Practice Areas Description

We provide legal representation and services in the following areas of employment law:

- Discrimination

Filing a discrimination claim against your employer can be intimidating. You must file the appropriate forms with the designated agencies by certain deadlines and in a particular format. In addition to the legal challenges of filing a claim, you must also confront your employer and face employee gossip, which can be a truly difficult thing to do. For this reason, it is important to have an experienced attorney that you can turn to for help. The law offices of Mann & Elias can help you file claims with agencies that enforce regulations on employee rights, like the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the California Department of Justice, and be the strong legal advocate you need during this difficult time.

- Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment is a legal form of sex discrimination that, sadly, affects thousands of people in the workforce every year. While sexual harassment may be subtle and psychological, it may also be overt and physical. When sexual harassment turns to sexual assault or battery it is imperative to seek legal advice as soon as possible. Victims of sexual battery should talk to an experienced Los Angeles attorney to pursue legal action for the compensation and peace of mind they need. If you believe that you are a victim of sexual harassment, it is important to follow your company’s grievance process and alert an attorney of your situation. At the law offices of Mann & Elias, our sexual harassment lawyers in Los Angeles have the experience needed to prove difficult sexual harassment claims.

- Whistleblowing

Under California law, employers generally may not retaliate against employees that “blow the whistle” on illegal practices such as discrimination, safety violations, mismanagement, false claims, misuse of funds, wage and hour violations or any other type of criminal activity. And, yet, employer retaliation seems to be the norm rather than the exception when it comes to whistleblowers. If you have blown the whistle on illegal practices you observed in your company and, as a result, have been demoted, fired or endured an adverse working environment that caused you to quit, you may be able to pursue legal action against your employer. At the law offices of Mann & Elias, we are proud to represent clients who take a chance on telling the truth at the risk of losing their job.

- Wages and Overtime Violations

At the law offices of Mann & Elias, our employment lawyers believe that people who work hard, put in overtime or are asked to skip lunches and meals, should be rewarded for their efforts by their employers full compliance with wage laws and payment of proper overtime—on time. When employers misclassify employees in an attempt to make them exempt from overtime pay or do not provide legally mandated time off for breaks, they are in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Our attorneys have the skill and experience you need to receive justice from your employer. Our straightforward, yet creative approach to law separates us from the rest, as we are able to look at a claim from different angles to come up with the very best approach for a specific situation.

- Wrongful Termination

Wrongful termination claims can be difficult to prove and those who have been victimized by their employer’s illegal behavior need an experienced attorney who is not only a skilled negotiator, but a tenacious advocate and aggressive litigator. At the law offices of Mann & Elias, we have been practicing employment law for over 10 years. Our experience and thorough knowledge of this field have allowed us to thrive in this complex area of law. Our wrongful termination attorneys in Los Angeles are here to help you understand the rights that you have as an employee and help you fight for justice if those rights have been violated. Our attorneys can help you understand if you have a legitimate wrongful termination claim and assist you in taking legal action for the justice you are entitled to under law.
