The California-licensed attorneys of GUZMÁN & TOKAR LLP exclusively serve employee-plaintiffs in the fields of labor and employment law in matters including discrimination, harassment, and retaliation, wrongful termination, and wage and hour issues.

Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation

Our attorneys represent employees who have been the victims of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation at work. California and federal laws prohibit employers from discriminating against or harassing individuals on the basis of sex, age, race, disability, and other factors when hiring, firing, promoting, disciplining, or making other employment decisions. These laws also prohibit employers from retaliating against workers who have complained about discrimination or harassment, filed a lawsuit or charge with a government agency such as the Labor Board, or participated in an investigation.

The following factors, among others, are protected categories under California and/or federal discrimination laws:

  • Race
  • Age
  • Religion
  • Sex/Gender/Gender Identity
  • Pregnancy
  • Disability
  • Sexual Orientation

If you believe that you have experienced discrimination, harassment, or retaliation at work, please contact us for a free consultation.

You're not alone. We can help.

Whistleblower Retaliation

California and federal laws make it unlawful to harass or to discriminate against or retaliate against individuals who have asserted legal claims or complaints against their employers or who have reported unlawful activity or safety violations to either their supervisor at work or to a government agency.

If you believe that you were the victim of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation for blowing the whistle on illegal activity, please contact us for a free consultation.

Wage and Hour

It is unlawful under California wage and hour laws for your employer to fail to pay you overtime at the rate of one and a half times your hourly rate when you work more than 8 hours in a day or more than 40 hours in a week. California workers are also entitled uninterrupted meal and rest breaks, depending on the lengths of their shifts.

If you believe that you did not receive your overtime compensation or were not allowed to take uninterrupted meal or rest breaks, please contact us for a free consultation.

Whatever your questions, we are here for you.

Personal Injury

Personal Injury claims arise when someone is injured because of another’s negligence or intentional wrongdoing. Victims of personal injuries can pursue lawsuits against the culpable party to recover for their economic and/or noneconomic damages. Economic damages can include medical expenses, lost wages, lost household services, vocational rehabilitation, property damages, out-of-pocket expenses, and lost earning capacity. And noneconomic damages may include pain, emotional anguish, humiliation, reputational damage, loss of enjoyment of activities, or worsening of prior injuries.

If you believe that you did not receive your overtime compensation or were not allowed to take uninterrupted meal or rest breaks, please contact us for a free consultation.

Contact us anytime for a free consultation. No pressure, no sales pitch.

Evictions & Habitability

An eviction begins when a landlord attempts to re-possess a unit occupied by a tenant. Whether an eviction is lawful or wrongful depends on a host of complicated factors, including type of tenancy, location of the tenancy, reasons for the eviction, and other specificities.

While California has broad state-wide eviction protections, some cities have more strict requirements that limit when and how a landlord terminates a tenancy. For example, San Francisco, Oakland, Richmond, and Berkeley have each implemented their own laws controlling evictions within their respective cities. As such, both landlords and tenants should consult an attorney before, during, and after the eviction process.

If you believe that you did not receive your overtime compensation or were not allowed to take uninterrupted meal or rest breaks, please contact us for a free consultation.
