CALL (909) 663-2100 TO FIND OUT IF YOU CAN SUE YOUR COMPANY
The above four categories relate to the ultimate harm suffered by the employee. Within these categories there are some sub-categories by subject matter, but not type of harm suffered. For example, there are some circumstances in which harassment based upon another protected characteristic might be a case such as disability harassment, medical condition harassment, or pregnancy harassment. Additionally, categories such as lost wages encompass breaches of contract for bonuses, commissions, stock options, or missed meal breaks, overtime, prevailing wage, paystub errors, and rest breaks. I got into a fight with somebody at work and was wrongfully blamed for starting it, I don’t like the review I got, or my manager is giving me a hard time are not cases. I have a great case for sexual harassment or unpaid wages but I am afraid to tell anybody and certainly won’t sue is not a case that will ever be brought. But it should. Bring the good cases, call (909) 663-2100 for an experienced employee lawyer.
LABOR LAWYER ATTORNEY
We are not stuffy lawyers sitting in a high-rise office building. Our business are employees from all walks of life. Although Firm Founder, Karl Gerber’s opponent accused him of resorting to obscure slang explaining the difference between boojey, booje, and booshi in analyzing the employer’s conduct he won his clients $400,000. Unless you want to be represented by a boojey law firm, you better call (909) 663-2100 FOR A KICK ASS LABOR LAWYER.
LAWYER FOR WORK ISSUES
Lawyers for work issues only get involved if somebody has lost their job, been harassed due to a protected characteristic, suffered a work injury, or are owed more than a few thousand dollars in wages (in the event of a class action a few thousand owed by many people might be a case). Not all work issues are illegal. Many work issues do not have remedies in court. This means there is nothing an employment lawyer can do about many workplace situations. Employment lawyers are generally not in the business of communicating with employers about how they should act. A lawyer should only threaten actions that can be resolved in a court, administrative agency, or through arbitration.
