Employment Law Services for Sacramento-based Workers

Colby Law Firm is licensed to represent clients throughout California, including employees and independent contractors based in Sacramento. We focus exclusively on employment law and handle a wide range of workplace disputes under both state and federal law. If you’re facing a serious issue at work—such as discrimination, unpaid wages, or wrongful termination—our team has the experience to help you understand whether legal action may be appropriate.

The sections below outline some of the most common employment law issues we review for California workers.

Wrongful Termination and Retaliation

Both California and federal law protect workers from being fired or punished for asserting their rights. If you believe your employer retaliated against you or wrongfully terminated your employment, you may have grounds to pursue a claim.

Harassment

Harassment may involve bullying, intimidation, or other behavior that makes your work environment feel unsafe — especially when it’s based on protected characteristics like race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation. If you believe you’ve experienced workplace harassment, Colby Law may be able to help you understand your legal options.

Discrimination

California and federal law protect employees from discrimination based on protected traits such as age, race, gender, religion, or disability. Discrimination can appear in many forms, from denial of promotions to wrongful termination. If you believe you’ve experienced discrimination, you may wish to speak with an attorney.

Overtime and Unpaid Wages

California law entitles employees to full and fair pay for all hours worked, including overtime. If you believe your employer has withheld pay, failed to pay overtime, or underreported your hours, you may be entitled to recover unpaid wages.

Hourly or Salary Pay

Pay disputes can arise from misclassification, minimum wage violations, or inaccurate hour tracking. If you’re missing wages or benefits you believe you earned, an employment attorney may be able to help you explore your legal options.

Failure to Accommodate

California and federal laws require employers to provide reasonable accommodations for qualified workers with disabilities. If you believe your employer failed to accommodate your needs, you may benefit from discussing your situation with an attorney.
