Our firm usually operates on a contingency fee arrangement, where legal fees are owed only if the client’s case has a favorable outcome. Typically, this fee is a percentage of the amount recovered for the client. Such an arrangement can make it more feasible for individuals with limited financial resources to seek justice and protect their civil rights.
Our Commitment to Service
As part of our dedication to public service, our office offers pro bono legal assistance, including pro bono wrongful termination lawyer services, to promote workplace rights and fairness across California. These pro bono efforts enable us to provide legal representation and justice to underserved and underrepresented communities. Each year, pro bono employment lawyers take on select cases, typically representing one or two clients. This initiative is a core aspect of our firm’s mission to deliver justice to all, irrespective of their financial circumstances. We are committed to championing workers' rights, ensuring equitable employment practices, and advocating for individuals whose voices are often marginalized in the legal system.
Types of Pro Bono Cases We Take
As part of our pro bono initiative, we offer comprehensive support in crucial aspects of labor and employment law. Our elite team of pro bono employment lawyers is prepared to help you navigate various disputes, including:
- Wage & Hour Disputes: We relentlessly advocate for workers robbed of their hard-earned wages and victims of wage theft. Your fight is our mission!
- Workplace Discrimination: We ardently oppose any form of discrimination and tirelessly strive to protect the rights of individuals who have been unjustly treated because of their race, gender, age, religion, disability, or any other protected attribute.
- Wrongful Termination: We advocate for workers who have been unjustly terminated in breach of employment laws or contractual agreements, offering expert pro bono wrongful termination lawyers.
- Sexual Harassment: We provide comprehensive legal assistance to individuals facing workplace sexual harassment. Our dedicated pro bono employment lawyers work tirelessly to ensure that both the offenders and the irresponsible employers are held accountable.
We consider our pro bono efforts to be an integral investment in our community, rather than merely a charitable sideline.
