Contact Us Community Involvement LATLC comes together during the holiday season to create a holiday village filled with family fun and games, as well as provide food for holiday meals, much-needed household items, and a toy for every child. On December 3, 2022, the 7th Annual LATLC Holiday event returned to St. Patrick’s Church for another “Miracle on 34th Street.” For the fourth year, we partnered with LAPD’s Newton Division and the Los Angeles Fire Department to provide more than 2,100 toys, household items, and groceries to 500 South Los Angeles families. Each family was selected by the LAPD and local community groups. This year, families were able to select the groceries they needed, and children happily picked out their own toys! The event included a petting zoo, a candy area, and balloon twisters. Children also wrote their holiday wishes on heart-shaped cards for Lovey. And of course, Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus arrived with their elves in style – a pink LAPD vehicle, led by fancy cars provided by the Driven Project. The morning was covered on Channels 2, 9, and 4. Blackstone staff, management, some attorneys, and their children and spouses volunteered.

Affordable Advocacy from Experienced Employment Lawyers California Employment Law Categories Why Choose Blackstone Law? Seek Help from Leading Employment Lawyers in Los Angeles Frequently Asked Questions About Employment Law in Los Angeles, CA California Workplace Discrimination Statistics Every year, the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing receives approximately 23,000 complaints from members of the public who have been the victims of civil rights violations. Over 86% of those complaints (19,000+) involved employment discrimination. The unfortunate consequence of these regular complaints is that companies and their legal teams have gotten very good at avoiding responsibility for their actions. Some of the most common employee complaints are: Discrimination Sexual harassment Wrongful termination Breach of contract Hostile workplace Waste Nepotism Whistleblower retaliation Our experience gives us great insight into the tactics often used by large corporations, and your employment lawyer will work day and night to ensure that you have the advantage. Our #1 goal is representing your best interests while protecting you from further suffering and retaliation. What Rights Do I Have as an Employee in Los Angeles, CA? It is essential for employees to understand their rights so they can recognize when they are being exploited or mistreated. Under California law, employers must follow specific safety, anti-discrimination, and compensation protocols to be comply with the law. Some of your most fundamental employee rights are outlined below. The Right to Overtime Pay Employees in California that work more than 40 hours a week must be compensated for their time in the form of overtime pay. While there are several exceptions to this rule, an experienced employment law attorney can review your case to determine if you are owed back pay for your hours worked. The Right to Meal and Rest Breaks If you work more than three and a half hours in a day, you are entitled to meal and rest breaks under California law. Rest breaks must be at least ten minutes, and meal breaks must be at least 30 minutes, and both must be uninterrupted and free of duty. If your employer fails to provide compliant breaks, you may be entitled to compensation. Protection from Discrimination In California, it is unlawful for an employee to discriminate against their employee based on the following: Race Ethnicity Religion Gender Pregnancy Age Sexual identity Disability National Origin If you have been discriminated against in the workplace, an experienced employment law attorney can help you file a claim with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) or the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Protection From Sexual Harassment Sexual harassment is an unacceptable violation of your rights both inside and outside of the workplace. Sexual harassment in the workplace typically occurs in one of two ways: Quid pro quo : If your abuser ever tried to exchange promotions or benefits for sexual favors, you may be a victim of this type of sexual harassment. Hostile work environment : Individuals subjected to prolonged or severe harassment are likely contending with a hostile work environment and are having their rights violated. An employment lawyer can be a valuable resource for victims of workplace sexual harassment. Your Los Angeles employment attorney will keep your identity and information confidential as they investigate your claim. The Right to Sick Leave to Care for a Family Member Employers must offer 12 weeks of unpaid leave for employees that must care for a sick family member under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). If you are unlawfully denied FMLA, you may have grounds to file a lawsuit and a complaint with the U.S. Department of Labor . The Right to Earn The Minimum Wage or More Workers in California must be compensated for their time with at least the minimum wage.The minimum wage in California, effective January 1, 2026, is $16.90/hour for all employers. Certain industries and cities have higher rates. If you are not being compensated fairly, you may be eligible to file a claim against your employer to collect the back pay you are owed. Common Employment Lawsuit Challenges Employment cases often present unique challenges that require an experienced employment lawyer. Always treat claims with a strong sense of urgency due to the varying statute of limitations that exist. For example, you must file wrongful termination charges within 300 days of the termination in question. On the other hand, most unpaid wage cases fall under the three-year statute of limitations. Although the process can be confusing, many people who have filed employment lawsuits find that they help to validate their experience and thus, can start a journey of healing. We know that you have a long road ahead of you, and we will be with you every step of the way.

SEXUAL ORIENTATION DISCRIMINATION LAWYER IN LOS ANGELES 1-855-STONE-55 | SE HABLA ESPAÑOL Sexual Orientation Discrimination Jonathan Genish 2022-01-14T12:09:33-08:00 LA Lawyers » Employment Law » Sexual Orientation Discrimination Los Angeles Sexual Orientation Discrimination Lawyers D iscrimination against any group of people is unacceptable, including the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) community. As social attitudes on equality have progressed, so has our ability to fight sexual orientation discrimination within the legal system. Employers cannot use sexual orientation as a way to discriminate against you any more than they can use the color of your skin or your gender. If you need a Los Angeles sexual orientation discrimination lawyer, Blackstone Law may be able to assist. The LGBTQ community remains more vulnerable than ever before to workplace harassment. The legalities on this continue to evolve. Knowing your rights is the first step to finding a sexual orientation discrimination attorney in Los Angeles to provide guidance on this issue. What is Sexual Orientation Discrimination in the Workplace? Sexual orientation discrimination in the workplace is characterized by discriminatory behaviors from an employer based on your orientation. It may be characterized by actions that may include (but are not limited to): Refusal to hire someone based on their sexual orientation Termination or demotion based on sexual orientation Denial of equal wages based on gender identity or sexual orientation The perpetuation of a hostile work environment or harassment in the workplace because of gender identity or sexual orientation Sexual orientation discrimination laws changed at the federal level in 2020. This was when the Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling which held that employment discrimination based on sexual orientation or transgender status is unlawful under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The ruling applies to workplaces with 15 or more employees. It also provides us with the legal foundation necessary to help you pursue your sexual discrimination case if you feel your employer has victimized you. Harms of Sexual Orientation Discrimination Sexual orientation discrimination can be extremely harmful and pervasive. The Williams Institute notes that between 16 and 68 percent of LGBTQ employees have experienced discrimination in the workplace. The harm is further manifested in those actions that happen alongside discrimination. From losing out on possible employment opportunities to physical violence in the workplace, the harm that sexual orientation discrimination perpetuates is often lasting and impactful. Between 8 and 17 percent of LGB individuals have reported being fired or passed over for employment opportunities due to their sexual orientation. Another 10 to 28 percent were given negative performance reviews, while up to 41% of individuals responding to a survey admitted being physically abused in the workplace or experiencing vandalism due to their sexual orientation. Between 15 and 57 percent of transgender individuals have also reported employment discrimination, with the same percentage reporting termination because of their established gender identity. These statistics underscore the pervasiveness of sexual orientation discrimination in Los Angeles. They also show that discrimination manifests in myriad ways. Being passed over for a promotion or being ostracized in the workplace may be the start. But these statistics show that the situation can – and often does – evolve into violence for LBTGQ employees in the workplace. Benefits of Working with a Los Angeles Sexual Orientation Discrimination Lawyer Even though sexual orientation discrimination is unethical and unlawful, it still happens more than people may realize. You may feel intimidated at the notion of taking on your employer for creating this kind of work environment. After all, social attitudes towards LGBTQ populations have only just begun to shift on a macro level, and there is still much to go where equal protections are concerned. However, this is one of the reasons we work closely with those clients to pursue justice and ensure that they feel supported through the entire process. We will explain the legalities of your case and provide you with a wide array of options to ensure that the avenue you pursue offers the best possible outcome.

LOS ANGELES RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION LAWYER 1-855-STONE-55 | SE HABLA ESPAÑOL Religious Discrimination Jonathan Genish 2023-08-31T08:18:22-07:00 LA Lawyers » Employment Law » Religious Discrimination Los Angeles Religious Discrimination Lawyer T he idea that all people have the freedom to follow their individual belief systems is ingrained in the very foundation of this country. Yet, religious discrimination runs as rampant as other forms of bigotry and hatred, requiring aggressive defense from every angle. We strongly believe that religion should not represent another avenue for employers to discriminate against employees for their chosen beliefs. As such, protecting yourself sometimes means seeking the legal remedies available to you. At Blackstone Law , we defend your right to your religious beliefs aggressively and with the power of the law on our side. You don’t have to give in to mistreatment in the workplace simply because your employer disagrees with your religion. We can help you fight back. How to Recognize Signs of Religious Discrimination Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, employers cannot discriminate against their employees because of their religious beliefs or lack thereof. This section of the Act prohibits employers from using religious considerations in any employee-related decision-making. This includes hiring, termination, and any other terms of employment. Employees may not be mistreated or ostracized in the workplace because of their religious beliefs. Moreover, employers cannot require their staff members to participate in religious activities in the workplace. Possible signs of religious discrimination in the workplace include: An employer’s refusal to hire you based on religious considerations Refusal to allow employees to observe religious holidays Unwilling to allow employees to engage in reasonable religious practices (such as wearing a headscarf for religious reason or allowing employees to pray silently in their offices) Segregating employees into one area of the office because they share the same religious beliefs Depending on the employer’s actions, other examples of religious discrimination may fall outside of the more typical actions. One of our attorneys can help you make that determination and move forward in holding the offending party responsible for such heinous actions.

Aside from the business operations, the workplace should be supportive, collaborative, and free from harassment and discrimination. That is why laws have been put in place to protect workers and to create safe workspaces. Unfortunately, there are some people who create a hostile workplace and whose actions are prohibited by California law. Who is Protected From Harassment in Los Angeles? Harassment is prohibited in all workplaces in California and is the most pervasive form of discrimination. No matter how many or how few employees a business has, creating a hostile work environment based on protected characteristics can result in a hostile work environment lawsuit, and victims can seek compensation for their pain and suffering. The following is a list of protected characteristics: Age Race Religion National origin Color Disability Genetic information Sex gender Gender identity Sexual orientation Ancestry Military status Veteran status If you have been a victim of harassment or discrimination in the workplace, contact Blackstone Law Firm . We offer dedicated and legal representation and fight for the rights of people to work in a safe environment that’s free from discrimination. What is a Hostile Work Environment in Los Angeles? A hostile work environment can be overt or subtle. When someone or even a group of people use words or actions to intimidate, abuse, or threaten someone, this creates a hostile work environment. In addition, if someone is verbally, physically, or visually harassed in a sexual manner through jokes, touching, or inappropriate comments, this too is prohibited. The following are examples of discriminatory conduct: Making rude comments about someone’s religion Laughing at and making jokes about the disability of a coworker Using racial slurs Offensive comments Unwanted sexual advances Uncomfortable physical contact Remarks about someone’s age While there are people who will brush off harassment and downplay the discriminatory actions of another, it is important to understand that discrimination of any kind has a negative impact on the victim and even those who have witnessed the behavior. There is no reason to tolerate unwelcomed and discriminatory behavior. What Do I Do If I Am in a Hostile Work Environment in Los Angeles? There is nothing normal about working in a hostile work environment. If you have been a victim of harassment at your job, consider the following information that may help you take action: Confront the Person This may seem intimidating but speak to the offender and let them know that their words or actions are unacceptable and will not be tolerated. You can even do it in the presence of a witness for support. by confronting this person, you may prevent them from doing the same to others. Talk to the Proper Authorities If you are in a large company, contact your Human Resources department and tell them what has occurred. For those in a smaller organization, talk to your manager and inform them of the situation. Your company has a legal obligation to investigate and address the situation. Document Everything When you are a victim of harassment, document everything and create a paper trail. This will help you in proving your case, especially if your company isn’t doing what they are supposed to in these circumstances. Harassment of protected classes can be extremely emotional, causing distress and job insecurities.

WORKPLACE RETALIATION LAWYER IN LOS ANGELES 1-855-STONE-55 | SE HABLA ESPAÑOL Retaliation Jonathan Genish 2023-04-14T09:20:44-07:00 LA Lawyers » Employment Law » Retaliation Los Angeles Workplace Retaliation Attorney O ne of the biggest deterrents for potential whistleblowers is the possibility of retaliation. After all, how can you report violations and illegal activity without suffering professional, financial, and personal consequences? Retaliation can range from a reduction of hours to wrongful termination. Unfortunately, retaliation is difficult to regulate, despite the state and federal laws that prohibit it. Employers frequently attempt to disguise their wrongful conduct as something other than retaliation, leaving some victims feeling scared and uncertain. When you are unsure where to turn for justice, a Los Angeles employment attorney can help explain your rights and fight for you in a court of law. Blackstone Law is a team of experienced workplace retaliation lawyers. Our seasoned attorneys have extensive experience helping victims of workplace retaliation get justice for their mistreatment. We offer our clients, as if they are family, the award-winning service that they deserve in sensitive cases like these. We believe in providing clients with dedicated representation and trust so we can help them get their lives back on track. Does My Situation Qualify as Retaliation in Los Angeles? After you have reported wrongdoing, you are entitled to the protection of both state and federal laws. At the state level, California Labor Codes sections 1102.5 to 1105 protect any employee who discloses wrongdoing to a government agency, provided they can demonstrate reasonable cause. Federal protections exist for violations of federal law, such as the Clean Air Act. If you meet the criteria for protection and file your claim within two years of the incident, you may be entitled to damages that result from illegal retaliation. However, you should be aware that the law may or may not provide protection if the disclosure was given to a media agency rather than a governmental body. In some cases, you may face retaliation due to the mere suspicion of whistleblowing. If your employer retaliates in response to whistleblowing you did not commit, you are in a unique legal position. It’s important to seek the representation of a workplace retaliation attorney as soon as possible. How Do I Recover From Workplace Retaliation? Workplace retaliation can take many forms and often causes a financial loss to the victim. In this situation, the best defense is a good offense. Retaliation can quickly escalate to wrongful termination. By proactively contacting a workplace retaliation lawyer, you will be able to collect the evidence you need to protect your personal and professional future. In many cases, the path to recovery involves bringing a case before the courts. By pursuing a court case, victims can punish the perpetrators of wrongdoing and recover from any financial losses they may have incurred. In order to recover from the financial losses, a victim of workplace retaliation may need to discuss what damages they can collect for their suffering, such as: Lost wages Lost earning potential Pain and suffering Punitive damages Our experienced employment lawyers can help you build a solid claim to obtain the best possible compensation. What Should I Look for in a Los Angeles Workplace Retaliation Lawyer? Retaliation cases frequently involve sensitive information. When selecting a workplace retaliation lawyer, you should search for one who can become your partner throughout the litigation process. A Los Angeles workplace retaliation lawyer needs full access to all the relevant details of your case, and you will want to find trustworthy counsel who will advocate for your rights. Additionally, some other qualities to look for when choosing the right Los Angeles lawyer for your claim are: Positive client reviews Honesty and integrity Free case consultation Attentive care Dedicated representation Prompt communication Blackstone Law possesses all these qualities and more and is prepared to help you build a strong workplace retaliation claim.

LOS ANGELES BRAIN INJURY LAWYER 1-855-STONE-55 | SE HABLA ESPAÑOL Los Angeles Brain Injury Lawyer Jonathan Genish 2023-09-27T12:56:46-07:00 LA Lawyers » Personal Injury » Brain Injury Brain Injury Lawyer A traumatic brain injury is one of the most difficult injuries to recover from. The delicate connections in your brain control everything from limb movement to speech functions, to emotional responses. In order to recover from a brain injury, the brain must form new connections to relearn the things that were once second nature. This can be a long and painful process, and recovery is never fully guaranteed. If you or a loved one have been victim to a traumatic brain injury, you have the option to fight back. A Los Angeles brain injury lawyer may not be able to recover what you’ve lost, but we can help you get the resources you need to focus on recovery and begin healing. If you’re feeling confused and lost, our brain injury attorneys want you to know that you’re not alone. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of death and disability in the United States.

Nearly 30% of all injury-related deaths are caused by a traumatic brain injury. Recovery can be a lengthy process. A brain injury lawyer will advocate for you while you focus on healing. Every brain injury case is different. Sometimes a seemingly minor concussion can worsen over time, creating a lasting and negative impact on your quality of life. In more severe cases, victims may experience a loss of independence as the injury requires them to enter assisted living or remain in the hospital for months on end. Finally, there is no guarantee that you will be able to return to your former profession following a brain injury . This can further impact your financial status, as well as the security of those who depend on you. Why Blackstone Law? At Blackstone Law , we pride ourselves on putting our clients first. Our Los Angeles brain injury lawyers work on contingency, which means that you will never pay upfront fees.

DOG BITE LAWYER IN LOS ANGELES 1-855-STONE-55 | SE HABLA ESPAÑOL Dog Bite Lawyer in Los Angeles Jonathan Genish 2023-03-03T11:26:31-08:00 LA Lawyers » Personal Injury » Dog Bite Dog Bite Lawyer D og bites can occur for a variety of reasons and frequently happen in situations where you know the dog owner well. In California, 61% of dog bites occur in the owner’s own home or immediate neighborhood. Victims are often hesitant to litigate against friends and neighbors. Additionally, many people feel conflicted about a lawsuit that may result in the euthanization of an animal that is generally friendly. If you or a loved one are suffering from a dog bite, it’s important to remember that you cannot be held responsible for the dog owner’s negligence. A consultation with a dog bite lawyer will help you understand your legal options. Every dog owner has a responsibility to control their animal. California’s dog bite law (section 3342) imposes strict liability on dog owners after a bite has occurred. This means that even if the dog does not have a history of violent behavior, the owner is still responsible for the medical bills, injuries and any damage done to the victim. Dog bites are painful and lasting injuries. Furthermore, they can have serious health consequences. While a wound may not look serious, there is a high risk of secondary infections. Dogs can be carriers of rabies as well as other diseases that can infect humans. Depending on the severity of an injury as well as case specifics, a dog owner may be held accountable at both a civil and criminal level. Filing a Lawsuit If a dog owner is unable or unwilling to pay for your medical bills, the next step is legal action . At Blackstone Law , each case is personal for us. As dog lovers ourselves, we understand that you may be facing conflicting emotions about the dog and maybe even his or her owner. We are straight-shooters and will work with you to find a quick and fair resolution. Every year in the United States, over 4.5 million people sustain dog bites. At Blackstone Law, you’ll find an experienced dog bite lawyer who will guide you through a lawsuit. If you are considering a lawsuit, it’s important to act quickly. California Code of Civil Procedure Section 335.1 states that you must file a dog bite lawsuit within two years of the incident. After two years, you lose the right to file a lawsuit. If you delay filing, it can make it particularly difficult to collect damages for your injuries. Additionally, it may be too late to collect valuable medical evidence that could bolster your case. While most dog bite cases settle outside of court, a good dog bite lawyer will prepare for trial even if the initial goal is a settlement. At Blackstone Law, we pride ourselves on putting our clients first. Our LA dog bite attorneys work on contingency, which means that you will never pay upfront fees. Even if you choose not to retain our services, the legal advice our dog bite attorneys provide is free of charge. If you were injured, contact a dog bite lawyer for a consultation .

GENDER DISCRIMINATION LAWYER IN LOS ANGELES 1-855-STONE-55 | SE HABLA ESPAÑOL Gender Discrimination Jonathan Genish 2023-02-03T05:50:41-08:00 LA Lawyers » Employment Law » Gender Discrimination Los Angeles Gender Discrimination Lawyer I t is illegal for employers to discriminate against a person based on their gender in California. Additionally, California makes it illegal for businesses to pay employees of a certain gender different wages for similar work. Employees who face discrimination at their workplace may be able to file a lawsuit against their employer for damages. However, navigating a gender discrimination lawsuit can be complicated, so contact the Los Angeles discrimination attorneys at Blackstone Law . They can guide you through the process and protect your legal rights. Is Gender Discrimination Illegal in California? Under the law, the California Fair Pay Act and California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) make it illegal for a company to discriminate against a person because of their gender, gender identity, or gender expression. Employers and other employees may have preconceived notions and gender-based stereotypes that generalize a person’s qualifications, job performance, physical abilities, work habits, and productivity. Therefore, laws prohibiting gender discrimination protect all employees by providing equal work opportunities. Examples of Gender Discrimination at the Workplace Some employees witness open or apparent forms of gender discrimination, but it might not be so clear other times. That is because businesses and employees typically know that gender discrimination at work is illegal in California and are careful not to say anything discriminatory in front of others. There are many examples of gender discrimination, such as: Demotions Failing to promote Paying less or denying equal pay Exclusions from a meeting Sharing offensive content Forcing employees to quit While these are the most common forms, discrimination can come in many other forms. It may be comments behind one’s back or harassing an individual based on their gender. If you believe you are a victim of workplace gender discrimination in Los Angeles, contact an attorney immediately. Should I File a Gender Discrimination Complaint in Los Angeles? As mentioned above, gender discrimination is a violation of California state and federal laws. The Equal Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces sex discrimination laws at the federal level. The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) typically handles these violations at the state level. While both protect employees, state law generally allows employees more time to file a complaint. However, sex and gender discrimination cases usually go through several administrative remedies before an employee can file a complaint. For example, they may have to first go through the DFEH complaint process. On the other hand, a Los Angeles gender discrimination lawyer may be able to file a complaint with the DFEH and immediately obtain a right to sue notice without going through the administrative process. What to Expect from the Complaint Process with the DFEH In most cases, employees must file a gender discrimination complaint with the DFEH within three years of the last discrimination incident. Filing a complaint will initiate a pre-complaint inquiry, which will help determine whether the DFEH can accept a complaint. Once the department receives the complaint, an investigator will contact you within 60 days to further discuss the details. After speaking with the representative, they will decide whether they can accept the complaint. If they cannot, the department will dismiss the case. If the representative accepts the pre-complaint, they will draft a complaint for your employer. At this point, you may also file a complaint with the EEOC. Once the employer responds to the complaint, the DFEH will review their answer. In most cases, the department will offer resolution services to both the employee and their employer. However, the DFEH will begin an investigation if the two parties cannot reach a resolution. The investigation will determine whether there was a violation of California laws. If the investigator finds there was a violation, the case will go to the DFEH Legal Division. If the employer and employee cannot resolve the situation with the Legal Division, the department may file a lawsuit on your behalf or close the case. If the investigator does not discover a violation, the department will immediately close the case. Once a case closes, you can file a complaint with the superior court. What Damages May I Receive from a Gender Discrimination Lawsuit? The damages you may receive for a gender discrimination lawsuit will depend on the type of discrimination and the extent of harm. After thoroughly reviewing your case, an attorney might be able to recover the following damages: Back pay Front pay Higher income from a promotion Benefits Bonus payments Pain and suffering Emotional distress Employees might also receive punitive damages. These damages act as a way to further punish the wrongdoer and to deter the employer from engaging in similar behaviors in the future. Additionally, another remedy might be reinstatement. If a company fired an employee based on their gender, a judge might require the employer to rehire them although, you may not want to return to a discriminatory workplace. Can An Employer Fire Me for Reporting Discrimination? Managers and businesses cannot retaliate against those who file a gender discrimination claim in Los Angeles. The FEHA protects the person who filed the complaint and those who: Oppose workplace harassment Oppose gender discrimination against other employees Report gender discrimination Assist with investigations If an employer takes action against someone for any of the above actions, they may be able to file an additional complaint with the DFEH or file a general lawsuit against the business for retaliation or wrongful termination.

It is illegal to be terminated for whistleblowing in Los Angeles if you have reported or attempted to report an employer for violating the law. Not only is being fired for whistleblowing wrongful termination, but it is also unlawful retaliation. However, retaliation is not limited to termination but could also come in the form of a demotion, suspension, pay reduction, unfavorable job transfer, harassment, unfavorable modifications to job responsibilities, and other forms of negative treatment in the workplace. You may seek damages for wrongful termination if your employer violates Sarbanes-Oxley whistleblower protections , which prohibits publicly traded companies or contractors from retaliating against an employee who reports illegal behaviors and business practices of the employer, such as bank fraud, mail fraud, wire fraud, or securities fraud, or other violations. Any complaints have to be filed with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration within 180 days of the violation occurring.

Interest on the back pay : You may also obtain interest on the back pay you are owed from the wrongful termination. Reinstatement of job status before termination : In a successful retaliation claim , proving you were terminated wrongfully due to whistleblowing, you may be reinstated in the same position before you filed a complaint against your employer.

A whistleblower is anyone who speaks out against illegal, unethical, or discriminatory business practices. Employees of both private businesses and government organizations can be whistleblowers. In fact, it is important that companies have a system in place for whistleblowers to come forward and be protected in the event that they witness illegal or unethical conduct at work. If you possess a good faith belief that your employer is breaking the law, you are entitled to speak out without fear of repercussions. Whistleblowing frequently involves both retaliation and wrongful termination. You may qualify as a whistleblower regardless of whether you’ve been wrongfully terminated. If you feel that your rights were not properly protected as a whistleblower, our team of Los Angeles employment lawyers may be able to help. How Do I Know If I Have a Whistleblower Case in LA? If you have witnessed conduct by an employer or fellow employee that you deem is illegal, you may be wondering what constitutes a strong whistleblower case in Los Angeles. The following factors may be helpful when determining whether or not you should consider moving forward with your case: What is the type of misconduct or harm? Have you witnessed financial loss to the company or government, a violation of the securities or commodities law, or harm to employees or investors? If so, and if you can provide proof, you may have a strong whistleblower case. Will your information result in a financial reward? Depending on the details of your case, the information you provide may entitle you to a financial reward. Is the information timely? You have up to three years after an incident to file a whistleblower claim against a company in California. To prove retaliation for whistleblowing, you must demonstrate that you were terminated because of your report on your employer’s illegal conduct.

FMLA LAWYER IN LOS ANGELES 1-855-STONE-55 | SE HABLA ESPAÑOL Los Angeles FMLA Lawyer Jonathan Genish 2023-08-31T08:15:19-07:00 LA Lawyers » Employment Law » Los Angeles FMLA Lawyer Los Angeles FMLA Attorney A medical or personal emergency involving yourself or a loved one can be devastating. The situation can become even more overwhelming if you have to take extended time off from work. When such a serious incident happens to an employee, there are certain protections in place to make sure that their employer does not retaliate against them. One of the main protections is the Family Medical and Leave Act (FMLA). If you have experienced retaliation from your employer after taking time off work for a family or medical emergency, the team at Blackstone Law can help you navigate the complexities associated with FMLA leave. We may be able to help you obtain compensation from your employer. What Is FMLA Leave? The Family Medical and Leave Act of 1993 is a federal statute, and it is designed for employers with fifty or more employees. Employees are eligible for FMLA leave if they meet the following criteria: The employee has worked for the company for at least twelve months The employee worked at least 1,250 hours during the twelve months prior to starting FMLA leave. The FMLA provides that an employee can take up to twelve weeks of leave to address their own serious medical condition or the serious medical condition of a family member. Family members include the employee’s spouse, children, and parents. FMLA eligibility renews every twelve months, and it generally is used for the following events: Birth of a child and caring for a newborn within one year of birth Adoption or foster placement of a child and care for one year after placement Serious health conditions (as defined by FMLA regulations) of the employee or a qualifying family member Qualifying emergency of a covered military member on active duty If you are facing backlash from your employer due to your FMLA leave, you should speak with an experienced attorney as soon as possible. How Do Employers Violate the FMLA? There are a variety of ways employers violate the FMLA. While an employee is on leave, the employer must continue the employee’s health insurance. The employer may communicate with the employee on leave, but the employer cannot do so to the point of interfering with the employee’s time off. Still, most employers commonly violate the FMLA in the following ways: Failing to continue health insurance Disciplining or firing employees for taking leave Reinstating an employee to a lesser position Misclassifying the employee as a “key” employee You should seek legal counsel if your employer has taken any of the above actions. What Damages Are Recoverable FMLA Claims? Once an employee believes they have a viable FMLA claim, they should contact an experienced employment attorney. If the claim is viable and litigation is successful, the following damages are potentially recoverable: Lost wages and benefits: This is the most commonly awarded monetary compensation in FMLA settlements, with the full amount being determined by the court. Actual monetary losses: Courts have capped these losses at a maximum of twelve weeks. Liquidated damages: These include back pay and actual monetary losses, plus any interest on those sums. These are commonly awarded if it is determined that the FMLA violation was intentional on the part of the employer. An attorney will be able to examine the facts of your case and help you determine what damages you are eligible to receive. At Blackstone Law, the foundation of our practice is a genuine compassion for those brave enough to speak out.

LOS ANGELES MEAL AND REST BREAK VIOLATION LAWYER 1-855-STONE-55 | SE HABLA ESPAÑOL Los Angeles Meal and Rest Break Violation Lawyer Jonathan Genish 2023-08-31T08:17:32-07:00 LA Lawyers » Employment Law » Los Angeles Meal and Rest Break Violation Lawyer Los Angeles Meal and Rest Break Violation Lawyer W orking should never mean missing a meal. Yet, plenty of employers are more than willing to compel employees to forgo a meal, skip their break, or even work off the clock. If this happens to you, you need the help of a qualified Los Angeles meal and rest break violation lawyer that can get you results. Blackstone Law specializes in helping you with disputes over meal and rest break violations. We have litigated numerous cases for clients in their quest to hold their employers accountable for violating California labor laws. In some instances, employers are unaware of the laws governing meals and rest breaks; in others, they are simply being sinister to get more work out of you. Either way, you deserve justice when your rights have been infringed upon this way. Meals and rest breaks are imperative to getting through your shift with your well-being intact. Skipping either or both can be detrimental to your physical and mental health, and cause you to be less productive than you might otherwise be. This is one of the reasons such laws were even implemented in the first place and why we advocate for your rights as an employee so stringently. California Meal and Rest Requirements California has employee-friendly wage and hour laws in place, ensuring that you are treated fairly in your work environment. State law requires all employees to get one unpaid 30-minute break for every five hours of work unless the total shift is six hours or less. The breaks must be 30 consecutive minutes and uninterrupted by compulsory work matters. State law also notes that employers cannot encourage, request or compel you to start your break late or end it early. You are allowed to do whatever you want with your time, including leaving the premises. If you work 10 hours or longer in one shift, you are allowed two 30-minute meal breaks unless the total shift is less than 12 hours. Employees are allowed to waive the second break if the first one was taken. Employers must pay for the break if you are required to work in any way or if you are forced to remain on the premises. Employees also get a 10-minute paid break for every four hours worked, and employers cannot force you to clock out for these smaller breaks. Work with a Los Angeles Meal and Rest Break Violation Lawyer to Fight For Your Lost Time We understand that deciding to hold your employer accountable for unlawfully denying meal and rest breaks can be a terrifying prospect. It helps to have a compassionate legal team on your side, educating you on the laws that govern meal and rest breaks in California and giving you an understanding of all your options. If your employer has caused you to lose out on meal and rest breaks in the workplace, you have the right to file a claim as a result. Many people are too intimidated to take such action, and with good reason. Many companies have significant legal resources to fight these kinds of claims. This is especially true of large corporations that seem too big to pursue claims like this one. However, in this case, the law is on your side, and so are we.

CALIFORNIA LABOR & EMPLOYMENT LAW GUIDE 1-855-STONE-55 | SE HABLA ESPAÑOL The Ultimate Guide to California Labor Law Jonathan Genish 2023-02-07T10:10:47-08:00 LA Lawyers » Resources » The Ultimate Guide to California Labor Law The Ultimate Guide to California Labor & Employment Laws California labor and employment law can be difficult to understand because it exists at the intersection of both federal and state government. California has a reputation for being very employee-friendly, often instituting laws that offer more protections than those granted at the federal level. If you live in California, rest assured that your employer is required to comply with both sets of guidelines as well as any municipal obligations. In fact, employers are often required to display posters and notices prominently in order to inform employees of their rights. California labor and employment law exists to protect the interests of employees that may be compromised in the pursuit of a corporate bottom line. If you feel your employee rights were violated, or if you have any additional questions about California labor law, do not hesitate to contact our employment attorneys . Sexual Harassment Employee Handbook Drug and Alcohol Testing Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) California Family Rights Act (CFRA) Employee Termination Exempt and Non-exempt Employees Overtime Pay Meal & Rest Breaks Workers’ Compensation Independent Contractors Sexual Harassment Sexual Harassment California takes a particularly aggressive approach toward eliminating sexual harassment. All employers have an obligation to take reasonable steps to prevent harassment in the workplace and to promptly correct harassment if it does occur. The law requires that supervisors in companies with 50 or more employees receive training on sexual harassment in the workplace. According to bill AB 1825 , this training should include “information and practical guidance regarding the federal and state statutory provisions concerning the prohibition of sexual harassment and the remedies available to victims of sexual harassment in employment.” It is expected that the law will eventually require sexual harassment training for employees at all levels. What is sexual harassment? According to the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH), the definition of sexual harassment encompasses “unwanted sexual advances or visual, verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature.” This definition includes many forms of offensive behavior and includes gender-based harassment. Of course, the scope of all sexual harassment cannot be narrowed into a short definition, so the law allows room for malicious behaviors to qualify even if they’re unexpected. Is sexual harassment a state or federal problem? Both California and federal law must be considered before a sexual harassment complaint is filed. At the federal level, sex-based discrimination is unlawful based on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. On a state level, the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) expanded employee protection to include all sexual harassment, rather than just gender discrimination. Due to the broader legal definition, most employees in California will file a complaint under the FEHA, although they have the option to pursue either federal or state action. Does the law differentiate between different forms of sexual harassment? In a discussion of sexual harassment, you’re likely to encounter the terms “hostile environment” or “quid pro quo sexual harassment.” In previous cases, these terms have been used to differentiate between different types of experiences. These are not legal terms, nor are they written into the law; however, they do provide a framework for different types of sexual harassment cases. What is quid pro quo harassment? Quid pro quo harassment occurs when an unwanted advance is accompanied by an offer or a threat. The specifics of the situation can be subtler than that, and in fact, they often are. Many cases of quid pro quo harassment occur more implicitly. For example, if a supervisor suggests that you go out to an intimate dinner to discuss a possible promotion, there may be the implication of a quid pro quo offer. There is a strong suggestion that the promotion is contingent on the employee’s response to the offer or threat. The situation can also operate in reverse, where a supervisor suggests taking negative action if the employee does not submit to sexual advances. What is a hostile work environment? The other side of quid pro quo is a “hostile work environment.” A hostile work environment has an undeniable negative impact on your emotional well-being and overall quality of life. The strict definition describes a “pervasive” harassment, which is usually referring to a pattern of abuse. Within a hostile work environment, you may experience offensive behavior and intimidating actions or speech. A hostile work environment is generally only present in an extended period of abuse. However, sexual harassment does not need to be habitual in order to file a lawsuit. Remember that these terms are just words commonly used to talk about the experiences of victims. They do not represent an exclusive legal definition. That said, you can use them to help describe your experiences. What if the harassment happens virtually? Technology develops more quickly than the law can be rewritten to account for it. Unfortunately, virtual harassment is becoming increasingly common. In a recent study of online harassment, the Pew Research Center found 40 percent of adult Internet users have experienced harassment online, with women enduring the most severe language. Although no laws specifically govern online sexual harassment, you are still afforded protection under the FEHA. Unwanted graphic or sexual messages and images can contribute to a hostile work environment and can constitute quid pro quo harassment in some cases where a supervisor is attempting to influence an employee’s response. What if my position requires tasks that could be considered sexual harassment? Some positions may necessitate a great deal of overlap between professional and social life, as would be the case with a personal assistant or a live-in caretaker. Some unscrupulous employers may claim that the employment contract affords them protection for behaviors that qualify as sexual harassment. This simply is not the case. It’s important to know that you cannot be forced to honor a contract that does not comply with state or federal law. This means that if the described behavior would meet the threshold of sexual harassment, those clauses in your contract Personal Injury Attorney in Los Angeles - Blackstone Law Skip to content (310) 956-4054 | SE HABLA ESPANOL LinkedIn Facebook Yelp TikTok Instagram Google My Business HOME ABOUT US Meet The Team Trial Attorneys Jonathan Genish Matthew W.

Even with comprehensive insurance, medical bills can quickly accumulate. For many people, financial compensation is about more than just seeking justice, it’s vital to ensuring recovery. To obtain resources for recovery, you will likely need the services of a dedicated and experienced personal injury attorney. At Blackstone Law, our goal is to help you move forward through courtroom litigation or a financial settlement. Blackstone Law can help cut through the feelings of confusion and assess your legal options without putting you at risk for additional loss. We know that you have a long road ahead of you, and we’ll be with you every step of the way. Although we cannot lessen your pain, we can help you strengthen your case. We’ll begin by gathering all relevant details and immediately start planning and strategizing. The two major tenants of every personal injury case are liability and damages. Your personal injury attorney will work to establish the extent of damages (physical, psychological, financial, and emotional) as well as prove that the defendant is responsible for them. We represent your interests in all case matters, not just with the defendant but with the insurance company, the media, and any other parties with a stake in your case. The Legal System Old Injury Civil Lawsuits Affordable Advocacy The Legal System The Legal System In the legal system, there are no guarantees and no quick fixes. Many people have a strong basis for a personal injury or wrongful death case but avoid filing because of the perceived complexity and time investment. We know that your injury has disrupted your life and the life of your family, so we work to simplify the process at every turn. You may be eligible for compensation for physical pain and suffering, loss of love and companionship, rehabilitation costs, out of pocket expenses, and lost wages. Your personal injury attorney will work tirelessly to ensure you receive maximum compensation. If you’re suffering from an injury, we urge you to reach out for a free consultation. Old Injury Old Injury If you’re dealing with an old injury, you may still have a strong case. In California, the statute of limitations for a personal injury lawsuit is 1 year after the injury was discovered. This is a vital protection for many victims because the effects of an injury can worsen over time. If you’re considering a personal injury case for an old injury, you can consult with a personal injury attorney at no cost. If your injury is more recent, it’s important to begin the claims process as soon as possible. When you turn to Blackstone Law to represent you, you’ll receive proactive advocacy and compassionate guidance. We know the most important thing we can do for our clients is develop a case strategy that delivers results. Let us show you what we can do for you.

LOS ANGELES BICYCLE ACCIDENT LAWYER 1-855-STONE-55 | SE HABLA ESPAÑOL Los Angeles Bicycle Accident Lawyer Jonathan Genish 2023-09-27T12:46:53-07:00 LA Lawyers » Personal Injury » Bicycle Accident Bicycle Accident Lawyer E ven if you routinely utilize hand signals, ride in the bike lane, and invest in the proper protection, bicycle accidents can still happen. Unfortunately, bicycle accidents are becoming increasingly common, especially in urban areas. Worse still, California leads the nation as the state with the second highest number of cyclist fatalities each year. If you or a loved one were involved in an accident, you might need an experienced Los Angeles bicycle accident lawyer. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that bicycle accidents are on the rise. As of April 2018, bicycle accidents in Los Angeles have tripled since last year. This year, the city has already seen six cyclist fatalities according to Los Angeles Police Department Sgt. Roland Fogel. Worst of all, many of these fatalities occurred as a result of hit-and-run collisions. Perpetrators have driven both civilian and commercial vehicles, with one instance involving a FedEx delivery van that left the scene after striking and killing a woman on a bicycle. The Road to Recovery In the event of a bicycle/ motor vehicle collision , the effects are always more severe for the cyclist. Without the protective casing of a vehicle, cyclists endure the brunt of the impact. Even a slow-speed collision that would have been minor for two vehicles can become deadly for a cyclist. Cycling accidents can cause a myriad of injuries, including head trauma, neck and back injuries, fractures, lacerations, as well as internal injuries. Recovery is often a lengthy process, and you may be facing daunting rehabilitation, permanent disabilities, and extensive medical bills. The CDC reports that bicycle accidents create $10 billion in lifetime costs for cyclists. If you’ve been injured, a bicycle accident lawyer can help you pursue compensation. By far, most bicycle accidents occur as a result of motor vehicle driver negligence. The most common scenario is when a car turns right into the path of an oncoming cyclist with the right of way. California drivers also have a tendency to abuse bike lanes to pass other drivers or carelessly open their car door into the path of a cyclist in the bike lane. Furthermore, bike lanes may not always connect to sidewalks or other bike lanes, forcing cyclists to ride in central lanes. Unfortunately, many people have an internal bias against cyclists who exercise their right to use the roadways. This can make it more difficult to collect damages. At Blackstone Law, you’ll find a Los Angeles bicycle accident lawyer who will fight for your right to compensation. Why Blackstone Law? The Los Angeles bicycle accident lawyers at Blackstone Law will work tirelessly to hold the negligent driver accountable. We are here to help you understand the specifics of your case and answer all of your legal questions.

LOS ANGELES WRONGFUL DEATH LAWYER 1-855-STONE-55 | SE HABLA ESPAÑOL Los Angeles Wrongful Death Attorney Jonathan Genish 2023-09-27T12:35:12-07:00 LA Lawyers » Personal Injury » Wrongful Death Wrongful Death Attorney T he loss of a loved one is a devastating and traumatic experience for anyone. Unfortunately, this painful situation becomes even more difficult to navigate when this loss was caused by the negligence of another party. If you are suffering from a wrongful death, and if that death was caused by an accident, malpractice, or a preventable injury, you are entitled to seek justice for this tragedy. Wrongful death cases are often difficult to navigate emotionally. You may be feeling angry, frustrated and helpless. A wrongful death lawsuit is one way to push back against the injustice you have experienced. It allows you to hold those responsible for the death of your loved one accountable for their actions. In addition to seeking justice for the lost loved one, many families may need compensation to pay for unexpected expenses related to the loss. At Blackstone Law, our Los Angeles wrongful death attorneys have helped many families navigate through this process with care and understanding. Losing a loved one is always difficult. At Blackstone Law, you’ll find a wrongful death attorney who understands what you’re going through. We will be with you step by step through the entire process. The most important thing to remember is that it is not exploitative to seek compensation following a wrongful death. Compensation can be a very real part of the healing process. It provides your family with the resources you need for burial expenses, medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering. No amount of money will replace what you have lost, but it can help prevent further disruption in your life. Compensation is about providing support as you work to recover from a painful tragedy. Moreover, it allows you to hold the individual or company responsible accountable for their actions. Why Blackstone Law? At Blackstone Law, our Los Angeles wrongful death attorneys pride ourselves on putting our clients first. We work on contingency, which means that you will never pay upfront fees. Even if you choose not to retain our services, the legal advice our Los Angeles wrongful death attorneys provide is free of charge.
