Why San Diego Employees Need Legal Representation
San Diego is home to over 1.4 million residents and a thriving economy driven by military and defense, biotechnology, telecommunications, and tourism. With major employers like Qualcomm, UC San Diego Health, Sharp HealthCare, Northrop Grumman, and the United States Navy, the city supports hundreds of thousands of workers across diverse industries.
San Diego employees face workplace issues ranging from wrongful termination and retaliation to wage theft and discrimination. Whether you work in the biotech corridor of Torrey Pines, the hospitality industry along the waterfront, or a government contractor in Kearny Mesa, you have rights under California law.

Wrongful Termination
California is an at-will employment state, but employers cannot fire workers for illegal reasons. If you were terminated in retaliation for reporting safety violations, filing a workers’ compensation claim, or exercising any protected right, you may have a wrongful termination case. Learn more →
Workplace Discrimination
Under FEHA, employers cannot discriminate based on race, gender, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, or national origin. San Diego’s diverse workforce means discrimination can take many forms across every industry. Learn more →
