Why Workers Trust Nosrati Law

Trying to seek legal recourse against an employer is a daunting and stressful task. Many employers have extensive resources, insurance carriers, and legal teams at their disposal to challenge any employee or worker who stands up to them. Going up against them without experienced legal counsel can make the entire process feel like an even steeper hill to climb.

At Nosrati Law, we are here to help you up and overcome any obstacle in the way. Founding Attorney Omid Nosrati built this firm from personal experience as an immigrant who came to the United States at the age of six and experienced discrimination firsthand. He formed his entire career around helping others who have faced similar violations in the workplace. 

Our employment attorneys in Lancaster have gone up against some of the most recognizable employers in the country, including The Walt Disney Company, Robinhood, Trader Joe's, and Netflix, and have secured significant recoveries for employees who needed someone in their corner.

When you retain our firm, you are not handed off to a paralegal or a junior associate. You have direct access to the attorney handling your case, a fully customized legal strategy built around the facts of your situation, and a team that will not be pressured into accepting a settlement that does not meet your best interests.

How Our Employment Lawyers in Lancaster Can Help You

When you bring your case to us, you can expect the following and more from our team:

• End-to-end legal guidance: From your first consultation through the resolution of your case, our attorneys are with you at every step, such as assessing your situation, explaining your rights in plain language, developing a legal strategy, managing all filings and communications, and keeping you informed throughout the process. You will never be left to figure things out on your own.
• Fully customized legal strategies: Every employee, every job, and every workplace situation is unique. Our attorneys analyze the specific facts of your case to identify the strongest legal theories available to you and prepare a strategy designed to protect your rights.
• Skilled negotiation: A large percentage of successful employment law cases are resolved through out-of-court negotiations. Employers frequently prefer to settle rather than face the expense and reputational risk of a public trial, and we know how to use that to your advantage. Our attorneys are experienced negotiators who will not be pressured or smooth-talked into accepting an offer that falls short of what you deserve.
• Trial-ready litigation: When a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are prepared to take your case to court. Our attorneys handle all legal procedures and court filings, prepare thoroughly for hearings, and present your case.

Understanding the Laws That Protect You

One of the reasons employment law cases can become complex is the number of different state and federal laws that govern the employer-employee relationship. While your attorney will handle the legal details, a basic understanding of the key laws can help you recognize when your rights may have been violated.

Important employment-related laws that you should know include:

• The Civil Rights Act: Title VII of the landmark 1964 Civil Rights Act prohibits workplace discrimination based on race, religion, national origin, sex, and other protected characteristics. It applies specifically to hiring, promotion, termination, and other employment decisions.
• Americans with Disabilities Act: The ADA prohibits discrimination against individuals with qualifying physical or mental disabilities and requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations to ensure equal opportunities in the workplace.
• Fair Labor Standards Act: The FLSA establishes federal standards for minimum wage, overtime pay, and other fundamental compensation requirements to ensure workers are paid fairly for their work.
• California Fair Employment and Housing Act: Known as FEHA, this California law expands on federal protections and prohibits discrimination, harassment, and retaliation based on a broad range of protected characteristics. Importantly, FEHA applies to employers with five or more employees — well below the 15-employee threshold for many federal protections — making it a safeguard for employees at smaller businesses.
• California Labor Code: California's Labor Code encompasses a wide range of employee rights, from minimum wage and meal break requirements to protections against unsafe working conditions and unlawful termination. California's standards are deliberately set higher than federal law, making California workers among the most protected in the country.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to hire an employment lawyer in Lancaster?

At Nosrati Law, we handle all employment law cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no attorney's fees upfront and nothing at all unless we win a recovery for you. If we do not obtain compensation on your behalf, you owe us nothing, regardless of how much time and work we have put into your case. If we do win, our fee is taken as a percentage of the recovery.

What should I do first if I think my employer has violated my rights?

The most important first steps are to document everything and to speak with an employment attorney as soon as possible. Write down a detailed account of what happened, including dates, times, locations, what was said or done, and who was present. Preserve any relevant documents, emails, or communications you have access to. 

Then, contact our firm for a free consultation.

How do I know if my situation is serious enough to hire an attorney?

If you believe your employer has treated you unlawfully, whether through discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, unpaid wages, or retaliation for exercising your rights, your situation is worth a conversation with an attorney. 

You do not need to have a complete picture of what happened or a clear legal theory before reaching out. That is exactly what a free consultation is for. Our attorneys will listen to the facts, ask the right questions, and give you an honest assessment of whether you appear to have a viable claim and what your options are.
