  • Did you ask for an accommodation but your employer stopped working with you to find a solution
  • Employers have an ongoing duty to engage in a good-faith interactive process — not just once, but continuously.
  • If they failed you, we’ll hold them accountable.
