What We Do

Every employment violation. One focused firm.

Wrongful Termination

Fired for an illegal reason — discrimination, retaliation, whistleblowing, medical leave. Federal law protects workers in every state, even in "at-will" employment.

Discrimination

Race, gender, age, disability, pregnancy, religion. Title VII, the ADA, and the ADEA prohibit discriminatory treatment at every stage of employment — nationwide.

Sexual Harassment

Hostile work environment or quid pro quo harassment. We hold employers and individual harassers accountable under federal and state law across the country.

FMLA / Medical Leave

Retaliated against for taking protected leave? Denied accommodation? The Family and Medical Leave Act protects eligible employees in all 50 states.

Wage & Hour Violations

Unpaid overtime, missed breaks, misclassification. The Fair Labor Standards Act is a powerful tool — and we know how to use it for class and individual claims nationwide.

Whistleblower & Retaliation

Reported fraud, unsafe conditions, or illegal activity and faced consequences? Federal and state whistleblower laws offer significant protection and financial rewards.

Client Stories

What our clients say.

The team at Employee First Legal were absolutely phenomenal. After being wrongfully terminated, I felt powerless against my former employer. They leveled the playing field completely. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome.

M. Reyes Wrongful Termination · San Diego

I was skeptical at first. I'm a nurse, not an executive. But they took my wage theft case just as seriously. They fought hard, and we won. The whole team kept me informed every step of the way.

T. Nguyen Wage & Hour · Riverside County

After years of harassment, I finally had someone in my corner who understood what I'd been through. They were direct, compassionate, and relentless. The settlement changed my life. I only wish I'd called sooner.
