How would one go about finding a good employment lawyer who represents employees? -

This is in California. Based on what I have heard in the past, there are plenty of good lawyers who represent corporations but not employees.

You should look for what is called Wrongful Termination, if that is the case with you. In general, low firms who advertise Employment Law typically sell their services to Corporate HR departments. Also, keep in mind that the so called referral firms are advertising shops. Lawyers pay to get on those lists and the referral firms do not know so much about the lawyers. So, where should one go? Look for Wrongful Termination as well as for firms that engage in Class Action suits. You may even couple that up with the name of your firm and see if there are any law firms out there that have filed and won class action suits against your employer. Good luck to you.

Go to your phone book. Call your local (usually county) bar association. Ask them if they have an quot;Attorney Referral Servicequot;, or ask them if they will simply give you some names of some attorneys that specialize in employment law. You are going to need to get several names, if possible. Then call EACH law office and ASK them if they represent companies or employees. Good luck. (I am not an attorney. My previous answer was based on my knowledge, information, and beliefs.)
