Practice Areas

Discrimination 25%

I sue employers for illegal discrimination and/or creating hostile work environment under California's Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) or under similar federal law. Protected characteristics include, but may not be limited to, age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, race, national origin, and religion. I also sue for retaliation if an employee is retaliated against for making a complaint about discrimination or a hostile work environment.

Sexual Harassment 25%

I sue employers for illegal sexual harassment under California's Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) or under the federal law. I also sue for retaliation if an employee complains about sexual harassment and then experiences any retaliation. I also sue professionals who sexually harass their customers, which an also be illegal.

Wrongful Termination 25%

I sue employers for wrongfully terminating employees when permitted by law. In California, employees can be fired for almost any reason, or no reason, but there are a number of exceptions where an employee has a right to sue. I also sue for wrongful constructive discharge (where the employee has quit, but only because the employer made the job intolerable).

Sexual harassment

When searching for representation it's not always easy finding someone whose trustworthy and knowledgeable. Myers did a great job in fighting for my rights and assisting me in attaining justice. he's very transparent and prompt. He definitely takes his job seriously and we are also moving onto anothe...r case.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Absolute best employment Attorney around.

After being taken advantage of by my Ex-employer for nearly eight years, I hired Mr. Myers. He has a extremely calm demeanor and extremely pleasant to deal with, but that's not the case when he is dealing with the opposing party. The recovery I received was far beyond what I thought I would recei...ve and he made the entire process virtually painless. I would recommend to anyone who has been treated unfairly in the work place.

Relationship: Friend

"I attended law school with Ken Myers at UC Davis School of Law. As I seem to recall, he was at the top of our class and was active in the school newspaper. Ken is one of the most intelligent and creative attorneys I have ever met. I have had the opportunity to review some complicated law and motion work that he drafted, and it was extremely well-written and thoroughly researched. I highly endorse Ken Myers."
