Retaliation & Whistleblower
How California law protects you.
Reporting wage theft, unsafe conditions, fraud or harassment is protected activity. Demotions, schedule cuts, write-ups and terminations that follow a report are where retaliation cases are won — the sequence of events is the evidence.
These cases are evaluated and handled personally by the firm's attorney, and the consultation costs nothing. Talk to a lawyer before you sign anything or resign.
What we look at in a retaliation & whistleblower case
- Labor Code 1102.5 whistleblower claims — public and private employers
- Safety complaints (Cal/OSHA) and wage complaints protected
- Timeline reconstruction: report, then punishment, documented step by step
- Penalties and attorney's fees available on top of lost wages in many claims
Common questions
Retaliation & Whistleblower questions.
What will this cost me?
The consultation is free and confidential. Most matters like this are handled on contingency or under fee-shifting statutes that put the fees on the employer when you prevail.
Will my employer find out I called?
Not from us. The consultation is confidential, and deciding to learn your rights is not something your employer is told about.
How long do I have?
Deadlines vary by claim — some are years, some are months. The safest answer is always the same: ask now, while evidence and memories are fresh.
Confidential consultation
Tell us what is happening at work.
The consultation is free, confidential, and carries no obligation. If there is no claim worth bringing, you will be told that plainly, and if another firm is a better fit for your matter, you will be told that too.
- No fee unless you recover on injury and lemon law matters.
- Direct attorney access from the first call to the last signature.
- Se habla español. Consultations available in Spanish.
- If a deadline is close, call (310) 598-9614 rather than emailing. Some California deadlines are as short as six months.
