Reasons to Work with an Employment Law Attorney in San Jose

With any type of employment law matter in San Jose, it is important to have an attorney on your side. When you are negotiating an employment contract, including salary and benefits, calendar terms of the contract, restrictive covenants, and other related issues, it is essential to have a lawyer assist you with the negotiation process. Similarly, negotiating the terms of a severance package or severance agreement can go much more smoothly, and can often turn out better for you, when you work with a San Jose employment lawyer.

Employment discrimination and related issues that arise in San Jose employment circumstances also require legal assistance. It will be important to discuss the details of any discrimination in the job application process or in the workplace, and to learn more about your eligibility for filing a discrimination claim under federal law or under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). A lawyer can fight for your rights in an employment discrimination case and can seek the remedies available to you, which may include monetary compensation as well as remedies like job reinstatement if you were wrongfully terminated.

"Mark’s advice was spot-on"

I retained Mark after consulting him regarding issues I was experiencing with my employer. Mark’s advice was spot-on, and he was extremely generous with both his time and billing. More importantly, Mark fought diligently for my rights throughout the process ensuring I was not taken advantage of. It can not be overstated how important it is to have a knowledgable attorney with integrity leading the way when you find yourself being bullied by a juggernaut of a corporation. Having Mark in my corner was the best decision I could have possibly made.

Our clients were pharmacist who were misclassified as salaried employees and not paid their overtime and were not provided their meal or rest breaks. This type of case requires significant document analysis, and we reviewed a voluminous number of documents to confirm what was happening to our clients.

Employment

Martin Zurada led a case for two disadvantaged and frequently houseless immigrants who were cheated and abused by an unscrupulous motel owner in Oakland. Both were cheated out of their wages for the hard work they had been putting in at the motel. Worse yet, our female client was repeatedly sexually harassed and assaulted by the motel owner. The motel owner knew that our female client was in need of the income from her motel job to obtain stable housing and regain custody of her children. He never imagined that these powerless people would fight back or find a law firm that would believe in them and would fight for their rights. We fought numerous motions and other delay tactics to get to trial. The highest offer we ever got was “$5,000” for both of our clients. We were told that our clients had a “nuisance” lawsuit that was worth nothing. We couldn’t wait for years for a jury trial in Alameda County, so we agreed to bring the case before a judge to speed up the wheels of justice. After a five-day trial led by Martin Zurada, we obtained a judgment for over $800,000 for our clients, and then we augmented it with an award of over $750,000 in attorney’s fees and costs. We then aggressively pursued collection, and, within six months of the trial, we forced the sale of the motel where all of the wrongdoing happened which resulted in our clients and our firm obtaining full money justice.
