Client Testimonials
My previous employer asked me to agree to not get paid for overtime and expected me, on a regular basis, to work through my shifts without taking proper breaks. I was cooperative at first, because I wanted to be a team player, but after a few months it really began to take its toll on me. When I asked for my schedule to be adjusted, I got fired. JLG got me a great settlement and my former employer even had to pay me retroactive overtime!
Carlos O.Altadena
JLG Lawyers are the best employment attorneys in LA! I had never been fired before, so when it happened, I didn't know what to do or what my rights were. But a friend referred me to JLG, and I was able to book a free consultation that same day, to get the assistance I need. They were very professional and quick to navigate my claims, resolving my bad situation by getting me properly compensated for everything I was owed.
Andrea R.Burbank
After several different law firms passed on taking my case, I was starting to lose hope that someone would review and understand my problem, let alone offer to help. I was wrong. Mike, and his team at JLG, were understanding, took on my case and reached a settlement with my former employer that got me paid all my overdue paychecks – amazing! I've been recommending JLG Lawyers to anyone with an employment matter ever since, because contacting them is the best decision I ever made!
John F.Alhambra
In a case that took another law firm almost two years just to get started, JLG Lawyers stepped in and was able to settle my case in just 3 months! They were very understanding of my position, explained everything in detail and answered every question I had, which gave me my confidence back in this unfortunate situation. I highly recommend JLG Lawyers to anyone having any doubts about their rights in the workplace!

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about JLG Lawyers and California employment law representation.
What types of employment cases does JLG Lawyers handle in California?

Does JLG Lawyers offer free consultations?
Yes. JLG Lawyers offers free, confidential consultations for California employees. You can book a call online or contact the Los Angeles, Glendale, or San Francisco offices to discuss your workplace situation with no obligation.
Where are JLG Lawyers located?
JLG Lawyers (Jaurigue Law Group) serves employees throughout California with offices in the Los Angeles / Glendale area and San Francisco. The firm handles employment matters for workers across the state.
How much does an employment lawyer cost?
Many employment cases are handled on a contingency or hybrid fee basis, meaning you may pay little or nothing upfront and fees depend on the outcome of your case. Fee arrangements are explained during your free consultation.
Can I file a claim if I was an at-will employee in California?
Yes. At-will employment does not allow employers to terminate or retaliate against you for illegal reasons, such as discrimination, harassment, or reporting unlawful conduct. An attorney can review whether your termination violated California or federal law.
How long does a California employment case take?
Timelines vary widely. Some matters resolve in mediation within months; others require litigation that can take a year or longer. JLG Lawyers can give a realistic timeline after reviewing the facts of your case.
