THE IMPACT FIRM

It is illegal for an employer to punish you for reporting misconduct or exercising your workplace rights. We represent employees who were demoted, disciplined, or terminated in retaliation.
Example: After complaining to HR about misconduct, your employer cut your hours or fired you.

California law prohibits discrimination based on protected characteristics such as race, gender, age, pregnancy, and disability. We help employees challenge unlawful treatment and seek justice.
Example: You were denied promotions or treated worse because of your age, gender, or medical condition.

A workplace becomes illegal when harassment is severe or pervasive enough to interfere with your ability to work. We help employees stop hostile work environments and pursue legal remedies.
Example: You experienced ongoing harassment that management knew about but failed to stop.

Employees are entitled to proper pay for all hours worked, including overtime and minimum wages. We represent workers seeking unpaid compensation and penalties under California law.
Example: You regularly worked overtime but were not paid time-and-a-half.

California law requires employers to provide compliant meal and rest breaks. When employers fail to do so, employees may be entitled to penalties and back pay.
Example: You were required to work through lunch or discouraged from taking breaks.

You have the right to take protected medical or family leave without punishment. We represent employees who were disciplined or terminated for using FMLA or CFRA leave.
Example: You were fired or demoted after taking approved medical or family leave.
