Our office is home to an employment lawyer. We are in Los Angeles, but we take cases in Santa Monica and help people who have been wrongfully terminated find justice. We fight racial, religious, disability, and many other forms of discrimination.
We primarily serve those who have been wrongfully terminated by their employers. Wrongful termination can include, but is not limited to, being fired because of your race, religion, gender, age, and more. It does not matter which of these reasons you are fired for. It is against the law to fire someone solely for these reasons and the effects of your termination can have devastating effects on your life.
Santa Monica is a seaside city in western Los Angeles County. It has the twentieth largest population in the county and was founded long ago by the Tongva people. Eventually, in 1886, it was incorporated. Santa Monica is home to the famous Santa Monica Pier and Third Street Promenade. If you would like to learn more about Santa Monica, you can go to the city’s website or its Wikipedia page. Unfortunately, while this bustling city has many job opportunities, its residences still need the help of a Santa Monica employment lawyer.
