Attorneys for Employees
At the Ungerman Law Offices, our legal practice focuses on representing victims of illegal workplace discrimination and retaliation (which includes wrongful termination or discipline and whistle blowing), illegal harassment (including sexual or gender harassment) and wage and hour violations, failure to provide or illegal interference with protected leaves such as FMLA and CFRA. For every client we accept, we devise a course of action tailored to their situation, needs, and desires, which can range from cease and desist letters, review and negotiations of pre-litigation severance agreements, pre-litigation settlements, to full blown litigation.
When you have been wronged by your employer - the impact can be devastating. You are angry, upset, afraid, and sad, probably all at the same time. Our goal is to treat every client like they are our only client. We take pains to communicate with you regarding your case and the legal issues involved in order to achieve the best solution for you.

Unlike many law firms who merely add employment law to a laundry list of practice areas or squeeze it in to augment their personal injury practice we specialize in this field. The truth is: the practice of employment law is not easy and there are many pitfalls for the unsuspecting. We spend the time to know the current law and understand your case. Always maintaining a pragmatic approach, we will craft a plan to obtain the goals of each client. If a court battle is necessary, then we are prepared to fight for you and your rights based on the situation of each client.
Representative Cases:
Recently we have been approached by clients who were being "laid off" and were asked to sign severance agreements. These clients believed they were being illegally discriminated or retaliated against and the evidence appeared to suggest such was the case. We were able to achieve a settlement of their claims on much better terms than they were initially offered, making their investment in an attorney well worth it.
We have successfully represented clients who refused to participate in illegal conduct and were terminated because of their refusal, or complained about illegal conduct and were terminated because of their complaints.
We have obtained settlements for clients who had been subjected to pregnancy discrimination, and who have been discriminated against because they were going to or did use protected leave such as FMLA or CFRA leave.
