Practice Areas Description

- Employment Law

Since 1985, the law firm of Patton Wolan Carlise LLP has represented employees in Oakland and throughout the Bay Area in California. We pride ourselves on providing personal attention and aggressive representation to people who have been wronged in the workplace.

- Brain & Spinal Cord Injury

The law firm of Patton Wolan Carlise LLP has represented accident victims in Oakland and throughout the Bay Area in California since 1985. We pride ourselves on providing personal attention and aggressive representation to people who have been wronged.

- Sexual Harassment

Victims of sexual harassment often feel as embarrassed as they do violated. Some are hesitant to talk about it. Others wonder what they did to bring this onto themselves. If you have been the victim of sexual harassment, it is important to know that you did not do anything wrong. You have the right to take action. We can help.

- Unpaid Overtime

You have the right to expect payment for the time you put in at your job. Unfortunately, there are employers who, either intentionally or unintentionally, do not fairly compensate their employees for all of the work they do. If you have not been paid for overtime or have been forced to work through lunch and rest breaks, you may have the right to file a wage and hour claim.

- Workplace Retaliation

Victims of discrimination, sexual harassment and other forms of wrongdoing in the workplace often hesitate to take action because they fear retaliation from their employers. Unfortunately, there are employers that will retaliate against employees for complaining about wrongdoing in the workplace. Retaliation is illegal in these situations and employers can be held accountable.

- Family and Medical Leave Act

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the California family rights Act (CFRA) give employees the right to take time off due to their own health condition or due to the health condition of an immediate family member, such as a child, a spouse or a parent. If your FMLA or CFRA rights have been violated by your employer, the law allows you the opportunity to seek compensation.

- Wrongful Termination

In California, employers generally have the right to terminate employees for nearly any reason they want. The reasons for termination are often perceived as unfair. That does not necessarily mean it is illegal. Termination is only illegal if it is based on an employee's membership in a protected class (age, sexual orientation, gender, marital status, religion, national origin, race, color, pregnancy, medical condition or disability). Then it is discrimination and is considered wrongful termination.

- Age Race Gender Discrimination

The law is very clear. Employers cannot terminate you, fail to hire you, fail to promote you or discriminate against you in any way because you are a member of a protected class. In other words, you cannot be discriminated against because of:

Disability
Pregnancy
Race or color
National origin
Religion
Gender or sex
Sexual orientation
Age
Marital status
