For Employees

EMPLOYERS

The attorneys at Castle Law practice exclusively employment law and have done so for years.

Usually, the most effective and efficient means of avoiding potentially costly litigation is prevention. However, avoiding litigation is not always within one’s control. For those situations, the attorneys at Castle Law have the knowledge and experience, gained through years of defending employers at top big law employment defense firms, to represent clients of all sizes throughout the litigation process. We have represented dozens of clients in arbitrations, mediations, at court and jury trials, and Labor Commissioner proceedings. We are not afraid to take a case all the way.

Having litigated cases in prominent big law firms for several years, Castle Law offers clients attorneys with a wealth of employment law knowledge and practical experience. Tim and Kent have a proven record of success litigating the most complex employment law cases. Some cases merit a sustained and vigorous defense, but often cases can be resolved early through motion practice or settlement. Successful litigation experience gives Castle Law a keen ability to provide an early assessment of potential exposure and case strategy.

Our Practice Areas

Unlawful Termination

There are various reasons for employment terminations that the law says are illegal. This is also known as wrongful termination. From Breach of Contract, to Discriminatory Firing, Castle Law is here to help.

$
Unpaid Wages
California and Federal laws impose laws and regulations related to the hours worked and pay earned by employees in California. Generally, these laws cannot be changed by a private agreement between the employer and employee.
$
Retaliation
Retaliation in the employment context arises when an employee engages in some form of “protected activity” and as a result the employer engages in one or more adverse employment actions as a result.
$
Sexual Harassment
Most people are aware that sexual harassment is both wrong and illegal. Unfortunately, it still sometimes exists in the workplace today. Also, sexual harassment is not the only form of illegal harassment.
$
Disability Discrimination
Employers cannot discriminate against disabled employees because they require accommodations to perform their jobs. Likewise, employers cannot terminate employees or lower their pay because of actual or perceived disability.
$
Employee Misclassification
If an employer has misclassified an employee as an independent contractor, or a non-exempt employee as an exempt employee, the potential exposure for unpaid wage can be significant.
