We Stood Up for Your Rights.
It is illegal for an employer to punish you for asserting your rights—whether that means complaining about unpaid wages, reporting harassment, or asking for a legal accommodation. If your employer "suddenly" demoted you, cut your hours, or fired you after you spoke up, that is illegal retaliation. We are here to hold them accountable.
When an employer realizes they have violated the law, their first instinct is often to silence the person who found out. Retaliation is the company’s attempt to punish you for being a "problem" or a "troublemaker." But in California, reporting illegal conduct is a protected activity. You don't have to be a victim of a power play. We know how to expose these retaliatory tactics and secure the damages you deserve. It’s time to level the playing field.
Being stripped of your title, responsibilities, or authority shortly after you raised a complaint or engaged in protected activity.
Being moved to a undesirable shift, isolated from your team, or given impossible tasks to make you want to quit.
Getting a "sudden" negative performance review or write-up out of nowhere after years of positive feedback.
Being excluded from meetings, communications, or opportunities that are essential to your job success after you "spoke up."
Having your pay cut, your hours slashed, or your benefits stripped as a direct response to your protected activity.
The most severe form of retaliation: firing you because you had the courage to report illegal workplace conduct.
Employers count on the "chilling effect"—they punish one worker to scare the others into staying silent. We break that cycle. We analyze the timing and the pretext of the employer's actions to prove that their "business decision" was actually a retaliatory attack. When we take a case, we aim to make the company wish they had just followed the law in the first place.
There is nothing more courageous than standing up for your rights at work. Our job is to ensure that your courage is rewarded, and your employer’s retaliation is punished.” — Avi Gholian, Founding Attorney
