About Arinderjit
Biography
My employment law experience began through defending employers and insurance companies in employment law matters. I am presently representing employees exclusively. Having worked for both employees and employers has helped both me and my clients tremendously.
I enjoy working on employment law cases and helping employees who have suffered discrimination and retaliation. Employment law protections are part of the Civil Rights Act. And to that end, I see my work as a continuation of the work laid down by other civil rights wokers and attorneys.
If you have been discriminated, harassed, terminated or owed wages, call for a free consultation!
We help employees who have been discriminated, retaliated, terminated and are also owed back wages
