The Employment Lawyers Group are the right employee rights law firm for California labor law violations, and here is why. We have been representing workers since 1993. Few employee lawyers, or firms for workers have existed that long. We must be doing something right. Second, we are only staffed with experienced employment attorneys capable of actually trying your case in court or binding arbitration. We are not afraid of judges or opposing counsel. We have gone up against the largest employers in California and the largest law firms. Third, we have handled all types of labor cases for all different types of workers, in many different industries. We understand the workforce, human resource's limitations, and how most job positions work which matters in determining the relevancy of discipline and other issues. Fourth, we have obtained significant recovery for 2,000 different employees. All cases are taken on a contingency, and are contingency fee is 20% lower than most other law firms. If you need more reasons, call (951) 367-1000 and find out.
Labor law violations include:
. Cases for unpaid wages (bonus pay, commission pay, double time, fake AWS work weeks, meal breaks, minimum wage, overtime, PAGA penalties, prevailing wage, rest breaks)
. Wrongful termination due to medical conditions, age, ethnicity, whistleblowing
. Breach of employment contracts
. Work accidents
As real labor lawyers, we represent large groups of similarly aggrieved employees. We have handled groups of employees of more than 30 actual plaintiffs, class actions, PAGA actions, and have tried cases for very large groups of employees. Group representation is not limited to wage and hour cases. We have had multiple sexual harassment cases involving large groups, a sex discrimination lawsuit, age discrimination cases, and more.
