Welcome

San Francisco Bay Area Employment Law Attorney

I am Stephen R. Jaffe, an employment trial lawyer with almost forty years of experience. I represent only employees never employers.

If you have been the victim of wrongful termination, workplace retaliation, unlawful discrimination or sexual harassment, I would like to try to help you.

If you are negotiating an employment contract, or severance agreement with your current employer, I want to help you.

I assure that each of my clients receive the attention and resources necessary for successful resolution of their case. I do not charge a fee for an initial consultation.

There's no substitute for experience.

I have been helping people in the San Francisco Bay area with their legal problems for almost four decades. For the last twenty years, I've concentrated my practice on the legal rights of employees in the workplace.

I have extensive trial experience. Many employee claims are resolved through alternative dispute resolution (ADR), such as mediation or arbitration. This is also true of cases where the employer is a government entity. However, some cases inevitably go to trial.

I am proud to say that my experience and my dedication to the legal profession have earned me the Martindale-Hubbell's AV* rating, its highest level.

The law gives you rights as an employee.

Your income is the foundation for much of your quality of life. From supplying the basics -- food, shelter, and clothing -- to those things that make life enjoyable and meaningful, your income is indispensable. The laws of the United States, and the laws of the state of California, provide that no one may refuse to hire you, deprive you of advancement, or fire you because of age, race, national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, disability or pregnancy.

If an employer has failed to hire you, failed to promote you, or wrongfully discharged you, you may be entitled to money damages and other relief.

To find out what your rights are, contact Stephen R. Jaffe, Employment Lawyer, today.
