We Are Fierce Advocates for Our Clients

For most people, their jobs are more than just a paycheck. They can offer personal fulfillment, a social and professional network, and a sense of accomplishment as we work towards our goals. Employment issues can derail all of this, leaving us confused and overwhelmed. When an employer acts unlawfully, the help of an employment law attorney, like ours at The Sexton Law Firm, can be invaluable.

Examples of workplace discrimination can include:

  • Not being promoted because of your perceived gender
  • Not being hired because of your perceived race
  • Not being included in professional opportunities because of your familial status or family responsibilities
  • Not being considered for a position or promotion because of your disability status or age

Examples of workplace harassment can include:

  • Inappropriate jokes about your perceived age, sex, gender, race, religion, etc.
  • Inappropriate touching
  • A coworker commenting on your body
  • Being ridiculed for your perceived sexual orientation
  • Being called names or slurs
  • Receiving threats from a coworker or manager

Everyone suffers when an employer or manager violates state or federal employment laws. All employment law infractions, from not paying an employee overtime to retaliating against them when they report a labor law violation, no matter how severe, do harm. By holding employers accountable, you can not only seek justice for yourself, but you can help protect other workers from experiencing the same thing.

When Your Future Is on the Line, We Are Here to Help

We understand how difficult it can be to go up against your employer. Our Chula Vista-based employment lawyers can help you throughout the process. Whether you lost your job or are dealing with workplace discrimination or harassment, you may have grounds to seek compensation for the damages you have sustained.

You may be entitled to compensation for the following:

  • Unpaid wages, including overtime and commissions
  • Lost wages, such as in the case of wrongful termination
  • The value of withheld and/or lost benefits

Punitive damages may be awarded depending on the case's circumstances. Employers may also be required to change their company policies and practices. These things can all go a long way in protecting workers from being exploited by their employers.

    “He allowed me to vent, responded accordingly, and return my text message as if we were friends.”
    Through this very difficult period in my life, I reached out to the Legal Aid Society and they assigned a Lawyer to assist me in filing for bankruptcy protection. Andrew Sexton took the time to speak with me on the phone, he walked me through the process with detailed emails explaining what I needed to do in order to make the process go smoothly. He allowed me to vent, responded accordingly, and return my text message as if we were friends. Everything was conducted electronically, and on the phone, we never met in person…. Amazing. I highly recommend this firm with handling your financial issues regarding Bankruptcy. Thanks, Mr. Sexton for your professionalism and your due diligence in regard to my case

    “From the very beginning, they were professional and very efficient in dealing with my case.”
    I was in a car accident back in July and got rear-ended because some guy was rushing on his way to work, you would think the guy would want to save more time by not filling out a police report and dealing with lawyer stuff but I guess not. I went on Google and found the Sexton Law Firm. From the very beginning, they were professional and very efficient in dealing with my case. I had the pleasure of meeting the head honcho, James Sexton. He was very personable and reassuring in taking care of my case. My case was dealt within one year, he even helped me get the medical assistance I needed. The entire time the law firm sent out ongoing emails giving me updates and letting me know how long I would have to wait for a response from the other party.
    Everything worked out perfectly, In the event that I am ever in another accident, I would definitely hire this firm again to handle it. Do I recommend them? Yes I do!

    “I would highly recommend this law firm for anyone needing help!”
    The Sexton Law Firm was very helpful during the entire process. Andrew was very helpful and knowledgeable. However, Asia was the most helpful.

    “His council was well received, and it was honest.”
    I was referred to Mr. Andrew Sexton at a time of great need, confusion, and embarrassment. His council was well received, and it was honest, offered clarity, and calmed four shoulders worth of concerns. I would recommend that your consideration for representation would be met with the same regard. Very grateful for his time, knowledge, and resources.
