Do I Have A Case?

This is the key question that every employee considering an employment attorney consultation has on their minds. And it’s a question that’s best answered only by an attorney, not a layperson. So, as a general rule, we highly recommend that you contact us immediately if you are even asking yourself this question. Don’t delay. The number is 415-391-9476. Someone will always be available to answer your call.

What’s Involved In The Initial Consultation?

Employees sometimes experience years of discrimination and harassment without complaining. They are frightened. They don’t want to lose their jobs. So, they just go along to get along. This can be very damaging and make it difficult to stand up for their legal rights because it impacts the employee’s self esteem. In many other cases, they are unfamiliar with their legal rights. Moreover, they are intimidated by attorneys and the entire legal process. As a consequence, these employees continue to experience harassment and discrimination for years. These situations have a remedy. There’s something you can do to fight back. And you are legally protected against retaliation by the employer for making your complaints.

The first step in the process is to contact Mr. Feder. Simply complete the consultation request form on this website, or call the office at 415-391-9476 and you will be contacted immediately for a free initial consultation. If you believe you might have a case against your employer, or any other type of case, you should contact us and find out for sure. You might be entitled to collect thousands and in some cases hundreds of thousands of dollars and not even realize it.

As any consultation with our office is considered to be a confidential attorney client communication, you can feel confident that nothing that’s discussed will ever be disclosed to any third party without your consent. We might decide not to work together, but we will still keep all of our conversations private and not disclose any information or documents you provide to us to anyone.
