We Can Help with Your Discrimination or Harassment Claim

Employment discrimination can come in many forms. We have litigated cases in which a potential employer believes that they were passed up solely based on age. Some employers use this as a tactic to avoid paying higher salaries for employees. Other cases have involved discrimination based on sexual orientation. Perhaps the employer has closely held biases that lead to discrimination during the hiring process. 

We have also dealt with some of the most complex cases working with little evidence. Attorney John Dalton’s investigative and intelligence experience as a former CIA officer has not gone to waste on this front. Be assured that your case will be handled with the utmost care and attention to detail. Now is the time to hire an experienced employment lawyer. Whether you are located in Solana Beach or in San Francisco, we can represent you because we handle cases throughout the state of California. 

No one should be subjected to employment discrimination or harassment. With our firm in your corner, you do not have to be an expert on employment law. Just gather your records and give us a call. We will handle the rest. 

YOU KNOW SOMETHING ISN’T RIGHT

Whether it is harassment, discrimination, or a paycheck that never adds up the way it should, being mistreated at work wears on you, and it is not always clear what to do about it. You do not have to sort out which law applies or whether your situation qualifies before you reach out. John Dalton will hear what happened and help you understand where you stand, with no pressure and no judgment.

What you need is the right lawyer that can win you the fair result that you deserve. Our firm is one of the best in the State of California—our track record speaks for itself.

We Are Experienced Litigators Who Will See Your Case to the End

Our firm has handled employment law claims from beginning to end. This is why we are always prepared to take your case to court, if necessary. Not all cases can be settled while ensuring that an employee receives their pay of just compensation. If your claim needs to be brought to court because of your stubborn employer, attorney John Dalton has the capability to do so. With his decades of experience in the courtroom, John has garnered a reputation for being assertive and a zealous advocate for his clients. 

Do Not Delay Filing Your Employment Claim

Your claim will be subject to California’s statute of limitations. Depending on the type of labor claim that you intend to file, you may have only three years or less to file a complaint with the Department of Fair Employment and Housing and EEOC.  Employment claims dealing with harassment, discrimination, or retaliation have a statute of limitation of one year to file a claim after receiving a “right to sue” notice from the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) or EEOC. Claims dealing with failure to pay wages generally have a statute of limitation of three years after the last incident of nonpayment. If your claim deals with a breach of a written contract, you will have four years to file your complaint. Breach of a verbal contract has an even shorter period for filing—two years.

Full disclosure: John W. Dalton is not my attorney, but he has been an invaluable resource during my employment case. I had the privilege of connecting with him, and he generously offered thoughtful, well-informed guidance backed by years of experience. He has a rare combination of deep legal knowledge and a genuinely kind, reassuring bedside manner. John took the time to point me toward several trusted recommendations, for which I am truly grateful. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with him is in excellent hands and fortunate to have his perspective and integrity guiding them. He is knowledgeable, generous with his time, and a true stand-up human. My vote is wholeheartedly for John W. Dalton.

John Dalton took on my sexual harassment case against a major corporation. He made me feel seen and heard. With his wealth of knowledge and dedication to his work he won my case. I am forever grateful to John for listening to me when others had not and fighting so hard for me. If you need an attorney I highly recommend John Dalton.

I needed help. John took my discrimination case against San Gabriel Valley Medical Center and really got to work. There was no settlement and John did not hesitate to take the case to trial. He worked hard and covered everything. He was really good in the trial, and, we won! John was everything you could ask for in a lawyer, very easy to talk to, always available, tenacious and very knowledgeable. He really is a great lawyer. If you are being mistreated at work, call him.
