Weisenberg Law (415) 839-8102 Tell me what happened

Whatever happened at work, you deserve straight answers.

Fired, or watching a file quietly get built against you. Handed a severance with a deadline attached to it. Back from leave to find your job shrank while you were out. Written up, walked past, left off the invite after you spoke up. I represent California employees — only employees — and the first conversation is a real one: what happened, what the law calls it, and what a good outcome would actually look like for you.

You pay nothing unless we win.

I work on contingency and advance the costs. My fee comes out of the recovery, not your pocket; no bill lands while you're out of work, and from the first call we're on the same side of the table.

Where do things stand for you?

Find the situation closest to yours.

Not sure which one fits? Most situations involve more than one — that’s normal. Just tell me what happened, and we’ll sort out where it belongs.

You spoke up. Then the treatment changed.

Retaliation & WhistleblowingYou reported wrongdoing, or refused to join in — and then the write-ups started. → Discrimination & HarassmentTreated worse because of who you are — including sexual harassment. → Pregnancy DiscriminationDemoted, denied, or pushed out over a pregnancy. →

The job is ending — or the file is thickening.

Fired or About to Get FiredFired for a reason that doesn't add up — or watching one get built. → Severances and Negotiated ExitsAn agreement with a deadline — or an exit nobody has offered yet. The first number is an opening bid. Talk to me before you sign, or quit. →

Even if your employer is the government.

What working with me is like

You get a lawyer who listens, keeps you in it, and resolves it with you.

I listen so I can tell your story.

You tell me what happened, in your own words, in order. The detail that decides a case is rarely the one people call about — it's the offhand remark, the date on the write-up, who was in the room when it was said. The only way to find it is to hear all of it.

I keep you updated.

Employment cases can be slow, and they're strange if nobody explains them. I tell you what's happening and why, in language that means something — especially when it's hard to hear.

We resolve the case together.

Most cases settle, and negotiating them is a lot of what I do. But a negotiation only moves an employer when there's a real case behind it — one built carefully, and ready for trial if they'd rather fight than resolve it. Start to finish, we'll work together to get you the best possible settlement or, if we decide to, litigate.

What to expect

You shouldn't have to guess how this goes.

Your part comes at a few specific points, I walk you through the hard bits, and whether this ever becomes a lawsuit is your call — not mine.

Tell me what happened.

You talk, I listen — free and confidential. Then the question that steers everything: what does a good outcome look like for you?

I tell you where you stand.

What's provable, what it's worth, what your options are — priced straight, not sold.

We resolve it — your way.

Settle before filing, or go the distance. Your choice.
