We represent clients whose rights as employees were violated under laws and policies such as:

• California Fair Employment and Housing Act
• Title VII of the Civil Rights Act – prohibiting race, gender, religious and sexual orientation based discrimination

Mr. Bennett also has extensive experience representing federal employees before the EEOC, MSPB, administrative agencies, and state and federal courts.

Federal Employment

Federal sector employees have additional administrative remedies when faced with illegal treatment at work, but the deadlines to take action are often quite short. Paul Bennett has decades of experience handling matters for federal sector employees, including matters before administrative EEOC judges and the Merit Systems Protection Board. Federal sector employees should immediately contact our office if they feel they have been discriminated, harassed or retaliated against at work.

Negotiating Contracts And Severance Packages

We aggressively negotiate severance packages for those who have been terminated or are leaving the company by choice. We also assist clients with contract matters, including reviewing noncompete agreements. Even if you are in the middle of the process, we can step in at any point in the process to make sure you get a fair outcome. However, to get the best results, it’s better to contact an attorney sooner rather than later.

It can be heartbreaking to speak to someone who appears to have a legitimate claim only to find that the window of opportunity for making the claim has “closed.” If you are unclear about the time you have, or of the process, you do not have to handle it alone.
