Employment law litigation encompasses a wide range of issues and circumstances generally classified as workplace wrongs. The most common example is an employee who believes he or she has been wrongfully terminated from his or her job. Other examples include an employer discriminating against an employee based on that employee’s race, gender, age, and/or physical disability. Employment law cases also involve instances of employer harassment of employees; especially concerning the sensitive issue of workplace sexual harassment. Cases involving wage and hour and salary disputes are also a burgeoning area of employment law. 

Because of the complex nature of the employment law in California, affecting various State and Federal statutes and rules (Such as the Americans With Disabilities Act - ADA and EEOC regulatory compliance issues) and an ever changing interpretation of these laws by the California and Federal appellate courts, an employee who believes he or she has been wronged by his or her employer must promptly obtain competent legal advice and guidance.
