Frequently Asked Questions Education for California Employees

Is it illegal or just unfair?

Many employers are harsh or unfair, but did they break the law? To win your case, we need proof of legal violations. Keep records—emails, text messages, anything that strengthens your claim—and reach out to us.

Was I wrongfully terminated/fired?

Wrongful termination occurs when an employer fires an employee for illegal reasons, such as discrimination based on protected characteristics (e.g., race, gender, age) or retaliation for reporting illegal behavior. If you suspect your termination was unlawful, contact us for a free consultation to evaluate your situation.

Read More

Can I file an employment claim after quitting my job?

Yes, as long as you’re within the statute of limitations in California, you can file an employment claim after quitting if you experienced unlawful treatment, such as harassment, discrimination, retaliation, or wage violations.

Read More

Is it important to keep all my emails and communications related to my employment?

Yes, all records can serve as critical evidence in employment legal claims. Save emails, text messages, performance reviews, and any other documentation that supports your case.

Read More

Can my past job performance affect my employment case?

Employers may use performance reviews or records to justify their actions, but strong evidence of discrimination, retaliation, or other illegal behavior can outweigh performance issues. Our employment attorneys can help evaluate your case and build a strategy to address this.

Read More

How much will an employment lawsuit cost?

The cost of an employment lawsuit varies depending on the complexity of the case, the type of claim, and whether it goes to trial or settles early. In some cases, you only pay a percentage of the amount recovered if you win. The best way to assess your case is to schedule a free consultation with one of our Los Angeles employee rights attorneys.

Can my employer retaliate against me for filing a lawsuit?

Retaliation, such as termination, demotion, harassment, or other adverse actions, is prohibited under federal and California state law. If your employer retaliates, you may have additional claims against them.

How We Fight For You

Be Treated Equally Workplace Discrimination and Retaliation

State and federal laws guarantee fair treatment for workers during their employment and a respectful termination process. Unfortunately, discrimination—whether blatant or subtle—still occurs. KSJM can help determine if illegal treatment has taken place.

Be Paid Fairly Compensation Claims

Many employers exploit workers' lack of awareness about California wage and hour laws, neglecting overtime, minimum wage, reimbursements, or misclassifying employees as contractors. We support workers in recovering what’s rightfully owed.

Know Your Rights Executive Employee Issues

Executives face high-stakes employment challenges that demand expertise and precision. From protecting contractual rights and resolving compensation disputes to addressing equity and non-compete issues, we provide strategic solutions to safeguard your future.
