Practice Areas Description

- Employment Law

Most people spend nearly a third of their waking hours at work. Accordingly, discrimination, retaliation, harassment or even simple employment disputes in the workplace are likely to have serious consequences reaching far beyond these hours. At Litt, Estuar & Kitson, LLP, in Los Angeles, California, we are committed to protecting the rights and interests of employees and employee groups.


- Severance Agreements

In difficult economic times, management-level employees are often the first targets for budget reduction. Rather than continuing to pay high salaries, a company may offer some of its most well-compensated employees a severance package in exchange what essentially amounts to a forced resignation. At Litt, Estuar & Kitson, LLP, we have significant experience representing middle and upper management employees in severance contract negotiations.


- Sexual Harassment

Whether overt or covert, sexual harassment is illegal and can have a significant mental and physical impact on its victims. At Litt, Estuar & Kitson, LLP, in Los Angeles, California, we strive to protect the rights of sexual harassment victims and help them achieve justice and equality in the workplace. Our attorneys have the skill and resources to effectively pursue sexual harassment cases and obtain compensation for victims.


- Employment Discrimination

Over the years, employment discrimination has changed in form. At one time, companies had specific policies that discriminated against racial and ethnic minorities and women. Today, companies rarely have overt policies that are expressly discriminatory. More often, the impact of a company policy is discriminatory, or a manager may discriminate against a group of people, rather than just one person.


- Wage and Hour Law

Often the end result is the misclassification of employees as exempt from overtime when they are not, a failure to provide legally-mandated meal and rest breaks, demands to continue working off-the-clock, failure to pay overtime hours worked and a failure to provide accurate pay stubs showing the full amount of time worked, the accurate pay rate and the correct amount of wages earned.


- Breach of Contract

A contract is an agreement between two parties; if one party fails to perform their obligations as agreed, the other deserves compensation for their damages. At Litt, Estuar & Kitson, LLP, in Los Angeles, California, our lawyers have significant experience working with executives and professionals to obtain compensation related to the breach of employment contracts.


- Pregnancy Discrimination

Women have made incredible gains in the workplace, but pregnancy discrimination is still pervasive in both the private and public sector. At Litt, Estuar & Kitson, LLP, in Los Angeles, California, our lawyers are absolutely committed to protecting the rights of employees. We have amassed a record featuring exceptional settlements and verdicts in all types of employment discrimination claims.


- Civil Rights

All the attorneys at Litt, Estuar & Kitson, LLP are committed to using the legal process to produce systemic change. Our focus on civil rights law covers a broad range of civil liberties matters that are protected by the United States Constitution, the California Constitution, and many other state and federal laws.


- Fair Housing Violations

Most people take for granted that they can live wherever they can afford. Since the passage of the Fair Housing Act and other civil rights laws, it has been illegal to discriminate in the sale, financing, or rental of housing because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.


- Class Actions

Class actions lawsuits allow a group of people who suffered similar injuries due to a single cause to pursue financial compensation or other remedies in a single action. At Litt, Estuar & Kitson, LLP, in Los Angeles, California, we have extensive experience handling state and federal class action lawsuits involving violations of civil rights and employment discrimination matters.


- Police Misconduct/Abuse of Force

When most people think of police misconduct, images come to mind of a person on the ground being beaten by one or more police officers. However, police misconduct and abuse of force are also caused by policies that lead to systematic civil rights violations, such as illegal strip searches and overdetention (keeping someone in jail after they have a right to release).


- Disability Discrimination

At Litt, Estuar & Kitson, LLP, in Los Angeles, California, our attorneys have extensive experience litigating cases involving disability discrimination. We are absolutely dedicated to protecting the rights of employees. Contact us today to discuss your legal claims.


- Criminal Justice Litigation

Constitutionally protected civil rights do not disappear once a person is arrested, charged, or even convicted of a crime. Every member of the criminal justice system, from the arresting officer to the prosecutors, judges, and prison guards, has an obligation to ensure people's civil rights are protected.
