20 Years of Experience in Litigating California Employment Cases

The law firm of Van Vleck Turner & Zaller LLP is focused exclusively on California employment litigation. Our attorneys have previously worked at some the nation's largest and most prestigious full-service law firms but discovered that a firm dedicated solely to labor and employment offers the best platform for servicing our clients.

California employment law is complex and ever-changing. Wrongful termination, harassment, trade secret and unpaid wage claims are all subject to special procedures and case law. Obtaining the best possible result in these cases requires experienced and specialized counsel.

For example, an employer’s conduct which seems unfair and unreasonable may not be illegal. On the other hand, a careful analysis of the law and facts will often reveal the existence of a powerful legal claim under an entirely different theory. This is why we provide a free initial consultation to carefully analyze and evaluate your potential legal claims.

Our attorneys have up to 20 years of experience in litigating California employment cases. While we routinely represent clients with all types of claims we have are especially recognized for our experience in class action litigation. The Firm's areas of expertise include:

• Wrongful termination
• Sexual harassment
• Whistleblower retaliation claims
• Age discrimination
• Accommodation of disabilities
• Leave of absence issues
• Overtime litigation
• Trade secret and non-competition agreements
• Negotiation of severance
• Working “off-the-clock”
• Denial of meal and rest breaks

We recognize that every client is an individual with unique needs and goals, which we carefully consider in crafting the appropriate legal strategy. But whatever strategy is called for in a particular case, our attorneys have the ability to carry it out by aggressively negotiating a favorable result, or aggressively litigating the claims to a judge or jury.

We have recently achieved many notable successes for our clients including a $3.5 million wage and hour class action settlement, and an $860,000 jury verdict in a wrongful termination case.

We will carefully review your claim and recommend the method which best resolves your conflict.
