Employment Law Attorney in Los Angeles

At the Law Offices of Jacob Emrani, we believe every worker in California deserves a safe, fair, and equitable workplace. When employers violate state or federal labor laws, employees often feel powerless against corporate resources. Our experienced Los Angeles employment law attorneys stand up for workers’ rights, holding negligent or malicious employers accountable and fighting for the full compensation and justice you deserve.

Whether you have been wrongfully terminated, subjected to workplace harassment, denied fair wages, or discriminated against because of your identity or background, our legal team is ready to step in.

Comprehensive Employment Law Representation

California has some of the strongest employee protection laws in the nation, including the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), the California Labor Code, and the California Family Rights Act (CFRA). However, navigating complex employment laws requires skilled legal guidance.

Our employment law practice covers a wide spectrum of workplace claims:

Wrongful Termination

California is an “at-will” employment state, but employers cannot terminate employees for illegal reasons. If you were fired in retaliation for reporting illegal conduct, exercising your statutory rights, or because of discrimination, you may have a wrongful termination claim.

Sexual Harassment

No employee should have to endure unwanted sexual advances, offensive comments, or a hostile work environment to earn a living. We fight aggressively against both quid pro quo harassment and hostile work environment harassment.

Wage & Hour Violations

From unpaid overtime and stolen tips to missed meal and rest breaks or worker misclassification (independent contractor vs. employee under AB 5), we help workers recover the earnings they legally earned.

Workplace Discrimination

It is unlawful for employers to discriminate against employees or job applicants based on protected characteristics such as race, age, gender, pregnancy, disability, sexual orientation, religion, or national origin.

Workplace Retaliation

It is illegal for an employer to punish, demote, target, or fire an employee for filing a complaint, reporting unlawful activity (whistleblowing), or requesting accommodations under FMLA/CFRA.
