SANTA MONICA JOB LAWYER

Has wrongful termination, or sexual harassment towards you caused you to be unemployed? Since 1993 the Employment Lawyers Group has represented Los Angeles employees in cases of wrongful termination, sexual harassment, and unpaid wages. Santa Monica has a wide variety of residents and employers. Some of our local clients have included a human resource executive employed by a hotel management company who was sexually harassed. We represented a computer programer who was displaced by the Palisades fires and moved to Venice, California.  We have represented a hospital executive, nurses, dog groomers, restaurant workers, bank tellers, mortgage brokers, grocery store workers, and all sorts of employees in the Santa Monica area.

We even have pictures of jumping dolphins off the coast of Santa Monica. The above picture was taken during whale watching season, but that is all we found on a Cub Scout cruise out of Marina Del Rey. It's a dolphin. On a serious level, if you are looking for very experienced employment lawyers to sue an employer on a contingency you need to give us a chance. (323) 525-1600

Our employment attorneys handle job discrimination cases if the employee has been fired due to medical conditions (FMLA), pregnancy, cancer, or disability. Sexual harassment may also involve gender based discrimination or harassment.  Employees who have not yet been fired may have an acceptable contingency case if they were sexually harassed, or feel they are being forced to quit. Claims about not being promoted, or not hired are generally not the kind of cases employee lawyers can take on a contingency. The Employment Lawyers Group is a litigation and trial law firm. They do not get involved in pre-settlement negotiations. If a severance agreement has been offered, they may take the case if they feel it is realistic to achieve better results in litigation.

While many employee attorneys are taking 50% attorney fees when they take cases on a contingency, the Employment Lawyers Group does not charge 50%. Nor will the Employment Lawyers Group get involved in representing an employee who is supposed to pay an hourly attorney fee. Either the case has merit and a reasonable chance of success, or it should not be brought in their opinion. These days a lot of law firms take cases for settlement only purposes. It is unlikely a case against an employer will settle prior to a lawsuit being filed. If there is going to be an early settlement after the lawsuit is filed, there needs to be enough investigation of the claims to recommend the settlement. Sometimes it is better to perpetuate the evidence and/or flesh out legal arguments before engaging in settlement negotiations.

The Employment Lawyers Group handles cases throughout Southern California. For clients who are not in the 310 or 424 areacodes, the Employment Lawyers Group has offices in Sherman Oaks, Oxnard, Riverside and Bakersfield.
