Rothschild & Alwill, APC, employment law attorneys have earned a reputation among employers and workers for our drive and desire to make California a better place to work.
When labor laws are not respected, both employees and employers can pay a serious price. For employees, this can be anything from emotional harm to not being able to afford rent or groceries. Employers are at risk of fines, lawsuits and even criminal charges for noncompliance.
