Our attorneys have years of experience in protecting the rights of individuals and businesses in employment law matters. Whether you are an employee who has a claim against an employer or an employer who needs assistance complying with regulations or defending a frivolous claim, The Andal Law Group is here to help.

Employee Representation

You are guaranteed fair wages as an employee. However, at times, employers do not follow the law and fail to compensate their employees properly. If you’ve had a dispute with your employer over a failure to pay overtime, provide required meal breaks and rest periods, or being misclassified as an independent contractor, then the Andal Law Group can help.

If you feel as though you have been discriminated against in your workplace, that your employer created a hostile work environment, or that you were wrongfully terminated from a position, The Andal Law Group can assist you with those claims as well.

Employer Representation

When an adverse claim is made, you need accessible, knowledgeable counsel. We are experienced in defending all employee actions including wage and hour disputes, breach of contract, wrongful termination, sexual harassment, discrimination, labor code violations, retaliation, hostile work environment, invasion of privacy, and workplace violence.

Employers also need to be in compliance with state and federal regulations. Federal and State laws regulate every aspect of the employer-employee relationship. Regulations and the court’s interpretations change on almost a daily basis. We will review all of your applications, manuals, practices, and procedures to ensure you are in compliance.

Gain Peace of Mind

Our goal is to create peace of mind for you and your family by resolving conflicts or by preventing them before they begin. Estate planning can be a difficult issue for many people to face, but it is a necessary process. Our comprehensive estate plans address important issues such as:

● Preserving your wealth during and after your lifetime
● Designating someone to manage your assets for your benefit should you be unable to do so
● Who will make your medical decisions if you are unable to do so
● Ensuring those you care about receive your property after your death
● Avoiding probate where possible by removing property from the probate estate
● Minimizing tax consequences

Probate is a very long and expensive process. It can take longer than a year and courts closely supervise probate so fees can accumulate quickly. Additionally, your probate estate is a matter of public record. Our comprehensive estate plans seek to avoid probate or to minimize the contents of the probate estate so that your loved ones receive property quickly, without having to wait for the probate process.

Comprehensive Estate Plans Tailored to Fit Your Needs

Our Orange County Estate Planning Attorneys understand that a comprehensive estate plan should do more than simply distribute your assets. A good estate plan can provide for your care should you become incapacitated and establish a continuing source of income for your loved ones after your death. We create comprehensive estate plans that are tailored to fit your needs using a variety of estate planning tools:

● Last Will and Testament
● Trusts [Revocable Living Trusts, Spendthrift Trust, Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust, Special Needs Trust] ● Powers of Attorney [Living Will, Durable Financial Powers of Attorney, Advance Health Care Directives] ● Specific final arrangements, such as whether to be buried or cremated, are also often part of the documents
● Guardianship
● Beneficiary designations
● Powers of Appointment
● Property Ownership

Don’t wait any longer, call the experienced attorneys at Andal Law Group today and get your estate in order. Protect your family and legacy.

Asylum: If you face persecution in your native country, seek shelter in California

What is Asylum? Asylum is an immigration status the can be claimed here in the U.S. by foreign nationals. Those seeking asylum are fearful of persecution in their country of origin and wish to escape the persecution by staying here in the U.S. Persecution means harm because of someone’s: 1) political beliefs, 2) gender, 3) sexual orientation, 4) ethnicity, 5) nationality, or any other “group” of people sharing a common identity. Individuals who fear torture, rape, imprisonment, death, marginalization–among many other situations–are considered acts of persecution if they are committed based on those five grounds..

Eligibility. To be eligible for asylum, you must prove that 1) you are unable to return to your country of origin because you have a well- founded fear of either past or future persecution; and that 2) your persecution is on account of your race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or your political opinion. These five grounds can be further broken down into sub-groups, such as sexual orientation, gender, and other minority groups.
