A class action lawsuit is a lawsuit in which a group of people with the same or similar injuries or illnesses caused by the same person or product file a claim against the defendant together as a group.

The Family Medical Leave Act (29 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.) is a federal law. The state of California has a counterpart to the FMLA called the California Family Rights Act (CFRA, California Government Code Section 12945.2). These laws both require that employers who employ 50 more people allow a worker to have a total of 12 weeks of unpaid leave during 12 months for an illness or medical condition affecting themselves or their family members. An employer in California cannot wrongfully deny a worker their rightful leave under the FMLA or the CFRA.

Under both the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH), we can see that workers in California have strong protections against discrimination in the workplace.

At the Marcarian Law Firm, our Los Angeles discrimination lawyers work diligently to ensure that no employees are subjected to discrimination in the workplace.

Often, prescription drug abuse issues fall back on pharmacists and pharmacy owners. If there is a case of prescription drug abuse and the pharmaceuticals involved are controlled substances, such as Valium, Heroin, Morphine, Dilaudid, Vicodin, Vicodin ES, Soma, etc., a pharmacist or pharmacy owner could face problems from the California State Board of Pharmacy. The board may conduct its investigation, sometimes working with agents from the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Sometimes, a pharmacy owner or pharmacist may face charges from the California Attorney General’s office. The Marcarian Law Firm is one of the few law firms in California that helps handle these matters. As a pharmacist and an attorney, Attorney Armond Marcarian is well-positioned to help clients get through these legal issues.

California may be an “at-will” state when it comes to employment, but that does not mean an employer can fire or lay a person off for an unlawful reason. Under California law, this would be considered “wrongful termination.” Wrongful termination cases can arise for many reasons, including if an employer fires somebody for complaining about not receiving their wages or overtime. This can also include termination based on discrimination, such as firing someone based on their skin color, sexuality, gender, age, disability, marital status, religion, national origin, etc. At the Marcarian Law Firm, our Los Angeles discrimination attorneys will work diligently to investigate these cases so we can secure the compensation our clients deserve.
