Lancaster Employment Lawyer

Here are a few of the ways a Lancaster employment attorney can prove useful to an employee with a legal concern:

1. Legal advice and end-to-end guidance – Our Lancaster employment lawyers possess comprehensive knowledge of all relevant federal and state employment laws, ensuring that you can be fully aware of your rights as a working Californian. A good lawyer is available to help you at every step: assessing your situation, filing the initial claim, explaining all the legal implications and possible outcomes in plain language, collaborating effectively to create a great legal strategy, and even fighting aggressively for your rights in a court of law if necessary. Whether you are dealing with wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, wage theft, or some other matter related to your employment, the team at Nosrati Law, A Professional Law Corporation, is ready to guide you through even the most complex legal processes.
2. Fully customized legal strategies – A quality employment attorney understands that every employee, every job, and every workplace situation is unique. The Lancaster employment lawyers at Nosrati Law, A Professional Law Corporation, excel at evaluating the merits of employment claims and analyzing every detail to build the most effective legal strategy for each unique situation. Drawing on our wealth of positive experience in employment cases, we can determine the viability of the various legal options available to you, then develop a totally customized approach to your case to maximize your chances of an eventual settlement or judgment in your favor. Using a highly collaborative and responsive approach to employment law, we can work closely with you to gather evidence, find witnesses, and build a compelling case.
3. Negotiations – Not every employment law case is settled in front of a judge at a dramatic trial. In fact, a large percentage of employee/employer legal issues are settled through out-of-court negotiations. Employers often do not want the bad press involved in high-profile legal cases and prefer to come to an agreement that keeps matters out of the public eye. Court trials can often become very expensive for everyone involved, which is another reason some employers will prefer to settle rather than go to trial. All this can be used to the advantage of a wronged employee, so long as the correct legal strategies are leveraged during negotiations. Effectively negotiating with employers, insurance agents, or corporate lawyers requires experience and an extremely specific skill set. The Lancaster employment law team at Nosrati Law, A Professional Law Corporation, is adept at representing your interests during settlement negotiations and other out-of-court discussions. We will not be bullied, pressured, or smooth-talked into accepting an insufficient settlement offer that does not meet your needs.
4. Litigation and in-court representation – In cases where a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are prepared to act as your steadfast advocates in a court of law. Nosrati Law, A Professional Law Corporation, can handle all legal procedures, document filings, and other details of the case while also preparing to represent you during hearings. Our comprehensive understanding of employment law and the California court system can be leveraged to its fullest extent in an effort to present your case as persuasively as possible, whether by making statements before the judge or thoroughly cross-examining witnesses brought by other parties.

Employment Law Firm FAQs

Q: How Much Do Employment Lawyers Charge in California?

A: As with any other type of legal services, the cost of an employment attorney in California is going to vary greatly depending on several factors. Some of these factors include the quality of the attorney, the city where the lawyer practices, and the type and extent of legal services you’re seeking. Your lawyer’s billing structure can also affect the cost. Most attorneys work on an hourly fee, while others, in certain types of cases, work without an upfront fee and instead take a percentage of your eventual settlement or judgment. Make sure you understand a law firm’s rates and billing policies before agreeing to hire them.

Q: Can You Sue Your Employer in California?

A: There are special rules governing employee-employer legal relations in California. Due to the state’s no-fault workers’ compensation system, for example, an employee cannot actually sue their employer directly for an injury sustained on the job. Instead, a workers’ compensation claim is filed through the appropriate system, usually resulting in a claim being paid out on an expedited timeline when compared to a full court case. For other employment-related issues, however, it may indeed be appropriate, even necessary, to sue an employer.

Q: What Are My Employee Rights in California?

A: As a working person in California, you have many rights and protections under United States and California law. Additionally, you are protected from retaliation by your employer for asserting your legal rights. Consulting with an employment lawyer can help you learn about some specific employment laws and the rights they bestow upon you.

Q: What Is Wrongful Termination in California?

A: In California, the labor violation known as “wrongful termination” occurs any time an employer fires one of their employees for an unlawful reason. Some real-world examples of unlawfully ending someone’s termination would be firing them for their race or gender or in retaliation for complaining about unsafe work conditions. Oftentimes, unscrupulous employers will go to great lengths to obscure their true motivations for firing an inconvenient employee, so a great deal of evidence can be necessary to successfully pursue a wrongful termination claim. The team at Nosrati Law, A Professional Law Corporation, can help you better understand what does and does not constitute wrongful termination.
