Fremont Employment Lawyer

Employment Law Attorney in Fremont, CA

Every California worker has rights protected by both state and federal law. Unfortunately, employers may violate those rights in various ways, and if this happens to you, it is vital to hire an employment lawyer at your first opportunity. Confronting your employer in a legal dispute is daunting. They are likely to have the resources for an in-house legal team or experienced outside counsel. Hiring a Fremont employment lawyer levels the playing field. 

The team at Valerian Law has extensive experience handling a variety of complex employment cases for clients in Fremont and the surrounding communities of California: 

• We regularly handle all types of employment discrimination cases. No employer may make job-related decisions on the basis of protected personal characteristics such as age, sex, gender, religion, or medical status. During fiscal year 2024, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) reported 5,099 cases of discrimination throughout California. 
• Our firm can help you resolve a workplace harassment claim in Fremont. Harassment can include any behavior that interferes with the victim’s ability to perform their job duties or creates a hostile work environment. 
• Sexual harassment is one of the most commonly reported forms of workplace harassment in California and can include quid pro quo, unwelcome sexual advances, or even sexual assault in the workplace. Between fiscal years 2018 and 2021, the EEOC received 27,291 reports of sexual harassment in US workplaces. 
• We can help you resolve wage and hour disputes. If your employer has failed to pay you correctly, we can assist you with claiming lost income. We have successfully resolved California minimum wage disputes, overtime disputes, rest and meal break cases, and cases involving unlawful deductions from employee checks. 
• If an employer fails to provide a reasonable accommodation for a disability, it can lead to an employment suit under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). A reasonable accommodation can be any adjustment to the employee’s work environment or job duties that ensures they can perform those duties but does not create an undue hardship for the employer.
• We provide robust legal counsel for retaliation cases. Whether you filed a whistleblower report to expose illegal activity at work, filed a complaint to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for unsafe working conditions, or filed a harassment complaint internally in good faith, if your employer retaliated against any legally protected action, we could help you address this.
• California upholds an at-will employment law, but this does not allow an employer to fire an employee for an illegal or discriminatory reason. If you believe your recent firing was wrongful, it is crucial to hire an employment lawyer at your first opportunity who can determine whether you have grounds to file a wrongful termination case.

These are only a few examples of the types of employment cases we accept in Fremont, CA. Depending on the details of your case, you may need to file a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department (CRD) and/or the EEOC before proceeding with a civil suit against your employer. 

Trust us to provide detailed guidance and responsive communication throughout your legal proceedings. You have limited time to build and file your case, and we’re confident we can help you reach a positive conclusion.
