Clear Legal Guidance for California Workers
Discrimination, Harassment, Retaliation, and Wage Claims
When your rights are violated at work, the process of holding your employer accountable shouldn’t be confusing or overwhelming. This is where Kurt will step in to help. I focus solely on employment law for workers—not companies—because I believe in restoring fairness when careers are disrupted by injustice. Based in Berkeley, I serve clients locally and across California with clarity, experience, and commitment.
Employment Law Areas
Workplace Discrimination
If you’ve been treated unfairly at work or fired because of your age, race, gender, disability, or other protected status, you may have a legal claim. I help employees fight back against discrimination and restore their standing.
Harassment
No one should have to endure a hostile or abusive workplace. I represent employees who have experienced sexual harassment, or other forms of harassment, intimidation based on protected characteristics.
Wrongful Termination
If you were fired for an unlawful reason—such as discrimination, retaliation, or after reporting workplace violations—I can help you understand your rights and pursue legal action.
Retaliation & Whistleblower Claims
Employees who report unsafe, illegal, or unethical conduct have legal protections. I represent whistleblowers and others who face retaliation for standing up or speaking out.
Wage & Hour Violations
I help employees recover unpaid wages, overtime, and missed meal and rest breaks. If you've been misclassified or shortchanged, let’s talk about how to get what you're owed.
Disability Discrimination & Workplace Health
With a rare background in occupational health, I represent workers who’ve faced discrimination due to a disability, illness, or medical condition—especially when tied to workplace safety.
