What we handle
If something at work feels wrong, it is worth a conversation
Many people wait because they are not sure it counts. California has some of the strongest worker protections in the country. These are the situations people bring to us most.
Sexual harassment
Unwanted comments, messages, or touching. Pressure from someone with power over your job. Worry that reporting it would cost you.
California law: harassment by a supervisor, coworker, or even a customer is prohibited, and employers must take steps to prevent it.
Sexual HarassmentFired or forced out
Let go weeks after you asked for leave, reported a problem, or announced a pregnancy. The reason they gave did not add up.
California law: most jobs are at-will, but firing someone for an illegal reason is not allowed.
Wrongful TerminationPunished for speaking up
After you complained, your schedule got worse, your hours were cut, or you were suddenly "not a good fit."
California law: employers cannot punish you for reporting harassment, discrimination, safety problems, or pay violations.
Retaliation ClaimsTreated differently
Passed over, written up, or paid less, and it lined up with your race, age, gender, pregnancy, religion, disability, or orientation.
California law: employment decisions cannot be based on who you are.
Workplace DiscriminationDenied leave or accommodation
You needed time off for a medical issue, or a small change to keep doing your job. The answer was no, or you were pushed out.
California law: employers must work with you on reasonable accommodations, and many workers have a right to protected leave.
Disability RightsShorted on pay
Working through lunch, staying after clock-out, overtime that never showed up, or a final paycheck that came late.
California law: for most hourly workers, overtime starts after 8 hours in a day, and a missed meal or rest break can earn an extra hour of pay.
Wage and Hour Disputes
Not sure which one fits, or it is more than one? That is common. Start the conversation and we will sort it out with you.

Free and confidential - Our intake team
We call you
Someone on our intake team calls you for a confidential conversation. You share what you are comfortable with, and we ask what an attorney will need to know.
Calls returned Mon-Fri 9am-5pm PT - A California-licensed attorney
An attorney reviews your situation
An attorney looks at what you shared and decides whether we can take your case. If we cannot take it, we tell you plainly and, where possible, point you to someone who may help.
No cost, no obligation - If we accept your case
We fight for you
You sign a written agreement that explains fees and costs. From there, we deal with the other side and its lawyers so you do not have to, and we keep you updated along the way.

Common questions
What people ask before they reach out
Is this confidential? Will my employer find out?
We keep what you share confidential. We do not contact your employer unless you hire us, and we talk with you before we do. If you are worried about privacy, use a personal phone and email, not a work device.
Can I be fired for reporting harassment or talking to a lawyer?
California law prohibits retaliating against an employee for reporting harassment or discrimination, or for complaining about pay or safety. If it happens, that can be a separate claim.
Gov. Code 12940; Labor Code 98.6, 1102.5I still work there. Can I still talk to you?
Yes. Many people reach out while they are still employed. Talking to us does not commit you to anything.
I do not have proof. Should I still reach out?
Yes. Many cases start with a person's own account. Texts, emails, dates, and the names of people who saw what happened can help, and we can talk through what may exist.
How long do I have?
It depends on the claim. Harassment, discrimination, and retaliation claims under California's FEHA generally must be filed with the Civil Rights Department within three years. Some wrongful termination claims must be filed in court within two years. Wage claims generally reach back three years, sometimes four. Some deadlines are much shorter, including for government workers, so ask early.
Gov. Code 12960; CCP 335.1, 338; Bus. & Prof. Code 17208What does it cost?
The conversation and the attorney review are free. If we take your case, there is no attorney fee unless we recover money for you. Fees and any costs are set out in a written agreement you see before signing, and you may be responsible for certain costs as that agreement explains.
Does immigration status matter?
California's workplace protections, including wage laws, apply to workers regardless of immigration status.
