Eligible employees in Canoga Park have the right to take job-protected leave under the federal FMLA and California's CFRA for serious health conditions, caring for family members, or bonding with a new child. If your Canoga Park employer denied your leave request, terminated you during leave, or retaliated after you returned, we can help.

As a firm rooted in the community, we provide hands-on, personalized representation to every client. You work directly with your attorney — not a call center or case manager. We return calls promptly, explain the legal process clearly, and fight aggressively to maximize your recovery.

Protecting Your Rights as a Canoga Park Worker

• Document everything — save pay stubs, time records, emails, text messages, performance reviews, and any written communications related to your situation.
• Report the violation internally — if safe to do so, file a written complaint with HR or management. Keep a copy for your records.
• Do not resign impulsively — quitting before consulting an attorney can affect your ability to recover certain damages.
• File with the appropriate agency — depending on your claim, you may need to file with the California Civil Rights Department (CRD), the EEOC, the Labor Commissioner, or Cal/OSHA.
