Employment Law
Standing Up For The Workers Of California
We Hold Employers Accountable
Employers have a duty to treat their workers with respect and to honor their federally protected rights. If your employer has violated your rights by refusing to pay your wages, threatening to have you deported, or discriminating against you, it is time to get help from the Law Office of Richard J. Meechan
Our employment law attorneys have more than 30 combined years of experience protecting the rights of people in all industries, from agriculture to machinery. From our office location in Santa Rosa, we serve workers throughout California, including Sonoma County, Mendocino County, Lake County, and more.
Cases We Handle
We have successfully handled just about every type of employment law problem you can think of. Some of the most common issues we see include:
Workplace Discrimination
Any type of descrimination at work based on race, gender, nation of origin, religion, disability, and age is illegal; contact our Santa Rosa discrimination attorneys for just compensation.
Sexual Harassment
Unwanted verbal or physical contact by an employer or coworker is unacceptable and against the law. Let our Santa Rosa sexual harassment lawyer hold those reponsible accountable.
Workers Comp Retaliation
Your employer may not reduce your hours, withold wages, threaten you, fire you, or take any other forms of retaliation against you if you have been hurt on the job.
Wrongful Termination
Any other type of wrongful termination may be handled by our experienced attorneys. This includes:
- Whistle blower retaliation
- Breach of contract
- Termination due to a medical condition
- Forced to quit due to hostile work environment (constructive discharge)
Safety Violations
Safety at work should be a given. If an employer knowingly violates safety regulations in favor of profit, deadlines, etc., you have the right to file a claim against them. Let our Santa Rosa attorneys assist you in pursuing legal action.
Stolen Wages
Wage theft costs US workers tens of billions of dollars every year. It can take many forms, including:
- hourly pay below minimum wage
- witholding overtime pay
- suspension of benefits
- being asked to work “off the clock” or skip breaks
What If Your Employer Threatens To Deport You?
Sometimes, employers threaten to have their workers deported for speaking up about labor law violations. Even if your supervisor or coworkers have threatened to report you to law enforcement, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (I.C.E.) or the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (U.S.C.I.S.), you still have rights. It is against federal law for an employer to retaliate against immigrants by threatening their status.
