Huntington Beach Employment Attorneys

When You Need to Take Legal Action Against Your Employer, Call Us

Employees in California are afforded significant rights and protections under both state and federal law that are meant to protect them from being treated unlawfully by their employer in matters involving wages, working hours, discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, and more. If you believe your employer has violated your rights in Huntington Beach or anywhere in Orange County, you should explore your legal options with our employment lawyers at Nosrati Law.

Employment law cases are time-sensitive. California law imposes strict statutes of limitations on employment claims, meaning that waiting too long to seek legal help can result in losing your right to pursue compensation entirely. 

The type of claim you have will determine the specific deadline that applies to your situation, but in virtually every case, it makes sense to reach out to an employment attorney at your first opportunity. If something has happened at work that violated your rights or made you feel your rights were violated, but you’re not sure, do not wait to get answers.

Why do so many local employees choose our firm for legal help?

• Exclusive employee-side representation
• 40+ years of combined practice experience
• Tens of millions of dollars recovered for employees
• Over 100 five-star Google reviews from clients across California

Employment Cases We Handle in Huntington Beach

California has some of the strongest employee protections in the country, but that means they can get very complicated very quickly. Navigating the laws that apply to your situation is a challenge, especially when you are already dealing with the stress of a workplace dispute. 

That is where we come in. 

At Nosrati Law, our attorneys have spent decades working exclusively within California employment law, and we are here to help you understand what rights you have, which laws apply to your situation, and what your legal options are.

We handle all types of employment matters in Huntington Beach, including:

• Workplace Discrimination
• Wrongful Termination
• Sexual Harassment
• Retaliation
• Hostile Work Environment
• Wage and Hour Disputes
• Whistleblower Protection
• FMLA and Medical Leave

In many of these areas, California law goes significantly further than federal law by providing broader protections and applying to smaller employers than federal statutes require. Understanding how those protections apply to your specific circumstances is something our attorneys can walk you through during a free consultation, with no obligation to move forward.

Filing an Employment Claim

An experienced employment law attorney from our firm can determine which agency should receive your claim based on the type of employment violations that have been used to harm you. We can manage all required filings on your behalf, answer follow-up questions, and more.

• For wage-related claims, employees can file with the California Labor Commissioner's Office.
• For discrimination, harassment, and retaliation claims, filings may need to be made with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the California Civil Rights Department (CRD) before a civil lawsuit can proceed.

Let us figure out which office is the right one for your case. We would be happy to handle all these steps for you, so that nothing falls through the cracks and no deadline is missed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an employer fire you for making an employment claim?

It is unlawful for an employer to terminate you solely because you filed an employment claim or initiated legal action against them. Taking legal action against your employer is a protected activity, meaning you have the right to do so without fear of losing your job as a direct consequence. 

That said, at-will employment means employers can still terminate employees for legitimate, separate reasons. If you believe you have been fired in retaliation for filing a claim, that retaliation itself may be grounds for an additional legal claim, so you should let us know right away.

What are the typical fees for an employment lawyer?

At Nosrati Law, we handle all employment law cases on a contingency fee basis, so you pay no attorney's fees upfront and owe nothing unless we win a recovery for you. If we do not obtain compensation on your behalf, you pay us nothing. If we do win, our fee is taken as a percentage of the recovery rather than from your personal funds.

What should I bring to my first consultation?

You do not need to have everything organized before your first consultation. However, bringing whatever documentation you have access to can help us give you a more complete assessment of your situation. 

Useful items to bring include any written communications between you and your employer, such as emails or text messages; performance reviews or disciplinary notices; a termination letter if applicable; your employment contract or employee handbook if you have a copy; and a written account of what happened, including dates, times, and names of anyone involved. If you do not have any of these, don’t worry; a conversation about the facts of your situation is often enough to get started.
