We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no attorney’s fees unless we recover money for you. Our fee comes as a percentage of your recovery – if we don’t win, you owe us nothing in fees. While we advance all costs on your behalf, in the rare circumstance where a case does not result in a recovery, costs may be owed, but, in practice this virtually never happens. This means that regardless of your financial situation, you can have an experienced employment lawyer fighting for you from day one. 

This is exactly what your free consultation is for. California has some of the strongest employee protection laws in the country, but the line between what is unfair and what is illegal is not always obvious. Not every difficult workplace situation rises to the level of a legal claim, but many do. If you were fired, demoted, harassed, or treated differently at work and something felt wrong, call us for a free consultation. There is no obligation, and the worst that can happen is you leave with a clearer picture of where you stand.

Every case is different, but most employment law cases in California resolve within one to three years. It is worth noting that the vast majority of employment cases settle before ever reaching trial, meaning most of our clients never have to step foot in a courtroom. Cases that settle early in the process can resolve in a matter of months, while cases that proceed to trial naturally take longer. The timeline depends on many factors including the complexity of your case, the willingness of your former employer to negotiate in good faith, and court availability. We always work to resolve cases as efficiently as possible and will never pressure you into a quick settlement that does not fairly compensate you for what you have been through. Our goal is the best possible outcome for you, not the fastest one.
