Speak With an Experienced Employee Rights Lawyer Today

When your rights at work are violated, the impact goes far beyond your paycheck. Harassment, discrimination, retaliation, or unpaid wages can leave you feeling angry, isolated, and unsure of what to do next. You may be entitled to financial compensation.

We’ve spent many years holding California employers accountable. If something feels wrong, it often is. Let’s talk about what happened—and how we can help make it right.

Fighting for California Workers

Our experience runs deep in California labor law. Every case we take reflects a long history of holding employers accountable for unlawful treatment.

We’re a California law firm focused on protecting workers. Fired unfairly, harassed, or underpaid? We’ve been on both sides of the courtroom. That gives you the edge.

Michael Carlin built Workers Rights Law Firm, APC after walking away from a global law giant where he defended Fortune 500 companies. That experience sharpened his skill, but it never matched his purpose. He became a lawyer to fight for workers. Now he uses everything he learned on the inside to take on the employers who cross the line.

Our mission is to hold employers accountable and win maximum compensation for workers. We fight for everyday people facing illegal treatment on the job.
