Experienced Southern California

Employment Law Firm

We strive to provide a unique and personalized experience to all of our clients.

A 2014 study conducted by Hiscox Small Business Insurance shows that California companies are 42% more likely to be sued by an employee than the national average. As former business owners and experienced business/corporate lawyers, we know how important it is for companies to avoid disputes whenever possible but to resolve them quickly and effectively whenever they do arise. At Coast Employment Law, our attorneys are well-versed in the multitude of laws at the local, state and federal levels governing every aspect of the employer-employee relationship. We advise and represent employers and employees alike in the full range of federal and California employment law matters.

Dispute avoidance through preventive law

Preventive law may not be a phrase you have heard very often, but it is the philosophy behind our legal practice. Every year labor and employment laws and regulations are added or changed, and our experienced employment lawyers stay on top of the shifting legal landscape in this every-changing field of law. We advise our clients of changes to the law as they occur in the legislature, the courts and the administrative agencies. We take a pro-active approach with our clients to keep them in compliance with the law and avoid disputes before they ever arise. We believe a sound approach to risk avoidance is just good business. When disputes do arise, as they inevitably will, we work hard to resolve the dispute efficiently and cost-effectively, but always with your immediate and long-term interests foremost in mind.

Resolving workplace discrimination and harassment claims

It’s no secret that workplace discrimination, sexual harassment and unfair employment practices do occur. Creating a fair and just workplace involves not only implementing policies and training and ensuring compliance, but also recognizing failures when they do occur and remedying them. When employees have valid, meritorious claims against their employer, we help the worker bring that claim before the proper administrative agency or court, or resolve the dispute directly with the employer.

Why do companies choose Coast Employment Law over and over again?

We are a small law firm, and our clients have the option to choose much larger employment law firms. But they choose us, and they stay with us. They know that we are more than just lawyers arguing legal points on their behalf. They know that we put the interests of our clients first and look for reasonable, efficient outcomes to avoid or resolve disputes quickly and effectively. Our growing list of long-term clients tells us that clients appreciate the dedication and personal attention they receive at Coast Employment Law. Let us help you with all the labor and employment legal needs of your business. Located in Tustin, we serve clients throughout southern California in Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego counties. Call 714-551-9930 for a free, initial consultation.

Testimonials

  • Thank you Coast Employment

    I want to thank Jon for helping with my contractor problems!! He listened to me and was able to solve the problem immediately! For nearly a year I was trying to get a contractor to finish and fix my back patio! I would call and they said they would come out. They NEVER did. Finally I called Jon and said he would write a letter! I couldn’t believe that they called me within the week and came out to finish and repair the project. He saved me thousands of dollars!!! Thank you, Jon!!!

  • Great Law Firm

    I really want to thank Jon, one of the attorneys at Coast Employment Law, for helping with a contract with my construction company. I was able to talk to Jon directly through out this pleasantly short process. I had no problem reaching him and he was very thorough and patient with me. For over six months I went back and forth with the contractor to get him to repair and paint a backyard “room”. They would say that they were coming out this week or tomorrow, etc. They never did come out. Finally, I discussed this with Attorney Jon. He sent a letter and, believe it or not, the contractor was calling ME and came back that week to fix the defects immediately!! Thank you again and again Jon! It saved me thousands of dollars!!

  • Highly recommend!!!

    My husband and I opened a business and needed some help with our offer letter. I called quite a few law firms and the secretaries were short with me, trying to rush me off the phone and didn’t want to help at all. I finally got through to John at Coast Employment Law and he spoke with me on the phone for a half an hour after hours and was really trying to help me. We met with him in person and he is super nice and my husband and I were very happy with the services he provided. I will definitely call John if I need anymore help in the future.

  • I definitely recommend Coast Employment Law.

    >I own a business in Costa Mesa. Whenever I have a question relating to my employees, I call Coast Employment Law. I strongly feel that I have been able to avoid legal disputes due to the advice of their attorneys, including Jon McGrath. Jon is very thorough. I feel I have a much better understanding of California’s employment laws after each discussion.
