Share Your SideFrequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
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 in California?
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.
