Reading the roster in Bakersfield. For a workplace matter, look for attorneys who practice employment law on the side of the table you sit on, most represent either workers or employers, rarely both. Ask whether the attorney has taken wage-and-hour or FEHA cases through the county's superior court or PAGA and arbitration procedures, how they evaluate damages, and whether they work on contingency for termination and harassment claims. Bring your personnel file, pay records, and any severance offer to a first call.
