When your employer took your livelihood, they counted on you hiring a firm that wouldn’t fight. Eldessouky Law has the resources and the resolve to file the lawsuit, depose the witnesses, and take your case to a jury if that’s what it takes.
If you were fired illegally, harassed at work, or punished for doing the right thing, Eldessouky Law represents you. Our Los Angeles employment lawyers fight for wrongfully terminated employees, sexual harassment victims, whistleblowers, and workers denied the wages and protections California law guarantees them.
We do not send demand letters and hope for the best. We file lawsuits, depose witnesses under oath, argue motions in Los Angeles Superior Court, and take employment cases to trial when the other side refuses to pay what our clients are owed. Our $34.7 million verdict in Fonseca v. Walmart is the clearest proof of that commitment — and it is far from our only result.
As a Los Angeles employment law firm serving LA County and surrounding communities, Eldessouky Law provides wrongful termination attorneys, workplace discrimination lawyers, and wage and hour advocates who understand California-specific statutes and deadlines. If you need an employment lawyer near you, call (213) 788-7887 for a free consultation.
14+ Years Litigating Employment Cases in Los Angeles Courts
Founding attorney Mohamed Eldessouky has spent over 14 years handling employment law litigation across California. From wrongful termination and disability discrimination to whistleblower retaliation and wage theft, his practice is built on courtroom results — not paperwork.
$34.7M Record Verdict — Fonseca v. Walmart
The largest employment verdict of its kind in San Bernardino Superior Court. A truck driver who deserved justice received it because Eldessouky Law prepared for trial and delivered when it mattered.
In employment law, the employer never admits wrongdoing. The only way to uncover the truth — and get real compensation — is through litigation. But most firms never file a lawsuit. They send a letter, ask nicely, and when they're told no, they drop your case.
Demand rejected. Not taken seriously.
Different category. Demand gets taken seriously.
Defense firms and the insurance companies that protect these corporations pay attention to who's on the other side. Your attorney's track record shapes the outcome before a single conversation takes place.
Who you hire determines whether the other side takes your case seriously — or dismisses it.
When you call our firm, we'll walk you through an intake to understand your situation. We review the facts, identify possible claims, and get to the heart of what happened.
Downsizing, performance issues, restructuring — whatever they put on paper or told you on your way out. We document the official story first.
The timing that didn't make sense, the retaliation after you spoke up, the pregnancy you just announced. We distinguish the stated reason from the real one — that's where cases live.
Did your employer violate the law? Sexual harassment, disability discrimination, wrongful termination, wage theft, whistleblower retaliation — the specific law doesn't matter until we prove it was broken.
Once liability is established, we calculate what you're owed. The law is designed to compensate you — to make you whole again.
Wrongful Termination
Jury verdict for a Walmart truck driver falsely accused of dishonesty after taking medical leave. Walmart surveilled him during personal travel and fired him for an "integrity violation" despite no proof of wrongdoing. The jury awarded both compensatory and punitive damages.
Wrongful Termination
Settlement for an employee who was laid off while on medical leave.
Wrongful Termination
An arbitration AWARD following a weeklong evidentiary hearing for an employee who was terminated for making complaints of a hostile work environment and inappropriate sexual comments at work.
Discrimination
Recovery for an employee who spoke out against ongoing racial harassment and a hostile work environment. The company failed to take meaningful action, violating California workplace protection laws.
Disability Discrimination
Disability Discrimination and Unreasonable Accommodation for a Registered Nurse who worked at Hospital
Racial Discrimination
Racial Discrimination and Failure to Promote settlement for a client who was still employed.
Mohamed founded Eldessouky Law on one premise: employees deserve the same caliber of legal firepower that employers bring to the table. He built a practice that prepares every case for trial — and that posture changes outcomes. His landmark $34.7 million verdict in Fonseca v. Walmart is the clearest proof of that approach.
He represents workers facing wrongful termination, sexual harassment, disability discrimination, retaliation, and wage theft across Los Angeles and Southern California. When the law has been broken, he intends to use it.
When someone loses their job wrongfully, it doesn't just affect their bank account. They lose their appetite. They can't sleep. Cortisol levels go up. Chemical imbalances take hold. They stop being romantic with their partners. They don't want to hug their children. They avoid their friends because they don't want to be the person who can't afford to buy a round.
Mohamed Eldessouky has seen this transformation hundreds of times — and he's seen the transformation back. When people are compensated, when they're told by a jury or a settlement that yes, they were wronged, it doesn't just pay the bills. It restores their pride. They walk differently. The chip on their shoulder lifts.
And it creates a ripple effect. When a company pays a significant verdict, they change their systems. The next employee in that same situation gets treated differently. The work isn't just about one case — it's about making the workplace safer for everyone who comes after.
This is why Mohamed built this firm. He watched his own father go through wrongful termination and saw what it did to his family. Years later, when he won his first employment cases and watched his clients physically transform — from broken to redeemed — he knew this was what he was meant to do.
When you engage our firm, the expectation is simple: you give us the facts, and we take over. We've been doing this for nearly 14 years — we know what's relevant and what's not. You let us get you compensated.
California employment? Employer large enough for the law to apply? We verify the basics and ask the two critical questions about your termination.
Retainer signed, letter of representation sent to your employer. All communications now go through us. You don't talk to them — we do.
You upload your documents to a secure drive. We request your personnel file, gather evidence, and build the case from both sides.
If the case can resolve favorably without litigation, we pursue that. If the other side draws a line in the sand, we file the lawsuit and go the distance.
Through mediation, settlement, or trial — we pursue the maximum result. Our track record speaks for itself.
Eldessouky Law represents employees across the full spectrum of California employment law violations. Every case is evaluated for litigation potential — not just a demand letter.
Fired for reporting misconduct, taking medical leave, or opposing illegal practices. Our wrongful termination lawyers in Los Angeles prove the employer's stated reason is a pretext for the real one.
Hostile work environments, unwanted advances, retaliation for reporting. As Los Angeles sexual harassment attorneys, we hold employers accountable for failing to protect their employees.
Denied reasonable accommodations, forced out after a medical condition, or terminated while on protected leave.
You reported illegal activity and they punished you for it. Our Los Angeles whistleblower retaliation attorneys protect employees who speak up.
Unpaid overtime, missed meal and rest breaks, misclassification, final paycheck violations.
Terminated or demoted for taking legally protected medical or family leave.
Not every employment lawyer will file a lawsuit. Not every firm has the resources to go to trial. We do — and that difference shapes every outcome.
14+ years of employment litigation in Los Angeles courts. We file lawsuits, depose witnesses, argue motions, and take cases to verdict when necessary.
Our record-breaking Fonseca v. Walmart verdict made national headlines. Defense firms and mediators know our track record — and they take our cases seriously.
You pay nothing upfront. We invest our resources into your case and only get paid when you get compensated. Your fight is our fight.
Eldessouky Law works on contingency for employment cases. That means no upfront costs, no hourly fees, and no retainer. You pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.
This model aligns our incentives directly with yours. When we take your case, we invest our own resources — attorney hours, expert witnesses, court costs — because we believe in the outcome. If we don't win, we don't get paid. That's the agreement.
Employment law firms that go to trial operate this way for a reason: they're selective about the cases they take, and they fight harder because their compensation depends on your result. That's how Eldessouky Law has built a track record that includes a $34.7 million verdict — by treating every client's case as if the firm's future depends on it.

The fight does not end when you are terminated — it begins.
Your former employer will deny wrongdoing. Human resources will rewrite the narrative. Internal records will be scrubbed, edited, or conveniently lost. Without a wrongful termination attorney near you who understands how corporate defense works, the evidence you need may disappear before you ever file a claim.
Employment claims in California are complex. Navigating FEHA, Title VII, the California Labor Code, and agency deadlines like the CRD filing window requires experience that most people do not have. Your employer has corporate defense counsel on retainer — attorneys whose entire job is to minimize what they pay you. You need equal firepower on your side.
Insurance companies and corporate counsel are engineered to undervalue your claim. They study settlement patterns, they know which attorneys never file lawsuits, and they adjust their offers accordingly. Without an employment lawyer who litigates in Los Angeles Superior Court and understands California-specific procedures, employees routinely settle for a fraction of what their case is worth.
Under California law, you generally have one to three years depending on the type of claim. FEHA discrimination and retaliation claims require filing with the Civil Rights Department (CRD) within three years of the adverse action. Wage claims may have different deadlines. The sooner you speak with an employment lawyer, the stronger your position.
Many employment cases resolve through mediation or negotiated settlement before trial. However, the strength of your settlement depends on whether the other side believes your attorney will actually go the distance. Firms without litigation experience settle for less — or get their demands rejected entirely.
California is an at-will employment state, but employers cannot fire you for illegal reasons — discrimination based on race, gender, disability, age, or religion; retaliation for reporting harassment or safety violations; or exercising your rights under FMLA/CFRA. If the employer's stated reason doesn't match the real reason, you may have a case.
Eldessouky Law works on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing unless we win your case. There are no upfront costs, no hourly fees, and no retainer required. We invest our own resources into building your case.
Eldessouky Law represents wrongfully terminated employees across Los Angeles County, Orange County, San Bernardino County, Riverside County, and Ventura County.
THE DREAM TEAM! Mohamed and those around him really are operating at an elite level. Right from the first call I was filled with confidence as they not only intently listened, but probed to discover new elements I hadn't considered that only strengthened my position. This attention to detail is why this firm comes with a great reputation. They aren't intimidated by anyone, something I read prior and then seen first-hand. I would highly recommend Eldessouky Law to anyone who's ready to have one of the best legal teams standing beside you.

Mo really helped my husband when others chose not to. Not because my husband didn't have a good case, but because his employer was a big powerful company with endless money. In the end we won and if it weren't for Mo we wouldn't have gotten here. It was a long journey with others that helped but Mo got the ball rolling. Forever in debt to Eldessouky Law!

Mo is an attorney and you think of them as you do used car salesman. But Mo sticks his neck way out for you and works really really hard. He told me that even if it doesn't feel like he's working on my case, he is. That became clear during trial when all of his hard work came out. I had no idea of all that he had done until then. I contacted Mo in 2018 and we just finished my case, years of hard work which never cost me a penny and financially saved me. We were up against a mega company with deep pockets but he never gave up. I owe this man more than I can ever repay him! If anyone was to ask for labor attorney Mo, without a doubt would be the attorney I'd refer. Thanks Mo!!!
