Practice Areas
California law protects employees from being fired for illegal reasons such as discrimination, retaliation, or reporting violations. We examine the circumstances surrounding your termination and determine whether your employer violated state or federal statutes. Our legal staff builds a strong case to recover lost wages, benefits, and additional compensation you are owed.
Employers in California must follow strict rules regarding minimum wage, overtime pay, meal breaks, and rest periods. When companies fail to meet these obligations, workers suffer real financial harm. We investigate wage theft, misclassification, and unpaid overtime claims to ensure you receive every dollar you have earned under the law.
No one should have to endure harassment or a hostile workplace to earn a living. We represent employees who have been subjected to sexual harassment, unlawful harassment, discrimination, or other conduct that may violate applicable workplace laws. Our legal staff works to hold offenders and employers responsible for allowing such behavior to continue.
Federal and California laws prohibit employers from treating workers unfairly based on race, gender, age, religion, or disability. We advocate for employees who have faced discriminatory hiring, promotion, or termination practices. Jeff Howell and the firm’s legal team handle matters involving failure to provide reasonable accommodations for workers with disabilities.
Employees who report illegal activities, safety violations, or fraud in the workplace are protected by law from employer retaliation. We represent whistleblowers who have been demoted, fired, or otherwise punished for speaking up. Our legal staff fights to protect your position and secure compensation for any damages caused by retaliatory actions.
Racial discrimination in any form, from hiring decisions to daily workplace treatment, is illegal under both state and federal law. We represent employees who have experienced race-based bias, slurs, unequal pay, or unfair discipline. Our attorneys pursue claims aggressively to ensure employers are held accountable for discriminatory practices.
Employment law covers a broad spectrum of protections beyond common claims. Whether you are navigating a breach of contract, workplace conflicts, or other professional challenges, we provide legal guidance tailored to your specific situation. Contact us to discuss the details of your case.
