15 employment attorneys practise in Oakland, covering discrimination and harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, unpaid wages and overtime, leave and accommodation, non-compete agreements and severance negotiation.
Ask whether the firm represents employees, employers or both — it shapes the advice and occasionally creates a conflict.
If you are still employed, preserve documents now: emails, reviews, schedules and pay records usually disappear the day access is switched off. And never sign a severance agreement before someone has read it.
