What Should I Do If I Believe I Am Being Retaliated Against at Work?

If your workplace retaliation does not involve termination, you should report the adverse actions to your human resources department, supervisor, or another employer agent who is not the person retaliating against you. California employers must investigate all claims of retaliation and take appropriate actions to fix the circumstances immediately.

How Will I Know If I Have a Viable Workplace Retaliation Case?

Employers are aware of the laws that protect their employees from retaliation, which means they will do all they can to disguise their efforts to punish them for reporting wrongdoing in the workplace. If you believe your employer is retaliating against you by taking any adverse action against you, talk to our experienced employment law attorney in Glendale about your circumstances.

Am I Still Protected if the Behavior I Reported Turns Out Not to Be Illegal?

Yes. If the complaint was made in good faith. believing that the conduct was unlawful, they are protected under the law. Even if the employer was not acting illegally, they cannot retaliate against the employee for reporting what he or she believed was a violation in good faith.

Do I Need an Employment Law Attorney if I Can Prove My Employer Has Retaliated Against Me?

It can be increasingly difficult for an employee who has experienced retaliation to prove their case on their own, no matter how much evidence they have acquired to help prove their case.

Next, one of the following must apply:

The vehicle has a faulty defect(s).
The vehicle issue(s) impairs its use, safety, or value.
After a qualifying number of reasonable repair attempts, the defective vehicle cannot be fixed by a mechanic, manufacturer, or dealership.

California’s Lemon Law Presumption states that number as:

When the defective vehicle could cause serious bodily injury or death when driven and has not been repaired by the dealer/manufacturer after at least two attempts.
The dealer/manufacturer has not fixed the same problem after four or more attempts.
The vehicle has been in the service location for more than 30 non-consecutive days total for warranty-covered issues and repairs.

Client Testimonials

I spoke directly to Mr. Shainfeld who helped guide me through the lemon law process. He was always responsive to me both via phone and emails. He was prompt and professional. Hopefully I do not have any further issues with my car in the future, but if I do I will contact Shainfeld Law.

Dave

Prompt and Professional

Brett and his team was truly amazing to work with. From my very first contact through their chat capabilities on their website to the very last conversation with Brett. Being our first lemon claim for our 2018 Audi e-tron we were intimidated by what the process could be and didn’t know what to expect. Brett and his team made everything so easy to understand and seamless.

Most Helpful Lemon Lawyer

Brett was truly amazing to work with. Everything was so easy — from our initial call to the very last conversation. This was our very first lemon claim (2018 Audi e-tron) and was slightly intimidated by what the process could be and didn’t know what to expect. Brett and his team made everything so easy to understand and seamless. He’s quick, efficient, very reliable. He is super clear up front with the process and quickly answers any questions you have. I would highly recommend Brett if you are looking for lemon law attorney. We couldn’t have done it without him.

Everything Was So Easy

After the torture we went through with our dealership on our Lemon Law car and the subsequent challenge of trying to find a responsive, knowledgeable attorney to represent our case, we were at our wit’s end and highly skeptical when we found Brett Shainfeld. However, we found Brett to be clear, communicative, immediately responsive and confident. He adapted quickly to our preferred mode of communication (electronic or voicemail, rather than live discussions), and consistently kept us informed as to what was happening with our case, as well as what to expect next. And the best part is that he successfully negotiated our case with the manufacturer.

Great Experience

Brett was the best attorney we’ve had the opportunity to work with. If we ever need a Lemon Law attorney again, we won’t hesitate to use Brett. He’s very conscientious, keeping us appraised of what’s going on. If we leave a message or e-mail for him, he’d respond to is in a very timely manner. We will not hesitate to use his services again in the future. We’ll also recommend him to anyone & everyone who needs a good Lemon Law attorney.
