Employment Law
Protecting California Workers

We help employees secure justice, compensation, and accountability when employers break the law. Whether you were fired illegally, harassed, denied wages, or retaliated against—we stand with you.

Wrongful Termination

Wrongful termination occurs when an employer fires an employee for illegal reasons such as retaliation, whistleblowing, refusing to engage in unlawful activity, taking protected medical or family leave, or being part of a protected class. Even though California is an at-will employment state, employers are prohibited from firing workers in violation of state or federal laws protecting employee rights.

Taban Law Firm investigates every detail surrounding a termination, including documentation, employer communications, and witness statements. We build strong evidence to prove unlawful firing, negotiate aggressively for compensation, and pursue litigation when necessary. Employees may be entitled to lost wages, emotional distress damages, benefits, and more.

Workplace Discrimination

Workplace discrimination happens when employees are treated unfairly because of protected characteristics such as race, gender, age, disability, national origin, pregnancy, or sexual orientation. Discrimination may appear as demotions, denied promotions, reduced pay, wrongful termination, or unfair discipline. California’s FEHA and federal laws like Title VII strictly forbid such conduct.

 

Taban Law Firm conducts comprehensive investigations into discriminatory actions by reviewing HR records, internal communication, and witness accounts. We pursue justice through complaints with state and federal agencies as well as litigation to secure compensation and ensure accountability

Sexual Harassment & Hostile Work Environment

Sexual harassment includes unwanted touching, advances, sexual comments, offensive messages, coercion, or retaliation for rejecting inappropriate behavior. A hostile work environment occurs when the workplace becomes abusive, threatening, or intimidating due to repeated misconduct by coworkers, supervisors, or even clients. California law provides strong protections for employees facing such treatment.

 

Taban Law Firm documents incidents thoroughly, collects evidence, interviews witnesses, and builds cases aimed at holding employers responsible for failing to maintain a safe workplace. We pursue compensation for emotional distress, retaliation, and lost wages resulting from harassment or ongoing hostility.

Retaliation Claims

Retaliation occurs when an employer punishes an employee for exercising legal rights, such as reporting discrimination, harassment, wage violations, or workplace safety issues, or for taking protected medical or family leave. Retaliatory actions may include demotion, reduced hours, pay cuts, hostile behavior, or termination. Retaliation is strictly prohibited under FEHA, FMLA, CFRA, and California Labor Code §1102.5.

 

Taban Law Firm investigates retaliatory conduct, gathers documentary evidence, and advocates aggressively to protect employee rights. We pursue compensation and legal remedies to restore justice when employers act unlawfully.

Wage & Hour Violations

Wage and hour violations include unpaid minimum wage, unpaid overtime, denial of meal or rest breaks, forced off-the-clock work, delayed final paychecks, and failure to reimburse business expenses. These violations directly impact an employee’s financial well-being and are barred by California Labor Code, IWC Wage Orders, and federal wage laws.

 

Taban Law Firm audits pay records, time logs, and employer practices to identify unlawful wage violations. We calculate unpaid wages, penalties, and interest, and file claims with the Labor Commissioner or pursue litigation to secure all compensation owed to workers.

Disability & Leave Rights

Employees with disabilities, medical conditions, pregnancy-related needs, or family care obligations are entitled to reasonable accommodations and protected leave under FEHA, FMLA, CFRA, and PDL. Employers must engage in a timely, good-faith interactive process and cannot terminate or retaliate against workers who exercise these rights.

 

Taban Law Firm ensures employees receive the accommodations and leave protections guaranteed by law. We investigate violations, collect evidence, and pursue claims for lost income, emotional suffering, and benefits when employers fail to comply with disability and leave laws.

Wage Theft & Misclassification

Wage theft occurs when employers fail to pay employees for all hours worked, deny overtime, ignore meal or rest breaks, or make illegal deductions. Misclassification happens when employers label workers as independent contractors instead of employees, denying them minimum wage, overtime, benefits, and legal protections. California applies the strict ABC test to determine proper classification.

 

Taban Law Firm audits payroll and employment structures, identifies misclassification, and files claims for unpaid wages, overtime, penalties, and benefits. In cases involving multiple affected workers, we pursue class action or PAGA remedies.

Class Actions & PAGA Cases

Class actions and PAGA (Private Attorneys General Act) cases provide powerful tools for groups of employees facing widespread violations such as missed breaks, unpaid wages, misclassification, or unlawful policies. These claims allow workers to pursue compensation and civil penalties collectively.

 

Taban Law Firm investigates workplace patterns, gathers evidence across employee groups, and files class action or PAGA claims to hold employers accountable. We maximize recovery for all affected workers and ensure systemic violations are corrected.

Evidence & Recovery

Strong evidence is the foundation of every successful employment case. Important records include pay stubs, time sheets, emails, text messages, HR documents, performance reviews, witness statements, and surveillance footage. These materials help prove wrongdoing and quantify damages.

 

Taban Law Firm assists employees with gathering and organizing crucial evidence, calculating unpaid wages, and pursuing economic and emotional-distress damages. We also seek penalties, interest, and attorney’s fees—and in cases of intentional wrongdoing, punitive damages.
