What can I do if my employer is not paying me the wages I am owed?

If you work in San Diego, or anywhere else in California, you are entitled to full pay for your work, even if you work off the clock and through breaks. An employer who cheats you out of pay should be held accountable. I can help you to recover the pay you are owed, plus penalties.

My employer classifies me as an independent contractor when I do the same work as other employees. Can I do anything about it?

I was fired after I made a claim about an unsafe workplace. Is that allowed?

How can I find out if my termination was unlawful discrimination?

An employer cannot terminate an employee (or harass or discipline a worker) on the basis of a protected characteristic, such as race, religion, gender, color, national origin, ancestry, disability, medical condition, marital status, age (over 40), or sexual orientation. If your employer terminated you for any of these reasons, or otherwise harassed or discriminated against you on that basis, I will use my experience to help you evaluate your situation.

I am being harassed at work because I filed a discrimination complaint. What can I do?

My boss is constantly touching me and telling me that I can get a promotion and raise if I sleep with him. Is there anything I can do to stop this conduct?
