Santa Clarita Employment Lawyers

Employment Law Attorneys Helping Workers in SCV

Employment laws protect the legal rights of employees, but nothing can guarantee that an employer will actually respect and follow those laws. When conflicts arise and employers take advantage of the vulnerability of employees, it is only right that those workers explore their legal options with trusted legal professionals.

In Santa Clarita, Nosrati Law is that trusted name in employment law representation that focuses exclusively on protecting workers and employees. Our firm was founded on the belief that every worker deserves a fair chance to tell their side of the story, and we have spent more than two decades making that a reality for countless clients. 

We have recovered tens of millions of dollars for employees, earned over 100 five-star Google reviews from clients across the state, and assembled a team with 40+ years of combined experience. We also serve clients in English, Spanish, and Farsi, because we believe a language barrier should never stand between an employee and the representation they deserve.

Why Workers in SCV Trust Nosrati Law

Not all employment law firms are the same, and in a field where the outcome of your case can change the direction of your career and your life, the difference matters. At Nosrati Law, we only represent employees. We have never represented an employer and never will, which means every strategy we develop, every negotiation we conduct, and every case we take to trial is built entirely around the interests of the worker on our side of the table.

Founding Attorney Omid Nosrati founded this firm from personal experience. As an immigrant who came to the United States at the age of six, he experienced discrimination firsthand on his path to building a career. That experience is a direct reason why he chose employment law, and our team approaches every case with a level of commitment that goes beyond the professional. 

Our attorneys have gone up against some of the largest and 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 to fight in their corner.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have an employment law case?

If you believe your employer has treated you unfairly in a way that may have violated California or federal law, whether through termination, harassment, discrimination, unpaid wages, or retaliation for exercising your rights, you may have a case. 

To find out, speak with an experienced employment law attorney who can review the specific facts of your situation. At Nosrati Law, we offer free consultations for this exact reason. You do not need to have everything figured out before you call — that is what the consultation is for.

What does a free consultation with Nosrati Law involve?

When you contact us for a free consultation, you will speak directly with a member of our legal team. We will listen to what happened, ask clarifying questions, and give you an honest, straightforward assessment of whether you appear to have a viable claim, what your legal options are, and what the next steps would look like if you choose to move forward. 

There is no cost, no pressure, and no obligation.

How long does an employment law case typically take to resolve?

The timeline varies considerably depending on the type of employment law claim, the complexity of the case, and whether it resolves through a settlement or goes to trial. Some cases resolve within several months through negotiated settlements. Others, particularly those involving litigation, can take a year or more. 

During your consultation, our attorneys can give you an idea of how long we think your case could take based on the facts of your situation. Of course, we or any other law firm can’t make any promises. What we can tell you is that we work efficiently and keep you informed throughout the process, so you are never left wondering where things stand.

What if I am afraid my employer will retaliate against me for filing a claim?

California and federal law both prohibit employers from retaliating against employees for asserting their legal rights, including filing a discrimination complaint, reporting harassment, or contacting an attorney about an employment-related concern. If your employer does retaliate against you after you take legal action, that retaliation itself can become an additional legal claim. Our attorneys can advise you on how to protect yourself before, during, and after the process of filing a claim.

What does it cost to hire an employment lawyer in Santa Clarita?

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

For employees who have already suffered financially due to an employer's unlawful conduct, this arrangement removes the financial barrier that could otherwise prevent them from pursuing justice.
