The importance of an employment law attorney

Federal and state laws protect US employees. Yet many employers still violate these mandates every day. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Sexual harassment in the work environment
• Discrimination and harassment based on race, gender, age, sex, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or nationality
• Unjustified dismissal
• Unpaid or underpaid overtime
• Wage theft
• Lack of safety and health in the work environment
• Ignoring the need for accommodations for employees with disabilities
• Pregnancy discrimination
• Denial of medical/family leave
• Retaliation against employees who report wrongdoing

If you suspect that your labor rights have not been respected and the reasons are unfair and illegal, it is essential that you contact an experienced law firm that is focused on defending the rights of workers. Partnering with an attorney will represent an advantage in your case, allowing you to take control of your situation.

Keep in mind that many employment disputes have been resolved before trial. Legal representation opens the door to several options, including filing a complaint with the appropriate government agency, orderly and uncomplicated paperwork, negotiating settlements that are fair to you, filing a lawsuit, and effective representation in court.

Dedicated employment attorneys fight for your right to work in a place free from discrimination, danger, intimidation, and retaliation. For All Workers considers the labor rights in force in California, one of the country’s strongest in that category.
