Common Questions About Employment Law in California

  • What is a PAGA claim?

    The Private Attorneys General Act allows employees to sue for labor violations on behalf of themselves and coworkers.

  • Can I join a class action against my employer?

    Yes. If many workers were affected by the same violation, class actions are often the best path.

  • Do I need to file with the EEOC before suing?

    For discrimination claims, you typically need to file with the EEOC or California’s DFEH before proceeding. We handle that process.

  • What damages can I recover in an employment case?

    Unpaid wages, penalties, emotional distress, and in some cases, punitive damages.

  • What does it cost to hire your firm?

    We often handle employment law cases on contingency — meaning no upfront fees, and we only get paid if we recover compensation.
