Employment Law FAQ — Los Angeles

We represent clients in complex litigation throughout California in four areas: employment law, business litigation, insurance coverage and bad faith, and serious and catastrophic personal injury.

Both, in different ways. We represent employees who have been wrongfully terminated, harassed, retaliated against, discriminated against, or denied their lawful wages. We also advise employers on risk mitigation, compliance, workplace policies, employee classification, and internal investigations — helping prevent disputes before they arise.

Every case is evaluated as if it may go to trial, even when early resolution is possible. We focus on building leverage early and developing a strong factual record. If a fair resolution aligns with your goals, we pursue it efficiently; if not, we are prepared to litigate. That mindset strengthens your position from day one.

• Listen carefully to the facts of your situation
• Identify potential legal claims under California law
• Explain your rights, risks, and available remedies
• Discuss strategy, timing, and leverage
• Answer your questions directly and honestly

You do not need everything to get started — do not let gathering documents delay your call. If you have them, it helps to bring what tells the story: emails and messages, contracts or offer letters, performance reviews, pay stubs and schedules, insurance policies and claim letters, or medical records, depending on your matter.

The consultation itself is free. Fee arrangements are discussed with you during the consultation, before you decide anything.

As soon as you can. Evidence disappears, deadlines approach quickly, and opposing parties or insurance companies begin building their defense immediately. Early legal intervention can make the difference between a strong case and a compromised one.

Possibly. California is an at-will employment state, but that does not give employers unlimited discretion. Employers may not fire employees for illegal motives such as discrimination, retaliation, refusing to participate in unlawful conduct, or reasons that violate public policy.

Yes, and they are strict. Depending on the claim, you may need to file with a government agency before going to court, and some deadlines can be as short as one year. Delay can permanently bar a claim, so prompt legal evaluation matters.

Both. We represent businesses, executives, entrepreneurs, partners, and shareholders as plaintiffs and defendants. Many disputes are resolved through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration — we evaluate all options while preparing for trial if necessary. See our business litigation practice.

No. We represent policyholders only. If your insurer denied, delayed, or underpaid a valid claim, you may have the right to take legal action to recover the coverage owed and damages caused by the insurer's bad faith. Learn more about our insurance coverage practice.

For most personal injury claims in California, you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. Claims against government entities can have much shorter deadlines — sometimes as little as six months. Acting quickly preserves your rights. See our personal injury practice.
