When something goes wrong in the workplace, we step in to make it right. With a service area in the middle of California’s Central Valley, our Fresno employment lawyer represents abused and exploited employees who want to take the battle with their bosses to the courtroom. When workplace violations derail your happiness and wellbeing, turn to a Fresno employment lawyer who has the years of experience you need to win your case.
Ever since 2009, we have been fighting to defend the rights of employees as guaranteed by California laws. That’s work we take a lot of pride in providing. Although we always remain professional, our fierce desire to see justice served means that we represent our clients fearlessly and aggressively until the wrongs their employers have done to them have been corrected. Violating California’s labor codes isn’t just immoral and unfair—it’s illegal, and we’re prepared
to bring violators to task.
We understand that, as an individual worker, the prospect of challenging your boss can be downright daunting. The good news is you don’t have to do it alone. We’re with you every step of the way, and that includes providing our plaintiffs with our personal cell phone numbers, so we always remain accessible. Our compassionate care for our clients stems from our two-fold, simple, core belief:
- Workers deserve to be fairly compensated for work they provide.
- They deserve a comfortable and safe environment to provide that work.
This value has become the backbone of Stonebrook Law’s practice and has helped to build us into the strong firm we are today. And while we have over a decade of experience with California labor and employment law, we are always pushing ourselves to do more, learn further, and continue evolving. The law is a living, breathing thing, and we put in the work to make sure we always stay up-to-date.
At the end of the day, the only criteria by which an employee should ever be judged is how well they perform their job duties. Unfortunately, thanks to California being an at-will state (meaning that, with a few exceptions, employers can generally hire and fire employees at will), many bosses believe it is permissible to mistreat their workers based on their race, sex, sexual orientation, age, gender presentation, or religion. In fact, it happens so often, that California has specific language in its labor codes to address the mistreatment of historically persecuted minorities in the workplace.
Seeing this kind of injustice on such a regular basis fuels our passion to pursue equality and fair treatment for all workers in Fresno and across California. Don’t stand for discrimination, retaliation, and harassment! Working with an experienced Fresno employment lawyer can help you advance your claim against your employer without hitting roadblocks.
No employee should ever have to face abuse and exploitation in the workplace, and if it does happen, they certainly shouldn’t have to face it alone. If you have experienced such assaults on your labor rights, let us help you evaluate your case and defend your legal protections. We serve employees throughout California and we can represent you, too.
If you’re an employee and need legal advice because you think your workplace rights have been violated, give our Fresno employment lawyer a call today. Find out for yourself how we’ll fight for you!
