Sacramento Employment Attorney

Companies do not start businesses because they want to end up in litigation. Likewise, people do not take jobs in hopes of getting fired and bogged down in a court case for years. But if you are searching for a Sacramento employment attorney and have found this page, something has gone wrong.

Maybe you are an employee, and you have been subjected to unwanted sexual advances from your boss. Or you have encountered consistent, pervasive comments about your race, your gender, or your sexuality. Maybe you reported wrongdoing at the company and, ever since, it seems like those around you are looking to find fault in your work more than usual.

Or, perhaps, you run a small business and the new hire has decided you are an easy mark. They think they can make unreasonable demands of you that significantly interfere with your business operations, and they act as though you are powerless to stop them. Lawsuits are expensive and scary, and you did not start your business because you knew a lot about employment litigation.

A Sacramento employment attorney can help. Workplaces are complicated, high-stress environments. Our firm can help find a fair solution to your problem.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Whether you are an employee or an employer, we will discuss representing you at no charge.

If someone is an 'at will' employee, they can be fired for any lawful reason. Both Federal and State law place restrictions on the reasons and means by which an employee may be terminated. Some of these restrictions can be complex, such as rules surrounding notices for layoffs. Some are more obvious, like firing someone because of their race.

Here, the stereotypical attorney answer applies: It depends. In some healthy organizations, the HR department is a valuable resource both for managing employee benefits and perks but also for addressing liabilities the company may face. Beyond a certain size, it is impossible for owners of a company to know everything that goes on between managers and employees, or between the employees themselves. In such healthy organizations, reporting an issue to HR may lead to the company taking appropriate action. In other organizations, the opposite may happen. Your issue might be with HR or HR may have a strategy to try to undermine and discredit you in advance. Our best advice, frankly, would be to call us first.
