Below are the areas of employee rights law that we regularly represent in Walnut Creek, CA: 

Employment Discrimination

The employer-employee relationship is regulated by federal and state law. When employment disputes arise over FMLA leave, wage and hour matters, or even workplace harassment and discrimination, the employment discrimination attorneys of Vanegas Law Group are here to aggressively pursue justice on your behalf.  

Disability Rights

In today’s generation, more and more opportunities are available for the handicapable thanks to employment protections now in place. However, this still has not ended discrimination against this group. Because of this reality, our employment discrimination attorneys have regularly advocated on behalf of individuals in this recognized class. If your employer failed to make reasonable accommodation for your disability or terminated you due to your condition, please allow us to represent you and hold them liable for their violation of your rights. 

General Civil Litigation

The Civil Rights Act, along with other state and federal legislation, protect your civil rights from being infringed upon. This includes your employer, regardless of age, race, religion, disability, gender, or other protected characteristic. If you were wrongfully denied housing or the opportunity to do business because of discrimination, that too is illegal under the many laws governing such actions. Our attorneys regularly pursue remedies for underrepresented groups of people, including immigrants and minorities. As a firm led by an immigrant woman, these matters hit close to our hearts, and we are here to advise you.
