Retaliation

Defending Workers Against Hostile Employers

!

The Law Offices of Eric A. Boyajian aggressively protects California employees who face illegal retaliation after speaking up. If you were fired, demoted, disciplined, isolated, or punished because you complained about harassment, discrimination, unpaid wages, unsafe conditions, requested accommodations, or took protected leave, we hold employers fully accountable. We handle every retaliation case on pure contingency - you pay nothing unless we win - and one call to our office typically stops the retaliation immediately.

Is your Employer Retaliating Against you for Standing up for your Rights?

That’s Illegal Retaliation — and It Pays Big in California.


California has the strongest anti-retaliation laws in the country. If your employer cut your hours, wrote you up, demoted you, moved your desk, or fired you because you did any of these normal, protected things — you probably have a case:


You Did Something 100% Legal & Protected

Then They Punished You → Retaliation

Complained about harassment or discrimination

Suddenly “performance issues” appear

Asked for overtime or meal breaks

Hours cut or schedule changed to nights/weekends

Took medical leave, pregnancy leave, or CFRA/FMLA

Came back to a demotion or worse territory

Reported safety problems or illegal activity

Put on a PIP the next week

Filed a workers’ comp claim

“Laid off” two weeks later

Requested reasonable accommodation (disability, religion, pregnancy)

Manager starts mocking you or isolating you

Told HR “this feels like discrimination”

Transferred, disciplined, or terminated
