Employment issues can often be difficult to come across, especially if there are serious obstacles to overcome such as harassment or discrimination. Fortunately, there are laws that are there to help protect employees in the workplace. It is important that you hire an attorney to help you better understand your rights and your remedies if you have been the victim of a workplace dispute.
Some individuals fail to take action against employers simply because they don’t know they’re a victim of a volatile workplace or that they have legal options. By speaking with a lawyer and discussing your situation, you can better understand what actions are illegal, what you can do to seek justice, and who is responsible. Then you can understand what you may be entitled to and what else can be done to help get you the compensation you deserve.
Keep in mind, your employer or whoever is responsible for the workplace harassment or discrimination will most likely have a strong legal team looking out for their best interests. This means you also need strong legal counsel. A lawyer will be there to present the necessary evidence and help you navigate the legal system without concern. An attorney can help you fill out the proper paperwork, meet deadlines, and work towards a favorable resolution. Our Los Angeles employee rights attorneys at Levin & Nalbandyan, LLP are committed to the rights of employees who have been the victim of workplace discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, wage and hour disputes, and more.
Our Los Angeles employment law attorneys have over a decade of experience helping protect employee rights in California. We believe that companies must be held accountable for violating state or federal laws designed to protect employees from wrongdoing. At Levin & Nalbandyan, LLP, we handle the following kinds of employment law claims:
If you believe that you were mistreated or abused at work, you might be entitled to compensation. It is important to discuss your case with a Los Angeles employment law attorney as early as possible in order to achieve the best possible outcome in your case.
A Los Angeles employment law attorney can help you get compensation if you were mistreated, harassed, or discriminated against at work. Without the help of an attorney, you may not get the recovery you deserve, despite the fact that your company violated state or federal law. Employment law is complicated and follows strict legal procedures. Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in your claim being denied or dismissed. An attorney can help ensure that you meet all statutory requirements and file the appropriate legal documents. It is important to note that you only have a limited amount of time to file, so the earlier you consult an attorney, the more likely your case will be heard.
It is never too early to consult with an attorney, but it can be too late. The earlier in the process you retain legal representation, the better. Filing a claim beyond the statute of limitations may result in your case being dismissed or may bar your right to recovery.
