For qualifying and substantiated cases, a job lawyer will be able to use his or her knowledge of the complex and constantly-evolving employment laws in order to advocate for you in ways you would likely never be able to advocate for yourself. You may be unsure if your employer is in violation of public policy (in violation of statutes effecting society at large), and are hesitantly seeking a lawyer. For work-related issues, securing the representation of a job lawyer, and being able to provide documentation of your claims, is often crucial for having a successful outcome in negotiations and litigations. However, our experienced job lawyers are adept in proving employee lawsuits based upon oral testimony while impeaching the employer's witnesses. Common cases against an employer requiring a job lawyer may involve: wrongful termination, discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation, work-related injuries or illnesses, unpaid wages, [denial of medical or family leave](https://employeelawca.com/job-termination-family-medical-leave/), and breach of contract. - Have you have recently been terminated from your place of employment and are concerned it was wrongful? - Were you retaliated against or terminated for reporting illegal activity your employer was involved in? - Were you terminated after being injured at work, or after filing a workers' compensation claim? - Were you terminated outside of the boundaries of a written or implied contract with your employer? The process of finding a work attorney, or even deciding if you need one, can be understandingly daunting and intimidating. If any of the above questions are applicable to a situation you are currently facing, feel free to contact a work lawyer immediately. ### ***CONTACT OUR WORK ATTORNEYS AT [(323) 525-1600](tel:3235251600)*** - Are you being harassed at work due to your age, sex, sexual orientation, disability, nation of origin, or religion? - Have you been the [victim of sexual harassment at work](https://employeelawca.com/sexual-harassment/)?
