Los Angeles Employment Lawyer 

All California employees deserve a safe workplace that is free of discrimination, harassment, and other misconduct. Unfortunately, not all employers comply with federal and state laws governing the workforce. When they violate statutes intended to protect your rights, you may have remedies for seeking justice and recovering compensation for your hardship. However, you may not know where to begin with the complex legal process.

You can count on our team at the Obagi Law Group, P.C. to assist with a wide range of employment law issues. We have decades of combined experience fighting for employees who suffered harm because of employer misconduct, so we are prepared to advocate on your behalf. Please contact our office to speak to a Los Angeles employment lawyer, and read on for some information about our legal services.

Protecting Employees in All Types of Employment Law Cases

There are multiple laws governing the employer-employee relationship, workplace misconduct, and conditions in the work environment. Our lawyers are able to pursue all legal remedies available for such cases as:

Discrimination and Harassment: It is unlawful for employers to take adverse action against employees or harass them on account of their race, ethnicity, gender, sex, sexual orientation, disability, and other characteristics that are protected by law. Employers are also prohibited from treating workers differently because of their participation in protected activities. As such, you could have a claim against your employer for:

  • Discrimination;
  • Harassment on the basis of sex or other grounds that create a hostile work environment or result in a quid pro quo situation;
  • Wrongful termination;
  • Unlawful retaliation; and,
  • Many others.

Workplace Safety: Various state and federal laws require employers to make repairs, conduct inspections, and otherwise maintain a safe workplace. Violations can result in severe penalties, but you may also have grounds to take legal action as an employee.

Employee Privacy & Rights: Your right to privacy extends into the work environment, so there are restrictions on employers regarding invasion of privacy and intrusion to your private affairs.

Wage and Hour Claims: Minimum wage and overtime are the most common disputes in this category, but medical and family leave issues also tie into these claims.

Your Remedies Under California Employment Laws

Your options depend on the type of employer grievance and many other factors. In many cases, you raise employment-related misconduct by failing a claim with the DFEH, though you may qualify to go directly to court through a Right-to-Sue process. Our lawyers at the Obagi Law Group, P.C. will help you navigate the legal process, through which you may be able to recover compensation or obtain equitable relief.
