Usually, it’s possible to resolve problems at work on your own, but if trouble takes a turn for the worst, you may benefit from the services of a good employment lawyer. (For guidance on when you might need a lawyer, see Ten Ways an Employment Lawyer Can Help You.) 

Why Hire an Employment Lawyer

Employment law is a specialty. An experienced employment lawyer can make sure you get the best possible result without wasting your time or money. If you decide to hire a lawyer, you’ll want to find someone who focuses only or almost exclusively on employment law, rather than using a general practice lawyer or a lawyer who concentrates on some other legal subject.

Resources for Finding Employment Lawyers

Here are some recommended ways to find an employment lawyer:

Ask around. Without a doubt, the best way to find a good lawyer is to ask friends, family, work associates -- anyone you know and trust. Even if they don’t personally know an employment lawyer, they may know another lawyer they like. And that lawyer may be able to direct you to a good employment attorney.

Ask your local bar association. The State Bar of California maintains a lawyer directory. This directory can provide you with names of employment lawyers in your area who are in good standing with the bar association. Do keep in mind, however, that the bar association doesn’t screen the lawyers for the amount of experience they have or for their competence. It’s up to you to interview each attorney to find out whether they have the experience you need.

Online lawyer directories. Here are a few websites that offer directories of attorneys serving Sacramento, CA. Because different attorneys list with different directories, we offer you a choice so you can consider a selection of Sacramento, CA employment lawyers. Like bar association directories, these lawyers have probably not been screened for their qualifications or competence. Lawyers usually self-report their information, so be prepared to do your homework and ask each lawyer about their experience before hiring anyone.

Low-cost legal aid services. If your income is low, you may be able to get workplace assistance or advice from a local legal aid organization.
