No Recovery, No Fee. This is your way to the Courthouse steps 

Most employees are priced out of the law market. Hiring a lawyer by the hour simply isn’t realistic due to the high fees. Particularly when you’re out of work, the last thing you can afford is to pay hundreds of dollars an hour to petition the court.  That’s why our firm operates on a contingency fee basis. A model designed to provide dignified access to justice for working people. 

Justice Without Upfront Costs

Our commitment is simple: no recovery, no fee. You pay nothing in attorney’s fees unless we successfully recover compensation on your behalf. This arrangement opens the courthouse doors to those otherwise shut out by financial barriers. It ensures that your ability to seek justice doesn’t depend on your bank account, but on the strength of your case and the fairness of the law. 

Free Initial Case Evaluation

Every potential client begins with a free consultation. We evaluate your claims, discuss your options, and give you an honest assessment of your case — all at no cost or obligation. This conversation helps you understand your rights without the pressure of financial commitment. 

How Contingency Fees Work 

Under a contingency agreement, our payment depends entirely on your success. If we achieve a settlement or verdict in your favor, our fees are a percentage of the total recovery. If there’s no recovery, you owe us nothing for attorney’s fees. This structure ensures our interests are fully aligned with yours. We’re motivated to fight hard because your victory is our victory. 

When the Employer Pays Your Attorney’s Fees 

In many California employment cases, including those based on FEHA discrimination and retaliation, whistleblower claims and wage and hour violations, the law allows courts to order the employer to pay the employee’s attorney’s fees if the employee wins. 

When that happens, those court-awarded fees are credited against the contingency fee, meaning you keep more of your recovery. In other words, if your employer is required to pay part or all of your attorney’s fees, your net payout goes up — another way the legal system helps protect employees. 

 While attorney’s fees are only owed upon recovery, there are sometimes additional expenses in litigation, such as court filing fees, depositions, mediation, or expert witness costs. Our firm typically advances these on your behalf and recovers them from the settlement or judgment. We’ll always explain these matters clearly before proceeding. 

Equal Access, Not Equal Means 

The contingency system lets ordinary people take on powerful corporations, even when they can’t afford hourly lawyers. It levels the playing field — giving injured, wronged, or underpaid workers a real chance to be heard. Our clients come to us because they deserve representation that treats them with respect, fairness, and  

The laws and facts of every case are different. Fee-shifting provisions, recovery amounts, and expenses vary depending on your situation. Your individual results may differ based on the facts and applicable laws.
