Employment Lawyer in Fresno, California
Fired, Harassed, or Denied Wages? We Fight for Central Valley Workers
Employment Lawyer in Fresno, California
With Over $100,000,000 Resolved Since 2012.
If your employer fired you unfairly, denied you overtime, retaliated against you for speaking up, or forced you to work through breaks — they may have broken the law. At Employees First Labor Law, we represent Fresno workers who’ve been mistreated, underpaid, or silenced. We’re not a general practice — employment law is all we do. We’ve recovered millions of dollars for workers across California, including farmworkers, warehouse employees, nurses, teachers, and service workers.
What Our Fresno Employment Lawyers Handle
California law provides some of the strongest workplace protections in the country — and we
make sure your employer doesn’t ignore them.
Wrongful Termination
Fired for taking leave, reporting harassment, or requesting accommodations? That’s illegal. We’ll build your case for reinstatement, back pay, and emotional distress damages.
Wage Theft & Overtime Violations
From agricultural fields to retail stores, wage theft is rampant in Fresno. We help workers recover unpaid wages, meal and rest break penalties, waiting time penalties, and attorneys’ fees.
Disability Discrimination & Medical Leave Violations
If your employer denied accommodations or retaliated after you took CFRA, FMLA, or other protected leave, we can sue under FEHA, the ADA, and Labor Code §§ 12940 & 233.
Sexual Harassment & Hostile Work Environment
Unwanted touching, comments, or pressure from a boss or coworker? That’s harassment. If your employer failed to stop it, they are legally responsible.
Pregnancy & Caregiver Discrimination
It’s illegal to punish workers for being pregnant or caring for a sick family member. If you were fired, demoted, or harassed after requesting leave, we’ll hold your employer accountable.
Whistleblower Retaliation
If you reported wage violations, harassment, unsafe work conditions, or fraud — and then faced discipline or termination — you may be entitled to double damages under Labor Code §1102.5.
