Fired for unlawful reasons?  California is an “at-will” state.  However, while an employer may terminate an employee for any lawful reason or even no reason, an employer may not terminate worker for an unlawful reason or one that violates public policy

Discrimination

Discrimination based upon race, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, gender expression, religious creed, mental disability, physical disability (includes HIV/AIDS), medical condition, military/veteran status, marital status, age, genetic characteristic, ancestry, or any combination of one or more of these factors, is unlawful

Retaliation

An employer cannot retaliate against an employee because that employee has complained about discrimination or harassment, or has requested accommodation of a religious practice, disability, or medical condition

Whistleblower

An employer cannot retaliate against an employee who has reported or complained about a suspected violation of the law, unsafe or unhealthful work conditions, failure to pay wages, and other protected activities

Wage & Hour

California offers some of the strongest worker wage protections in the country, even for non-documented workers.  All workers in California are entitled to be paid their fair wages

Civil Rights

Civil Rights are those basic human rights that are guaranteed to all persons by our State and Federal Constitutions, including the right to work, to be free of violence, to free speech, and other civil liberties

  • “After more than two decades of having Christina review my contracts, deal with my real estate as well as employee issues, and help me strategize through dozens of both personal and business situations, it is with complete authority that I can attest to Christina being the go-to legal person you want to have by your side… Period. She is a hard-hitting professional with quick-minded intellect and expertise that far surpasses expectations. She is incredibly efficient, organized, and perpetually on top of deadlines. What’s more is she is completely dedicated to her clients. Her strategy incorporates not just an expert grasp of the law but also of human psychology which turns out to be much more important than you might guess in legal situations, and as such she has saved me untold amounts of both time and grief simply by identifying a smarter approach right from the outset.”

    K. Priebe

  • “After over 15 years of dedication, I was seriously taken advantage by an ex employer. With the heart and prowess of a lioness, Christina succeeded in a big win for me ! With her on my side, justice prevailed. I am forever grateful to her!”

    Elizabeth

  • “I was a juror on one of Ms. Coleman’s trials, and saw her in action. She clearly came ready to fight for her client’s rights. Every day she was organized and ready to lay out the facts. The victory she achieved for her client was well earned.”

    Joseph D.

  • “Christina represented me after my second major car accident.  I had a head injury and lost a lot of memories.  What I will never forget, however, was how wonderfully she treated me.  She explained everything she was going to do with my case, step by step, and then took care of all the little details.  I appreciated all that she did for me.  She was a wonderful advocate.  I later referred a friend to her on a different type of case and she did amazing things for my friend.  I would highly recommend her for any case, big or small.”

    Cathy R. (Sergeant LAPD)

  • “Ms. Coleman has been an asset to my family’s personal affairs and our professional lives with regard to the smallest, as well as most complex legal matters we’ve entrusted her with. Each time, we have had the peace of mind that our matters were handled quickly, efficiently and with the utmost care, attention to detail, shrewdness, expert legal knowledge and and above all fearlessness on our behalf. Money well spent, our minds at rest and the outcomes delivered as expected.”

    Jose Rios (VP, KTTV-FOX retired)

  • “I contacted Christina Coleman after being in a car accident.  She worked my case right from the start and made the process easy and stress-free.  I didn’t have to do a thing.  She handled all the paperwork, phone calls, and negotiations.  This was important to me because I had surgery as a result of my accident and spent nearly a year in physical therapy.  Christina made a point of making sure I gave the go ahead to settle my case after I was fully recovered.  It was important to her to make sure I had the final word in my recovery process.  When it was time to settle my case Christina got me more than I expected.  Since settling my case, I have referred friends and family to her.  If you want a professional attorney who has your best interest at heart and will get you the settlement you deserve, I highly recommend you contact Christina.”
