California’s workplace protections are some of the strongest in the nation, but asserting your rights can be complicated without legal help.

He understands how complex workplace issues can be and provides compassionate and professional legal support tailored to your needs.
Why You Need an Employment Lawyer
Employment law covers various workplace issues, from discrimination to harassment to wrongful termination. If you’ve been treated unfairly at work, knowing where to turn or what steps to take can be challenging. An employment attorney specializes in understanding the complexities of employment law and guiding you through the legal process to protect your rights.
Common Employment Cases
As an employment litigation attorney, Mr. Sedghani has extensive experience handling a variety of workplace legal issues. Here are some of the most common cases he handles.
Discrimination
Workplace discrimination occurs when an employee is treated unfairly because of their race, gender, age, disability, religion, or other protected characteristic. Common examples of workplace discrimination include:
- Racial discrimination—being treated unfairly or denied opportunities because of your race or ethnicity;
- Gender discrimination—facing unequal treatment or harassment based on your gender or gender identity;
- Age discrimination—being targeted or overlooked due to your age, often affecting workers over 40;
- Disability discrimination—experiencing bias or lack of accommodations for physical or mental disabilities;
- Religious discrimination—facing adverse actions or a hostile environment because of your religious beliefs; and
- Sexual orientation discrimination—being treated unfairly due to your sexual orientation.
No one should have to endure this kind of treatment in the workplace. Experienced employment attorney Sedghani can help you identify whether your rights have been violated and take the necessary steps to hold your employer accountable.
Retaliation
If you’ve reported illegal activity at work, filed a complaint, or exercised your legal rights and suffered negative consequences, you may have been the victim of retaliation. Retaliation can include demotion, salary reduction, or even termination for taking action against unlawful practices.
Mr. Sedghani will work with you to build a strong case and hold your employer accountable for any retaliatory actions.
Wrongful Termination
Wrongful termination occurs when you’ve been fired or laid off under unfair or illegal circumstances. In California, employees receive protection against termination for reasons that violate state or federal laws. The protection may also apply if the termination breaches an employment contract.
Wage and Hour Disputes
Attorney Sedghani also handles wage and hour disputes involving unpaid wages, overtime pay violations, and other compensation-related issues. California laws are strong regarding protecting workers’ rights to fair pay, and we work hard to ensure that employers comply with wage and hour laws.
Harassment
Workplace harassment can take many forms, including verbal abuse, bullying, and sexual harassment. If you’ve experienced harassment at work, employment litigation attorney Sedghani can help you navigate your options for holding the responsible parties accountable and stopping the abusive behavior.
