Firm Information

Overview

At Sanford Heisler Sharp McKnight, LLP, we represent employees in La Jolla, California, who face unlawful workplace practices. Our employment law practice protects individuals dealing with age, gender, race, pregnancy, religion, national origin and sexual orientation discrimination, as well as sexual harassment, retaliation and wage violations. When illegal conduct threatens your career, financial security or professional opportunities, we provide aggressive representation to safeguard your rights and secure the justice you deserve.

We approach every case with strategic precision, deep empathy and absolute dedication to our clients. Recognizing the severe personal and professional impact of workplace misconduct, we conduct thorough investigations to construct unassailable legal arguments. Through transparent communication, we guide you through each stage of the legal process, demystifying complex procedures while keeping you fully informed. Whether through decisive negotiation or courtroom litigation, we fight tirelessly to hold employers accountable and recover appropriate restitution.

Beyond workplace discrimination, our attorneys represent brave whistleblowers uncovering fraud and corporate wrongdoing, including complex qui tam claims. Cases involving fraud against the government demand meticulous factual analysis and deep legal expertise. We work closely with tipsters to evaluate evidence, safeguard their careers and apply crucial legal protections. By guiding whistleblowers through every intricate step of the process, we help bring illegal practices to light while zealously fighting to protect our clients.

We offer free initial consultations to make accessing top-tier legal representation as seamless as possible. During this confidential session, we listen to your story, evaluate the facts of your workplace or whistleblower claim, and outline actionable legal strategies at zero financial risk to you. To ensure maximum convenience and flexibility, we accept credit cards and offer virtual appointments, allowing you to connect with our legal team comfortably from anywhere.
