Why You Should Use An Employment Attorney
The answer depends to many factors that makes hiring and working with an attorney even more overwhelming. The legal cost is an important consideration, but that always must be weighed against the cost of not hiring legal counsel. When it comes to employment law, a good attorney can help protect your rights whether you are an employee or a business owner who has been sued by a former employee. The claims in the employment law matters come in a variety of forms requiring different strategies before any outcome could be obtained. The conclusion of employment matters could be achieved at different stage depending on the strength or weaknesses of the claims, or defenses, parties’ financial commitments, and their subjective (read emotional) positions.
At Mostafavi Law Group, APC, we represent business owners or employers who are being sued by their current or former employees, and the employees who have claims against their current or former employer based on a wide variety of California substantive laws.
Do you need to hire an employment attorney?
You do not need to retain an attorney for every legal matter you face at work, such as accepting a job offer or asking for a raise, but certain disputes and procedures are much more successful with the help of an attorney. An example that frequently lead to hiring an attorney is when your employer is about to fire you and give you a severance payment. In exchange for accepting the payment, you are asked to sign a waiver and release of all your claims – regardless of type, form, label, known or unknown covering your employment period up to the date of signing. Other example is when you are faced with intolerable hostile environment at work, and you do not whether you should just quit, or stay and suffer more. In other situations, you either know, or have reasonable belief that you are not getting all wages you are owed, or being treated equally and similarly in compare with other employees. Also, you probably need an attorney if you’re trying to recover lost wages or job security, have a dispute over family and medical leave, or have a discrimination claim.
The most important thing to remember is that employers usually almost always have legal representation in one form or another, whether through in-house counsel, or retaining outside counsel to represent them in particular lawsuits they are faced.
