Retaliation Attorney
Orange County

California law prohibits employers from retaliating against employees who engage in protected activities. If you were fired, demoted, or subjected to adverse employment action after reporting illegal conduct, filing a complaint, or exercising your legal rights, you may have a retaliation claim.

​

What Is Workplace Retaliation?

Retaliation occurs when an employer takes an adverse employment action against an employee because the employee engaged in a protected activity. Protected activities include reporting harassment or discrimination, filing a workers' compensation claim, taking protected medical or family leave, reporting wage and hour violations, and reporting illegal conduct to government agencies.

​

FEHA Retaliation

The Fair Employment and Housing Act prohibits retaliation against employees who oppose discriminatory practices or participate in FEHA proceedings. Retaliation claims under FEHA are among the most common and powerful claims available to California employees.

​

What You May Be Entitled To

If you were retaliated against, you may be entitled to recover lost wages and future earnings, emotional distress damages, punitive damages in cases of malicious conduct, and attorney's fees and costs.
