About Employees First Labor Law

Employees First Labor Law (EFLL) is a California labor, employment and workers' compensation firm headquartered in Pasadena. According to the firm's website, it represents employees only and handles claims involving wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, unpaid wages and workplace injuries. The site says the firm was founded by a former corporate lawyer and that employment law and workers' compensation are handled under one roof.

The website lists practice areas including wage and hour violations, disability and pregnancy discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation, reasonable accommodations, FMLA and CFRA leave rights, ERISA benefit disputes, and mediation and arbitration. Attorneys named on the site include Jonathan P. LaCour, Lisa Noveck, Amanda Thompson, Jameson Evans and Ben Twisk; Amanda Thompson is described as a partner and trial attorney who earned her undergraduate degree at UC Riverside and her J.D. from Loyola Law School.

The firm states that it works on a no-fee-unless-we-win basis, under which clients are not liable for legal fees, court costs or expert fees unless the case is won, and that it offers a free, no-obligation case consultation. Besides Pasadena, the site lists offices in Bakersfield, Fresno, Irvine, Long Beach, Pomona and Riverside, and says each client is assigned a case manager.
