Mr. Jafari has represented my company and me personally on several occasions. He knows exactly how to communicate to me so I don’t get lost in legal terms or procedures. I give him a case and tell him what I want and he gave me a reasonable estimate of his fees. He did his best to and stayed within each budget provided. Mr. Jafari has delivered 100% for me in all cases. I know I am in good hands with him.

Eamon assisted when I totaled my car and injured my back. I was so stressed the entire time, and he never cared how many times I checked in for updates. I was satisfied with the closing of the case and will work with him again in the future if I need legal advice or assistance.

I recently had a case with Eamon Jafari and am very satisfied with his services. He was patient and helpful. He explained everything clearly to me. I felt very secure. Also his assistant Karly was great. I highly recommend him.

I was truly nervous going into this because every fiber of my being wanted to just walk away, for so many reasons – from just wanting to focus on moving on and recovering without looking back, to the bewilderment at how life is translated into costs. But you were patient with my nervousness and helped me to understand this as not just about the costs, but returned my focus back to my life and what it means. In a large way, you gave me not just the check for a sum of money, but some meaning and clarity about myself. No one else could have done this.

I wanted to take a moment to say thank you so much!! for caring so much about me and my injuries and taking the time to explain everything to me in great detail so I understand it, it made me feel much better.
Robert R.
-
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. These are still not sufficient words to express how I feel. For someone who likes words, I seem to find them wanting right now!
And for both us, the wonderful bonus in all of this has been getting to know you. This experience has brought us a friendship that I will cherish.

Thank you just does not do justice to what you’ve helped us with. It means so much to us that we had the great good fortune to meet you and have you take care of this case. You did what you had to do with sensitivity to our needs and our values. I appreciate how well you balanced your legal obligation to tell us about our options, how clearly and passionately you shared your professional recommendations, all the while making sure that these did not push us into actions we were not able to live with.

This levels the playing field, making it possible for everyone to have access to the courts to pursue the justice they deserve without the trauma of further financial strain.
After filing the complaint, the landlord must serve the tenant with a copy of the summons and complaint for the lawsuit. Once the tenant is served, the tenant has 5 days to file a responsive pleading. A landlord can't forcefully remove the tenant, without first obtaining a Judgment from court. After the Judgment, the Sheriff will be instructed to actually evict the tenant.
Additionally, the landlord may be liable for paying the tenant a relocation fee, which may range between $5,000 - $20,000, depending on how long the tenant has been living in the unit and other information.
Overall, there are very few benefits, if any, for a business owner in California to form a Delaware LLC when the company will be held by only a few shareholders and operated in California.
The most important thing to be aware of is that even if your employment is at-will, you do not give up all your rights under state and federal law. Employees may not be terminated for illegal reasons, such as discrimination, harassment or in retaliation complaining about any illegal activity by the employer or its managers. Violation of these laws, whether against at-will or contract employees, can leave an employer liable for wrongful termination.
There are many factors used to determine a worker’s status as an independent contractor or employee. The most significant one is the right to control. If the employer exercises control over how, when and where the worker performs their duties, then the worker is most likely an employee. Independent contractors can control the way in which they do their work. There are many other factors which must be considered as well.
A supervisor being rude, or an employer simply disliking an employee and deciding to make them unhappy until they quit, or even firing them, do not fall under legally-defined hostile work environment unless the treatment is based on the employee’s membership of a protected class.
Under California law, a work environment can be considered hostile if the conduct is so severe and pervasive that it alters the conditions of the victim’s employment. A reasonable person would have to agree that the hostility interferes with the employee’s ability to do their job, causes emotional distress or disrupts their career progress. The California Legislature and court decisions make it clear that sexual harassment does not have to be motivated by sexual desire for the victim.
Under California law, people are in “protected classes” on the basis of:
• Race or Color
• Religious Creed
• National Origin or Ancestry
• Physical Disability, Mental Disability or Medical Condition
• Marital Status
• Sex / Gender
• Sexual Orientation
• Gender Identity or Gender Expression
• Age
• Military or Veteran Status
• Genetic Information
Unfair treatment becomes unlawful if an employer discriminates against an employee based on their membership in a “protected class.” Under California law, people are in protected classes on the basis of:
• Race or Color
• Religious Creed
• National Origin or Ancestry
• Physical Disability, Mental Disability or Medical Condition
• Marital Status
• Sex/Gender
• Sexual Orientation
• Gender Identity or Gender Expression
• Age
• Military or Veteran Status
• Genetic Information
To assist you in properly documenting the discrimination or harassment, it’s a good idea to keep written notes tracking when specific incidents occurred. You may want to note the date, time, place, any witnesses, and as many details of what improper conduct occurred.
In some cases, an employer may implement an alternative work week that allows employees to work up to 10 hours per day for four days per week without receiving overtime. However, if employees work more than the hours stipulated in the agreement, they must be paid overtime. Normal double-time rules also apply. Furthermore, the agreement must follow strict legal guidelines, which include that it must be approved by two-thirds of employees in a secret ballot held during regular work hours.
