Committed To Employee Rights
Most American adults spend the majority of their waking hours at work. The workplace is also where many of America’s social problems play out. Outdated stereotypes and discriminatory attitudes continue to negatively impact many American workers. When discrimination or harassment occurs at the workplace, it can have severe consequences on income and the attainment of personal and professional goals.
The laws of the United States and California recognize that there is no place for discrimination in the workplace. But the laws have no meaning unless they are enforced. Standing up against one’s employer and coworkers requires tremendous courage. You see your coworkers every day, and depend on your employer for the basic necessities of life. Sometimes employers use the employment relationship to their advantage, particularly in difficult economic times, believing that employees will submit to illegal wage practices and improper treatment in the workplace.
At the California Legal Team, we understand the courage it takes to stand up against your employer. We are passionate about employee rights, and will stand with you in the face of improper employment practices. We have the experience to advise you at the outset of your claim, and the resources to see your case through to a successful result, making the California Legal Team the firm to call at any stage of your employment dispute.
Unparalleled Trial Experience
When you bring your potential claim to the California Legal Team, you are consulting with trial lawyers who are experienced in trying employment law cases in court. Amidst state budget shortfalls and a perception of overcrowded courts, modern laws encourage settlement and resolving cases before trial. As a result, many lawyers today have little trial experience.
The attorneys at the California Legal Team have collectively tried over 100 cases to verdict. Few – if any – law firms representing employees have such extensive trial experience. This experience is highly beneficial to our clients. We understand the facts that count, because we have previously presented similar claims to a jury. We can competently advise you of your chances for success and the value of your case, because we have seen firsthand how jurors respond to cases similar to yours. We understand how to develop a theme and story of your case that will elicit a positive response from jurors, because we have presented similar themes to juries in the past. Our experience means that we know what it takes to achieve the best results for you.
There are additional benefits that only experience can bring. Employers and their attorneys know that we are unafraid to take complex or difficult claims to trial. This helps our clients during negotiations, providing added leverage when negotiating a settlement. We have appeared in courts throughout Southern California, giving us familiarity with judges and juries in the area. We have worked with experts in economics and other areas to present a full picture of liability and damages issues. Our experience is an asset for each of our clients.
A Record Of Success
Our attorneys have obtained numerous million dollar and six-figure verdicts and settlements for our clients. Our attorneys lecture other attorneys on trial tactics and employment law issues, and are often called in on the eve of trial to take over a case. We publish a legal blog as a resource for other attorneys and the public, and are active in legal organizations that support plaintiffs in employment cases. Our track record of success and our extensive experience makes the California Legal Team the firm to call on with your employment concerns.
