ABOUT EDWARD CHAVEZ
e••••••••@gmail.com Cell:(21••••••87 For more than 20 years my practice guides employers (Human Resource Directors) and employees through California\'s maze of employment laws. I help employers (sole proprietors, private & family-owned companies, publicly traded corporations, professionals, public entities) decide whether a case has merit and how to minimize risk. In court I defend the employer in a results-oriented & cost-efficient manner that enables business owners to focus on productivity & growth. I help employees (union/non-union) decide if the case against their employer has value & best steps to protect the employee\'s rights allowing resolution at the earliest stage in court to return lives to normalcy. Specialties: Employment Law - I have tried 23 cases to successful jury verdicts and appeared at hundreds of arbitrations/mediations. Employment Law Specialties: Wrongful Discharge/Termination, Unlawful Discrimination, e.g, Pregnancy, Disability, Age, Gender/Sex, Sexual Orientation, Race, National Origin, Sexual Harassment & Retaliation; Class Action Wage & Hour Claims, e.g, Meal/Rest Breaks, Reimbursable Expenses, Piece-Rate Wages, Mis-Classification Hourly Employees as \"Salary\" Employees, Overtime Claims; Engage Disabled Employees in \"Interactive Process\"(Meaningful Negotiations) for \"Reasonable Accommodations\"(Agreeable Work Solutions); Proper Calculation of Employee Leave under Calif. Fam. Rights Act (\"CFRA\"), Family Medical Leave Act (\"FMLA\"), Calif. Pregnancy Disability Leave Law (\"PDL\"); Calif. Fair Employment and Housing Act (\"FEHA\") at Calif. Dept. Fair Employment and Housing (\"DFEH\"), Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (\"EEOC\"), Calif. Dept. Labor Commission and Nat\'l. Labor Relations Board (\"NLRB\") for Fair Labor Standards Act (\"FSLA\").
