How California protects workers

California gives employees broader protections than almost any other state. The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA, Government Code section 12940 et seq.) goes further than federal Title VII on harassment, discrimination, and retaliation. The Labor Code sets the floor for wages, breaks, and reporting. Government Code section 12923 (SB 1300) recognizes that a single severe incident can support a hostile-environment claim. SB 497 created a 90-day rebuttable presumption that an adverse action within 90 days of a protected complaint was retaliatory.

"If you experienced something wrong at work, California law probably has a name for it — and a remedy."

What to expect when you call

The first call is a confidential conversation with a California employment lawyer. We'll ask what happened, when, who else was involved, and what evidence you already have. We'll tell you which laws may apply, what deadlines you're facing (FEHA, the Government Claims Act, statute of limitations), and what damages you may be entitled to recover. No fee. No obligation.

If we take your case, we work on contingency — you pay nothing unless we recover for you. Costs (filing fees, depositions, expert witnesses) are advanced by the firm and reimbursed only out of recovery.
