Practice Areas

Levy, Ford & Wallach (LFW) assists Southern California clients in matters involving labor union representation, workers' compensation, and employment litigation, including violations of both federal and state law. Our attorneys are in the unique position to represent both workers and labor unions, and we regularly assist clients with crossover issues such as workers compensation, collective bargaining agreement rights, and wrongful termination claims.

Labor Union Representation

LFW represents labor unions and union members before nearly every state and federal labor board and administrative agency which regulates labor-management relations. The firm also assists labor unions in transactional matters, including contract negotiations, review, and enforcement. We have experience with a variety of dispute resolution methods and will recommend the best one for a given client's individual needs, whether it is litigation, arbitration, mediation, negotiation, or a combination thereof. In addition to representing individual clients, our attorneys are dedicated to educating and training unions, workers, and interested parties to help them stay current on labor and employment laws.

Workers' Compensation

LFW has over 40 years of experience representing injured employees in workers' compensation claims. Workers' compensation is a social insurance program which allows individuals who have suffered from a work-related accident or injury to receive benefits, such as wage replacement or medical care. If you are injured on the job, notify your employer immediately to ensure that you will receive the full benefits to which you are entitled. Our attorneys strive to help clients obtain the maximum benefits possible and to protect the rights of injured workers in disputes.

Employment Litigation

LFW represents workers against their current and former employers in matters of employment discrimination and harassment, wage and hour law litigation, and other violations of state and federal laws. We assist employees with claims of wrongful discharge, sexual harassment, disability discrimination, sexual orientation discrimination, and race discrimination. We have represented clients in matters involving exempt and salaried employment, minimum wage, overtime pay, holiday and vacation pay, sick leave, and meal and rest periods. In addition to representing individuals in litigation, we have also represented groups of employees in class action lawsuits against their employers.
