Can I be fired for taking legal action against my employer?

In the state of California, you are protected from retaliation if you are a covered individual who has performed a protected activity. To learn more about retaliation, please click here.

What constitutes sexual harassment?

Sexual harassment is when someone is subjected to unwelcome sexual advances in the workplace. This can include physical or verbal sexual behavior. If you are not sure if you have a workplace sexual harassment case on your hands and your employer has failed to assist you, please seek the help of Polaris Law Group.

I haven't been paid for work I did off the clock. Do I have an unpaid wage claim?

It is very likely that you have grounds to file an unpaid wage claim if you have done work off the clock. Bill Marder can carefully evaluate your case to determine if you have a case on your hands. If so, he will help you pursue the money that you are owed.

Why should I hire Polaris Law Group to represent me?

You should consider retaining Bill Marder's services because he is a proven and highly respected Silicon Valley employment attorney. He has recovered millions of dollars on behalf of wrongfully terminated employees and those who were owed wages. He can handle even the most complex employment cases, including the very ones that other law firms turn away. As his client, you can feel at ease knowing that your case is in good hands.

How much can I expect to pay in legal fees?

Polaris Law Group accepts employment law cases on a contingency fee basis. This means that you don't have to pay legal fees unless Attorney Marder recovers money for your case. You can retain his legal services without having to worry about your financial situation.

Can an employer deny unpaid time off in California?

Yes, there is no law in California that requires employers to approve any unpaid time off request. However, there are certain situations of illness or family crisis that guarantee the protection of your job status under the Federal Family and Medical Leave Act, such as pregnancy.
