Expert LEGAL Services

Our employment law experience can help you draft, review, and negotiate employment contracts to ensure that they are fair, legally compliant, and protect your interests. We can also advise you on any potential risks or issues before you sign a contract or severance agreement and most of the time can either get you more money or better terms.  Likewise we can assist employers to ensure they are compliant with the law and protect themselves from unnecessary lawsuits.

If you're not getting paid time and half for working more than 8 hours in a day or working more than 40 hours in a week you may have rights.  If you're not getting your 10 minute rest break for every 4 hours of work or 30 minute meal period for every 5 hours, you may have rights.  Likewise, an employer should have an effective employee handbook and accurately track employee hours as obligated under the California labor code.

If you are misclassified as an exempt (salaried) employee and therefore did not get your lawful rest and meal breaks or overtime you could have rights.  Contact us to discuss the facts of your potential case in more detail by filling out a new client intake form below to get started.

If you've experienced discrimination or harassment at work due to a protected class (race, ethnicity, religious beliefs, disability or medical condition or pregnancy or related leave), or protected conduct (blowing the whistle on illegal activity or filing for worker's comp due to a workplace injury or request for an accommodation for a medical condition), our firm can help  you understand your rights and options. We can provide you with the support and guidance you need to make a complaint and ensure that your rights are protected.

If you were injured in an accident that wasn't your fault, you need an attorney to ensure you can get the treatment you need and the fair compensation you deserve.  These are the steps you should take after an accident:

Make sure you and your loved ones are safe.  Call 911 and get care right away.  Acting quickly can be the difference of life or death or permanent vs. temporary injuries.

1. Call the police.  Get an official record (police report) *The officer will not create a report unless you are injured. a) Just tell the facts.  The adrenaline and shock can cause a delay in feeling any pain right way.   Go see a doctor as soon as possible or call an attorney who can refer you to one.  
2. Exchange information.  Driver’s license, insurance, phone, license plate, make and model of the car.  Take photos.  (DO NOT rely on the police report.  It can take many weeks to months to get this info).
3. Take photos of both cars individually, together, the street, the surroundings, the injuries, damage to the vehicles, etc.  
4. Call an attorney.  He/She will help you with the next steps and answer your questions.  Simple mistakes early on turn into big liabilities later.
5. NEVER talk to the insurance company or  record a statement without first speaking with an attorney.  Your lawyer will answer all of their questions for you once hired.

NOTE: These are mere tips to ensure you maximize your chance for a fair and adequate recovery for your injuries.  These cases are on a contingency so there is no up front out-of-pocket expense to you.  Don’t delay when asking for help.  Timing is everything.
