Our Expertise

Our law firm offers a wide range of legal services, tailored to meet the unique needs of our clients. Our areas of expertise include:

DISCRIMINATION

The law prohibits discrimination against employees based on their membership in a protected class. A protected class can include race, religion, age, sexual orientation, disability, pregnancy status, and other protected characteristics. Not only does the law provide protection against firing, but it also provides protection against misfavoring or other mistreatment, such as demotions or reassignments.

HARASSMENT

Harassment in the workplace can make your workdays miserable, and you have a right to be protected from such conduct. Harassment can include sexual harassment, such as derogatory comments, lewd jokes, or unwanted sexual advances. Additionally, harassment can lead to a hostile work environment. If you are the victim of such harassment, you may be entitled to damages, including lost wages, emotional distress, and other monetary compensation.

HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT

A hostile work environment arises when hostile, abusive, or offensive actions take place that target certain protected characteristics of employees, such as age, race, religion, and many others. Hostile work environments can be created by offensive jokes, discriminatory remarks, slurs, or other intimidating behavior. Employers who tolerate hostile work environments can be on the hook for big penalties.

WAGE AND HOUR VIOLATIONS

Employers are legally obligated to pay earned wages to their employees within a certain period of time. If you are terminated or resign from a job and your employer tries to hold money that you have already earned, you have a right to file a claim. Some employees are also legally entitled to overtime pay when they work more than 40 hours in a single week. Sparrow Law Group can help you with any type of wage and hour dispute.

RETALIATION

Retaliation occurs when an employee faces some negative consequence for participating in protected behavior. Examples of protected behavior include reporting discrimination, reporting harassment, whistleblowing, and refusing to engage in illegal conduct. Retaliation can be as extreme as termination or as simple as giving the employee an increased workload without a valid reason. Retaliation should never be tolerated, and we can help you if you have been the victim of retaliation in the workplace.

WHISTLEBLOWERS

If you suspect that your employer is violating the law or subjecting its employees to unsafe working conditions, you should be allowed to report those suspicions in good faith without fear of repercussions. California protects whistleblowers from termination or other forms of retaliation, and whistleblowers are also protected even if they move to a new employer. If you have been retaliated against after reporting a suspected violation, our team can help you get the compensation you are owed.

WRONGFUL TERMINATION

Similar to retaliation, wrongful termination occurs when an employee is terminated because of their participation in a protected behavior or because of their membership in a protected class. For instance, firing someone due to their race, age, sexual orientation, or other protected characteristics is against the law. If you feel you have been wrongfully terminated, let us help you hold your former employer accountable.
