Every workplace issue is different, but they all have one thing in common: your right to be treated lawfully and fairly. 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.

Disability Rights

Employers must make reasonable accommodations for physical or mental disabilities. If you’ve been denied leave or faced bias because of a disability, we’ll fight to protect your rights.

Retaliation Protection

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 was bitten by a dog while walking through my neighborhood and needed medical treatment for the injuries. The owner’s insurance company contacted me afterward and I wasn’t comfortable handling the claim on my own. Pathway stepped in and took over the process for me. They fought hard and got me a fair result.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was in a car accident almost two years ago, I reached out to Pathway Law Firm for help navigating the process I found myself in. From the beginning they told me their priority was to make sure I got the care I needed regarding my injuries. Pathway has been by my side every step of the way, through multiple surgeries; my team was diligent in their check-ins and touching base with me after every treatment for the sole purpose of seeing how I was feeling during my recovery. My lawyer Jack Jambazian is someone I will always consider a friend, and an individual anyone would be lucky to have fighting in their corner. He was unwavering, professional and efficient in the handling of my case. Day or Night, he always made himself available to me for any question, concern or problem I had. I never felt like a number in a queue or a future check to be cashed. If anything like this were to happen to me or my wife in the future; Pathway Law Firm and specifically Jack Jambazian is who I will call.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Someone turned left directly in front of my motorcycle and I ended up needing extensive treatment. The other driver tried to make the accident sound very different from what actually happened. Pathway fought the liability issue and made sure my side of the story was represented.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My accident happened on the highway when an SUV changed lanes into my car. I was already dealing with appointments and repairs when the insurance company started questioning my injuries. Having someone handle that side of the situation took a lot of pressure off me.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After my rear-end collision on the 405, I was dealing with a damaged car, physical therapy, and an insurance adjuster pushing for a quick settlement. Once I hired Pathway, I no longer had to deal with those calls and paperwork myself. That made a huge difference while I was recovering.

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.
