Law Office of Joseph Richards, P.C. attorneys practice in the areas of law listed below:
Becoming injured at work can happen to anyone, at any time. Workers’ compensation insurance is there to protect most CA employees who are injured on the job. However, navigating the workers’ compensation process can be daunting and time consuming. Here’s how we can help:
In addition, we may also be able to offer advice regarding:
Businesses with employees in California must adhere to state and federal laws designed to protect employees. When an employer violates the law by failing to provide the opportunity to take breaks or by not calculating and paying regular and overtime compensation appropriately, an employment law attorney can help protect your rights and get you the compensation you’re owed.
With that said, every employee has the right to inspect and receive a copy of the personnel records that the employer maintains relating to the employee’s performance or to any grievance concerning the employee.
Law Office of Joseph Richards, P.C. may be able to review W-2 forms; I-9 forms; and any and all employment documents signed by employees, including, but not limited to waivers of any kind, arbitration agreements, performance evaluations, warnings, documents reflecting corrective action and/or discipline, grievances, job assignments and/or job descriptions related to employment to determine any wage and hour rights.
Social Security Disability benefits are generally paid to people who worked in jobs: (1) covered by Social Security and (2) have a medical condition that is expected to last at least one year or that will result in death.
It is estimated that 80 to 90 percent of initial Social Security Disability applications are denied. If you have disability claims that the Social Security Administration denied or if you believe that you weren’t given the right benefits proportionate to your medical condition, it’s important that you have an experienced attorney by your side that can represent and guide you throughout the complex process.
We, at Law Office of Joseph Richards, P.C., have the right amount of experience and knowledge to help you with your Social Security Disability proceedings, provide case analysis, and assist with evidence collection necessary for successful representation during the hearing process.
