Employment Law
Your Employer Has Lawyers. So Should You.
Rosewood Law represents California employees in disputes with employers of all sizes — from startups to major corporations. We are exclusively on the employee's side.
Our Approach
Employee-Side Advocacy in California
California provides some of the strongest employee protections in the nation — but those protections only mean something when they are enforced. Rosewood Law represents workers who have experienced unlawful treatment in the workplace and helps them pursue accountability and fair compensation.
Employment matters are often complex, emotionally charged, and time-sensitive. We work to understand the full picture of what happened, advise you on your options, and pursue your case with the same strategic rigor we bring to every matter.
Many employment cases are handled on a contingency or hybrid fee basis. We discuss fee arrangements transparently at your initial consultation, which is always free.

Employment Matters We Handle
Types of Employment Cases
Wrongful Termination
California is an at-will employment state, but employers may not terminate employees for unlawful reasons — including discrimination, retaliation, or in violation of an employment contract. If you were let go under suspicious circumstances, you may have a claim.
Workplace Discrimination
California's Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) prohibits discrimination based on race, gender, age, disability, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, and other protected characteristics. We represent employees who have been treated unequally because of who they are.
Sexual & Workplace Harassment
Harassment creates a hostile work environment and violates California law. Whether the conduct came from a supervisor, colleague, or customer, employers can be held legally responsible when harassment is reported and not adequately addressed.
Retaliation
California law protects employees who report unlawful conduct, file complaints, or assert their rights in the workplace. If you experienced adverse action after raising a concern, you may be entitled to pursue a retaliation claim.
Wage & Hour Violations
Employees are entitled to proper pay, overtime, meal and rest breaks, and accurate wage statements under California law. Misclassification, wage theft, and off-the-clock work are common violations that we investigate and pursue.
Employment Disputes & Severance
Whether you are reviewing a severance agreement, disputing a non-compete clause, or navigating the aftermath of a difficult workplace situation, we provide strategic counsel to protect your rights and interests.
Important Notice
Filing Deadlines Are Critical
Many employment claims in California require filing a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department (CRD) or the EEOC before you can file a lawsuit. These administrative deadlines are strict — missing them can permanently bar your claims. If you believe your rights have been violated, contact us promptly.
Nothing on this page constitutes legal advice or creates an attorney-client relationship. Deadline rules vary by claim type.
