Employment Law

Fighting for Fair Workplaces

At Tra Law Group, we represent employees who have been mistreated, underpaid, or wrongfully terminated. Whether you’ve faced discrimination, retaliation, harassment, or wage theft, we stand with those who’ve been denied fairness in the workplace — ensuring that employers are held accountable and that workers receive the justice they deserve.

Our employment cases are handled on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you. Fees vary depending on the stage of the case — from pre-litigation to trial — but we will never take more than 50% of what we recover. You should never work with a firm that takes home more than the client. Our mission is clear: protect your rights, restore your dignity, and help you move forward with confidence.

Employment Cases We Handle

We represent employees across California in a wide range of workplace disputes, including:

  • Wrongful termination

  • Discrimination based on race, gender, disability, age, or other protected characteristics

  • Sexual harassment and hostile work environment

  • Retaliation for whistleblowing or reporting misconduct

  • Wage and hour violations (unpaid overtime, missed breaks, off-the-clock work)

  • Misclassification of employees as independent contractors

  • Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and CFRA violations

  • Military and veteran employment rights (USERRA)

Our approach is bold, strategic, and focused on results — whether negotiating a fair settlement or taking a case to trial.

Why Hire an Employment Attorney?

Employment law is complex and constantly changing. Our firm stays current with the latest statutes, case law, and regulations to ensure your case is handled strategically and effectively.

Employers and their legal teams often rely on intimidation and delay tactics. We level the playing field, using our experience to protect your rights and secure the compensation you’re entitled to.

Workplace claims often hinge on documentation, witnesses, and digital records. We know what to look for — and how to use it — to prove what really happened.

4. Valuing Your Claim Correctly

Employment cases involve more than just lost wages. We assess the full value of your claim, including emotional distress, lost career opportunities, and punitive damages when applicable.

5. Litigation-Ready Advocacy

While many employment disputes settle out of court, we prepare each case as if it will go to trial. Our readiness to fight sends a clear message: we don’t back down from employers who break the law.
