Irvine Employment Lawyers

We Have the Legal Resources & Experience To Support You

Our team of experienced and reputable lawyers at Guardian Litigation Group, LLP is committed to using our firm’s extensive resources to help clients of all backgrounds take legal action for a variety of employment law violations, including wrongful termination, sexual harassment, discrimination, wage and hour violations, and whistleblower retaliation. We take great pride in using our legal insight to help clients throughout the greater Orange County area fight to protect their labor rights.

Comprehensive Employment Law Services

Workers in the state of California have the right to privacy, fair compensation, and to do their job in an environment that doesn’t encourage harassment and discrimination. However, many employers fail to respect these basic rights in the workplace and treat their workers poorly because they believe they can get away with it since they wield so much power over their employees.

We work hard to advocate for our clients' best interests and strive to resolve each case we take on with the best possible outcome. Our attorneys have decades of combined experience assisting workers in employment law disputes, and we will gladly provide the personalized representation you need to pursue your unique case goals.

Do you have questions or concerns regarding your treatment in the workplace? Do you think discrimination was the reason you were denied a job you qualified for? If so, our team is here to address your employment law matter so we can find the right solution for your situation. If you decide you would like us to represent you, you can trust we will advocate for you in an ethical and professional manner throughout each phase of the legal process.
