Employment Law

Employment law comprises statutes regulating the relationships between employers and employees. Employment laws include wage and hour regulations, employment harassment, discrimination and wrongful termination based on age, gender, religion, race, national origin, disability, medical condition, whistleblowers, wrongful termination in violation of public policy, blackballing, and breach of an employment contract.

Elder Abuse

People with power over an older person’s care or financial affairs can abuse them through neglect, physical abuse, and various forms of theft. This type of misconduct or neglect is elder abuse and can violate California laws protecting the elderly and others unable to care for themselves. Other forms of elder abuse include abandonment, nursing home negligence, sexual, psychological, and emotional abuse, and financial abuse. These claims are expensive to litigate and can take an enormous toll on the parties.

Caregiver Wage Theft Claims

Caregivers work in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and private residences. These workers may seek unpaid wages and overtime from employers who they believe ignore overtime laws. 

Personal Injury

Claims for personal injuries involve injury to someone’s body, emotions, or reputation. These lawsuits typically arise from vehicular and workplace accidents, slip and falls, assault and battery, medical malpractice, and nursing home abuse. These types of cases also can involve injury to the psyche or reputation, including intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress, slander, libel, defamation, invasion of privacy, false imprisonment, and malicious prosecution. 

Professional Malpractice

Lawsuits involving professionals of all kinds tend to be protracted and quite expensive to bring to trial because reputations are at stake, and damage claims can be substantial. These lawsuits share a common allegation that a professional’s service or conduct fell below a certain standard of care that caused injury to the plaintiff. They include malpractice claims against healthcare and mental health providers, pharmacists, accountants, lawyers, architects, and engineers, among others.

Commercial Disputes 

Business litigation, often called commercial litigation, involves various claims. These include breach of contract, real estate litigation, fraud, misrepresentation and conversion, breach of fiduciary duty, partnership and shareholder disputes, and tortious interference with contracts or business relationships, among others.
