Employment Lawyers in California

Losing your job or being treated unlawfully at work can put your income, reputation, and future at risk. When employers cross the line, we fight for employees' legal rights.

​

At Gomerman | Bourn & Associates, we represent employees throughout California in employment disputes, with a focus on wrongful termination and related workplace violations. We pursue claims against employers who engage in unlawful conduct and work to recover compensation for the harm our clients have suffered.

​

Workplace issues often don’t start with termination. Discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wage violations can escalate over time. When those issues result in termination or other actionable harm we take legal action.

Understanding the Employment Law Process in California
 

Employment claims in California often begin with determining whether an employer’s conduct violates state or federal law. This may involve reviewing employment records, internal communications, company policies, and the timeline leading up to termination or other adverse action.
 

Some claims must be filed with an administrative agency before proceeding in court, while others may be brought directly as civil actions. Deadlines vary depending on the type of claim, and missing them can bar recovery.
 

If a case cannot be resolved through pre-litigation efforts, it may proceed to arbitration or litigation. We handle the process from claim evaluation through resolution, including settlement negotiations and, when necessary, litigation.

For matters we take on, we handle each stage of the case with a focus on achieving a meaningful outcome. Our team has experience pursuing claims through trial and even on appeal.
