We are your local
employment lawyers in the San Fernando Valley where we have
represented employees since 1993. We only represent employees
and we only do so on what is called a contingency. This means
we are only paid when and if we win your lawsuit or settle
and collect money from your employer. In order to make you
more comfortable about the law firm, we want you to know a
few things. We have been in the same San Fernando Valley

CANOGA PARK SEXUAL HARASSMENT ATTORNEYS
The Employment Lawyers Group has decades of experience in the West San Fernando Valley. We were representing employees in Canoga Park and Woodland Hills when the primary employers were aerospace. We also represented mall employees in malls along Topanga Canyon and Canoga that do not really exist anymore. We have also represented employees from the various white collar Warner Center buildings. One of our largest arbitration awards was for an employee of Wellpoint which is now Blue Shield. Understanding the people and the geography of Canoga Park and Woodland Hills matters. This is particularly true in the case of sexual harassment.
Sexual harassment is
embarrassing. There are reasons why men and women may keep
secrets about being sexually harassed at work. Members of
certain cultures may be reluctant to go to therapy after
being sexually harassed. These are all issues our sexual
harassment lawyers understand. We have helped men and women
from all sexual orientations and walks of life obtain
substantial recoveries and wins in California sexual
harassment lawsuits. Every sexual harassment lawsuit is
unique. Some cases justify larger recoveries. A few of our
case results include:
$675,000 for sexual harassment in a
warehouse
$672,500 for sexual harassment at a diner
$450,000 for sexual harassment at a North Valley gas
station
$310,000 for sexual harassment of a pizza delivery driver
$232,000 win in a binding arbitration for a Los Angeles call
center employee
$225,000 for sexual harassment by customers in a San Fernando
Valley retailer
$200,000 for sexual harassment by a San Fernando Valley
CEO
Give us a chance. Let us put forth the best foot forward in your sexual harassment lawsuit. Call 818-783-7300. We want your call, don’t be embarrassed.
WOODLAND HILLS LABOR LAWYER
Labor law involves a wide area of legal
issues that includes
unpaid wages,
breaches of employment contracts,
sexual harassment, and
discrimination at work. Another way of explaining this
is: loss of a job, sexual harassment, unpaid wages, or a work
injury. Cases involving, “I should have been promoted,” or ,
“I was demoted,” or “It was discrimination and I just know it
but there aren’t any facts or specific examples of what
happened to me,” are not the kind of cases labor attorneys
take on a contingency. Additionally, union hearings and
unemployment hearings are not handled on a contingency.
Our labor law firm is focused on there being something
discernable and damaging and then suing for it. We do not
handle cases before administrative agencies. We can advise if
it is possible to remove the case from an administrative
agency and sue in court.
Legal services are expensive. If the case cannot be taken on
a contingency, we feel it is beyond the reach of most
consumers to pay an attorney. We also question whether it is
a worthwhile effort to throw money at a workplace problem a
lawyer will not take on a contingency. There are quite a few
issues at work in which the employee might want somebody’s
advice. In some of these situations it is not necessarily
legal advice the employee seeks. Sometimes a therapist is
what is needed. At other times there is simply no legal
remedy to the problem. Generally, if an employee lawyer will
not take the case on a contingency it is not a viable case.
It may not be viable because it does not fit within the
parameters of what the court system handles. The case may
have such a slim chance of success the lawyer feels it would
be a disservice to the employee to pursue the case.
Furthermore, cases against employer may be turned down
because it would be morally improper or downright unethical
to bring the case against the employer.
The only way to find out if your workplace dispute is a real
legal violation is to call an experienced labor lawyer. An
inexperienced labor lawyer might lead you down the wrong path
which could be the pursuit of a case you will lose.
