Why Los Angeles Employees Choose Abramson Labor Group
Los Angeles is one of the largest and most complex employment markets in the country. With millions of
workers spread across industries — from entertainment and hospitality to tech, healthcare, and construction — workplace violations happen every day. Many employees don’t realize their rights have been violated until it’s too late.
That’s where we come in. Abramson Labor Group was founded on a single principle: every worker in Los Angeles deserves access to aggressive, knowledgeable legal representation, regardless of their financial
situation. Our contingency-based model removes the financial barrier entirely, so you can pursue justice without worrying about upfront costs or legal fees.
Our firm has earned recognition from Super Lawyers, and our attorneys are known throughout the Los Angeles legal community for their dedication to clients and their willingness to take on even the most powerful employers.
Employment Law Cases We Handle in Los Angeles
Our Los Angeles employment lawyers represent workers across a wide range of workplace disputes. Here are the practice areas we fight for every day.
Wrongful Termination
California is an at-will employment state, but that doesn’t mean your employer can fire you for any reason. If you were terminated because you reported illegal activity, filed a workers’ compensation claim, took legally protected leave, or for any reason that violates state or federal law, you may have a wrongful termination case. Our attorneys have a strong track record of holding Los Angeles employers accountable for unlawful firings.
Workplace Discrimination
Discrimination in the workplace takes many forms, and California law provides broad protections for employees. Our Los Angeles employment lawyers handle discrimination cases involving:
- Racial Discrimination — Unfair treatment, harassment, or termination based on race, ethnicity, or national origin
- Gender Discrimination — Unequal pay, denied opportunities, or adverse treatment based on gender or gender identity
- Age Discrimination — Targeting employees over 40 with layoffs, demotions, or forced retirement
- Disability Discrimination — Failure to provide reasonable accommodations or terminating employees due to a physical or mental disability
- Pregnancy Discrimination — Adverse actions against employees who are pregnant, on maternity leave, or dealing with related medical conditions
- Religious Discrimination — Refusal to accommodate religious practices or penalizing employees for their beliefs
If you’ve been passed over for promotions, subjected to unfair treatment, demoted, or fired because of who you are, our Los Angeles discrimination lawyers can help you take action.
Sexual Harassment
No one should have to endure sexual harassment at work. Whether you’ve experienced unwanted advances, inappropriate comments, quid pro quo demands, or a pervasive pattern of sexually charged behavior that has created a hostile work environment, our employment lawyers in Los Angeles will work to hold the responsible parties accountable and pursue the damages you deserve.
Wage and Overtime Disputes
Unpaid overtime, withheld wages, misclassification as an independent contractor, missed meal and rest breaks — these are some of the most common employment violations in Los Angeles. California has some of the strongest wage and hour protections in the nation, and our attorneys know how to use them to recover the compensation you’re owed.
Retaliation
Employees are legally protected when they report unsafe working conditions, file complaints about discrimination or harassment, participate in workplace investigations, or exercise other legal rights. If your employer punished you for doing the right thing — through demotion, termination, reduced hours, or other adverse actions — that’s illegal retaliation, and we can help.
Whistle Blower Protection
California provides strong protections for employees who report their employer’s illegal conduct, regulatory violations, fraud, or threats to public safety. If you’ve blown the whistle on wrongdoing and your employer has retaliated against you, our Los Angeles whistle blower attorneys will fight to protect your rights and pursue compensation for the harm you’ve suffered.
Workers’ Compensation
If you were injured on the job or became ill because of workplace conditions, you have the right to workers’ compensation benefits. Our Los Angeles workers’ compensation attorneys help employees secure medical treatment, lost wage recovery, and disability benefits when employers or insurance companies push back on legitimate workplace injury claims.
Personal Injury
Beyond employment disputes, Abramson Labor Group represents individuals who have been harmed due to negligence or wrongful conduct. Our Los Angeles personal injury attorneys handle cases including:
- Wrongful Death — When the negligence or misconduct of another party results in the loss of a loved one, we fight to secure justice and compensation for surviving family members.
- Slip, Trip, and Fall Accidents — Property owners and businesses have a legal obligation to maintain safe premises. If dangerous conditions caused your injury, we can help you hold them accountable.
- Product Liability — Defective or dangerous products that cause injury can give rise to a product liability claim against the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer.
- Car Accidents — If you’ve been injured in a car accident caused by another driver’s negligence, our attorneys will work to recover damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain, and suffering.
How California Employment Law Protects Los Angeles Workers
California offers some of the strongest employee protections in the United States. As Los Angeles employment lawyers, we work within a legal framework that includes:
The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) protects employees from discrimination and harassment based on a wide range of characteristics and applies to employers with five or more employees — a much broader scope than federal law.
The California Labor Code sets strict requirements around wages, overtime, meal and rest periods, and final pay. Violations can result in significant penalties for employers.
The Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) allows employees in California to file lawsuits on behalf of themselves and other workers for Labor Code violations, acting essentially as a private attorney general.
Whistleblower protections under California Labor Code Section 1102.5 shield employees from retaliation for reporting violations of state or federal law.
Understanding these laws and how they apply to your specific situation requires an employment attorney with deep experience in California’s legal landscape. Our team at Abramson Labor Group has spent years litigating cases under these statutes across Los Angeles courts.

Frequently Asked Questions
At Abramson Labor Group, it costs you nothing upfront. We take cases on a contingency basis, which means we only collect a fee if we win your case through a settlement or court verdict. Your initial consultation is completely free.
If you believe you’ve been treated unfairly at work — whether through termination, discrimination, unpaid wages, harassment, or retaliation — you may have a valid claim. The best way to find out is to contact our Los Angeles office for a free case evaluation. Our attorneys will review your situation and advise you on your options.
Deadlines vary depending on the type of claim. Discrimination and harassment complaints filed through the California Civil Rights Department generally must be filed within three years of the incident. Wage claims may have different deadlines. The sooner you contact an employment lawyer, the better your chances of preserving your rights.
No. California law protects employees who report illegal activity, unsafe conditions, or workplace violations. If your employer fires you, demotes you, or takes any adverse action against you for making a report, that constitutes illegal retaliation — and you may have grounds for a lawsuit.
Not necessarily. Many employment law cases are resolved through negotiation or settlement before a case ever reaches trial. However, if your employer refuses to offer a fair resolution, our Los Angeles employment lawyers are fully prepared to take your case to court.
