Championing Justice In The Workplace

Employees often hesitate to confront their employers due to fear of retaliation, job security concerns or simply the power imbalance inherent in the workplace. These reservations can prevent them from seeking justice when they’re wronged. The lawyers at Anticouni & Ricotta can bridge that gap, ensuring that employees are not left to face these challenges alone.

Our experienced team is dedicated to justice in cases of wrongful termination, sexual harassment, wage and hour claims, and other workplace issues. Our firm filed the first California wage and hour class-action lawsuit over 35 years ago. Our attorneys focus on achieving mediated and negotiated outcomes, though they are also proficient in litigation, when necessary. They help employees understand their rights and the remedies available to them. Our lawyers ensure that employees have strong, experienced advocates, leveling the playing field against more powerful employers and achieving outcomes that respect the rights and dignity of workers.
