Representation for Employees

Southern California Workplace Discrimination Lawyers

Los Angeles Employee Rights Attorneys

For many of us, work is something of a safe haven—a place where we feel both competent and good about ourselves regardless of the personal difficulties we are dealing with at any given time. Being discriminated against, being paid less than what you are owed, or being harassed in any way, shape, or form, takes all of that away and more.

The dilemma many people in these situations face is that they just want to keep jobs and be treated fairly—not get "special" treatment, not be a "troublemaker," and not just to "cash in" for a big pay-day. Unfortunately, their employers often give them no choice.

As an employee, you have the right to do your job without discrimination or harassment. If you are being subjected to a hostile work environment or have been wrongfully terminated by an employer— contact the attorneys of Oswald & Yap in Irvine, California, today.

At Oswald & Yap, our senior employment law attorneys have many years of actual trial experience in successfully handling the claims of wrongfully terminated "at will" employees and individuals who have suffered discrimination or harassment on the job. We also believe that because we do not work solely on behalf of employees or employers, we are able to approach each case with a fresher and more informed mind set.

Specific types of issues our lawyers can assist you with include:

• wage, hour, and overtime disputes
• wrongful termination
• sexual harassment
• hostile work environment
• whistleblower / qui tam concerns
• discrimination based on age, gender, race, and other factors
• non-compete agreements and other restrictive covenants
• executive severance package disputes
• employment litigation
