The information that you obtain on our website is not, nor is it intended to be legal advice. You should consult with an attorney for advice regarding your specific individual situation. We invite you to contact us and welcome your calls, letters and electronic mail. However, contacting us does not create an attorney-client relationship. Please do not send any confidential information to us until such time as an attorney-client relationship has been established. An attorney-client relationship with our law firm can be created only through a written attorney-client engagement letter signed by both you and one of our partners, until then we will not take any action to protect your rights. This means that if you have any deadlines or statutes of limitations approaching, it is your sole responsibility to ensure they are protected by filing a timely Department of Fair Employment and Housing ("DFEH") charge or civil lawsuit. Claims for employment discrimination or wage and hour violations have specific statutes of limitations or deadlines for filing claims or lawsuits. Discrimination claims typically fall under the California Fair Employment and Housing ACT ("FEHA"), which requires that you file a complaint with the DFEH within one year from the date of your termination, demotion or other adverse employment action or within one year of the last act of harassment. Once the DFEH issues a "right to sue" notice, you will have one year from that date to file your lawsuit. You should follow up with the DFEH as soon as possible at (800) 884-1684. Most claims for wage and hour violations, unpaid overtime, meal and rest break denials, have a 3-year statute of limitations. However, the statute of limitations may be extended to 4-years for many wage claims involving restitution. This means that for any pay period more than four (4) years from the date you file your lawsuit (or three (3) years if the shorter statute of limitations applies to your claim), you will not be able to collect money that you were illegally denied for things like unpaid overtime, minimum wage violations, denials of meal or rest breaks. It is important that you immediately contact the DFEH or the California Labor Standards Enforcement, or another attorney if you have an approaching deadline and we have not yet signed a contract agreeing to represent you.
