Berkeley

As a Berkeley employment law attorney, Spencer C. Young understands the issues employees face in the workplace today, and that the thought of filing a job discrimination or wrongful termination lawsuit can be intimidating. Whether you are the victim of sexual harassment, have not been paid overtime wages or expenses you feel you are entitled to, our firm provides the outstanding legal guidance and support you deserve to help you make important decisions in regards to potential violations of your rights as a current or former employee.

Employees often fear that if they file a lawsuit against an employer or “rock the boat” in any way, they may be terminated, or their employer may make their life difficult. Regardless, we advocate on behalf of employees in Berkeley who have issues such as reimbursement of expenses, on-the-job injuries, who have been discriminated because of age, race, religious affiliations, sexual orientation, and more. Whether you are considering a sexual harassment lawsuit, wrongful termination lawsuit, or believe you have grounds for a job discrimination lawsuit, we will thoroughly review your case to determine all of your legal options, and how best to proceed in order to reach your desired outcome.

As an experienced and skilled Berkeley employment law attorney, Spencer C. Young knows the lengths many employers will go to today to protect their own interests. In fact, many employers classify employees in a way to avoid paying them overtime. Sexual harassment is also very common in the workplace, whether by those in positions of authority, or other co-workers. It is against the law to discriminate against employees based on race, ethnicity, age, gender, and other factors – yet employers do it every day. Unfortunately, many employees are afraid to speak up for themselves, or take action against their employers in fear of retaliation. If you are considering a severance lawsuit or overtime wages lawsuit, we can provide the answers you need.

You do your job and should be paid fairly. Unfortunately, this is not always how it works. Employers are often most concerned about their own profits, rather than employee issues.
