Our employment law attorneys represent workers across all industries, holding employers accountable for discrimination, harassment, and wrongful treatment. Whether you’re fighting for your job, your pay, or your dignity, Pathway Law Firm is here for you.

Wrongful Termination

We represent employees fired for illegal reasons. If you were terminated for discriminatory or retaliatory reasons, our wrongful termination lawyers will fight to get you justice.

Discrimination

No worker should be treated differently because of who they are. We handle all workplace discrimination, including age, race, gender, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or pregnancy.

Wage and Overtime Claims

You deserve every dollar you’ve earned. We pursue claims for unpaid overtime, withheld wages, and employee misclassification to ensure you’re fully compensated.

It’s illegal for employers to punish workers for reporting wrongdoing. We protect whistleblowers and employees who speak up about discrimination, harassment, or safety violations.

Sexual Harassment

From inappropriate comments to quid pro quo advances, no one should have to tolerate sexual harassment at work. We stand up for victims and demand accountability.

Breach of Contract

If your employer broke their contractual promises or pressured you to sign an unfair severance agreement, our attorneys will protect your interests and your future.

Workers’ Compensation

If you were injured or became ill because of your job or workplace, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits or disability pay.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted Pathway after another driver caused a collision that resulted in significant vehicle damage and injuries. The firm took the claim seriously and pushed back against the insurance company, but communication was occasionally slower than I would have preferred.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was hit by another driver while traveling through an intersection in Los Angeles. The insurance company disputed responsibility. There were details from the collision that didn’t match the other driver’s account. Pathway challenged the liability issue and fought to have the facts properly considered.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Being involved in this accident as a passenger was stressful and left me feeling anxious throughout the process. Dealing with injuries and the uncertainty of everything that comes after an accident can be overwhelming. I  had been through the claims process before, and this experience felt much more organized. Reyna at Pathway Law Firm was responsive, professional, and kept me informed along the way. Whenever I had questions, she took the time to explain what was happening and made sure I knew what to expect. She helped me get started with treatment promptly and handled everything efficiently, which made the process much less overwhelming. I appreciated her attention to detail and the care she showed from beginning to end. I am grateful for Reyna and the team at Pathway Law Firm for making a difficult situation easier to get through, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for reliable legal representation after an accident.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My accident occurred on June 14, 2026, and it was my first accident, so I was understandably nervous. I immediately contacted law enforcement, but they declined to make a crash report. They did, however, help us exchange insurance information. I was worried that the other driver's insurance company wouldn't take responsibility for their insured's negligence. Thankfully, I reached out to Reyna at Pathway Law Firm. She was knowledgeable, experienced, and supportive throughout the entire process. Reyna worked quickly to ensure liability was accepted within 14 days and helped resolve my property damage claim within 30 days of my accident. She also helped me get reimbursed for my daughter's car seat and made sure I was able to begin treatment for my injuries right away. I truly appreciate Reyna's professionalism, communication, and dedication. She made a stressful situation much easier to navigate, and I highly recommend Reyna and the Pathway Law Firm to anyone who needs help after an accident.

I had my first accident and didn't know what to expect, but Reyna, my personal injury case manager at Pathway Law Firm, made the entire process so much easier. She helped get liability accepted, set up my claim, and arranged for my mom's car to be appraised and repaired. She kept me informed every step of the way and made sure everything stayed on track. Everything was handled in a timely manner, and I honestly couldn't believe how smooth the process was. Reyna was professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about helping me through the process. I highly recommend Reyna and the team at Pathway Law Firm to anyone who needs help after an accident. Thank you for making such a stressful experience much easier to get through!

FAQ

What counts as wrongful termination vs. unfair but legal?

Wrongful termination happens when you’re fired for an illegal reason, like discrimination, retaliation, or refusing to break the law. Some firings feel unfair, but are legal unless they violate a protected right.

Do I need an employment lawyer if HR already investigated?

Yes. HR protects the company, not you, and internal investigations often overlook key evidence. A lawyer ensures your rights are protected and your claim is taken seriously.

What is wrongful termination?

Exact definitions vary slightly by state, but wrongful termination includes being fired for discriminatory reasons, whistleblowing, reporting harassment, or asserting your legal rights. Even at-will employees are protected from these unlawful actions.

How do I prove a hostile work environment?

You can prove a hostile environment by showing repeated harassment, discrimination, or intimidation tied to a protected characteristic. Documents, messages, witness statements, and reporting history strengthen your claim.
