How an Orange County Employment Law Firm Can Help
The specific ways in which a California employment lawyer will assist in your case can vary depending on several factors. In general, though, an employment attorney may provide assistance through:
- Advising on employee rights: An employment attorney can advise employees on their rights under California state and federal laws. This includes laws related to discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wage and hour issues, and more.
- Filing complaints: An employment attorney can assist employees in filing complaints with state and federal agencies, such as the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
- Negotiating settlements: An employment attorney can negotiate settlements on behalf of employees who have been wrongfully terminated, harassed, or discriminated against.
- Representation in court: An employment attorney can represent employees in court if their case goes to trial. They can present evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and make legal arguments on the employee’s behalf.
- Handling appeals: If an employee’s case is not resolved in their favor, an employment attorney can help them file an appeal and represent them in any subsequent hearings.
- Advising on contract issues: An employment attorney can advise employees on issues related to their employment contracts, such as non-compete clauses, severability, and arbitration agreements.
- Advising on retaliation: An employment attorney can advise employees on retaliation laws, which protect employees from retaliation for reporting discrimination or harassment, or for participating in an investigation.
