California's Best Disability Discrimination Attorney

Q. Why Do You Need a Disability Discrimination Attorney?

It is highly recommended to consult a legal professional specializing in employment law if you are considering filing a disability discrimination claim. All discrimination claims are processed by filing a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and they require a considerable amount of evidence and information. Failure to provide this in a comprehensive, organized manner may result in your case being prematurely dismissed. A California disability discrimination attorney with experience and knowledge in EEOC claims can help you file these charges on your behalf, assisting with everything from paperwork to evidence gathering.

Additionally, a disability discrimination lawyer understands any potential laws or provisions that must be taken into consideration regarding your case. For example, there is a strict statute of limitations on all EEOC charges – a time limit deadline for all charges before they are considered invalid. You have 180 days from the date of the incident to file a disability discrimination claim – but this can also be impacted by state laws as well. A lawyer is aware of such deadlines to ensure you file a charge promptly and without consequence. Ultimately, an attorney is there to give you peace of mind – essentially handling the complex legal process on your behalf so you can focus on other important aspects of your life.

Los Angeles Wage and Hour Lawyer

State and federal law ensures that you are rightfully compensated for the time that you have spent working at your job. Unfortunately, some employers may ignore, exploit, or otherwise fail to follow these directives, and workers may not receive the compensation to which they are legally entitled. Under California state law, eight hours of labor is generally considered a full day of work – and any further work done thereafter is subject to overtime pay. Although there are some exceptions that may render employees exempt from these provisions, most employees in California have the legal right to earn overtime pay for their work. Unfortunately, companies often take advantage of these complex state and federal overtime laws to deny you the proper wages you deserve. At Lavi & Ebrahimian, LLP, they have full, comprehensive knowledge of the laws surrounding overtime pay, so that their overtime attorneys can help you quickly determine any potential disputes regarding overtime and rightful compensation.
