Los Angeles Employment & Wrongful Termination Lawyers Near You

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.

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.

Proven

$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.

Not Every Attorney Will Go the Distance

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.

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.

You Bring the Problem. We Solve 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.

The employer’s stated reason

Downsizing, performance issues, restructuring — whatever they put on paper or told you on your way out. We document the official story first.

The true reason behind the termination

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.

Two Steps to Getting You Compensated

Step One

Liability

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.

Step Two

Damages

Once liability is established, we calculate what you're owed. The law is designed to compensate you — to make you whole again.

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.

It Changes People at a Molecular Level

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.

“Any problem that is man-made can be solved by man.”

You Bring the Problem. We Solve It.

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.

We Qualify the Case

California employment? Employer large enough for the law to apply? We verify the basics and ask the two critical questions about your termination.

02

You Sign, We Take Over

Retainer signed, letter of representation sent to your employer. All communications now go through us. You don't talk to them — we do.

03

We Build the Case

You upload your documents to a secure drive. We request your personnel file, gather evidence, and build the case from both sides.

Los Angeles Employment Law Practice Areas

Why Hire a Los Angeles Employment Lawyer

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.

Trial-Tested Litigation

14+ years of employment litigation in Los Angeles courts. We file lawsuits, depose witnesses, argue motions, and take cases to verdict when necessary.

$34.7 Million Verdict Record

Our record-breaking Fonseca v. Walmart verdict made national headlines. Defense firms and mediators know our track record — and they take our cases seriously.

Contingency — No Fees Unless We Win

You pay nothing upfront. We invest our resources into your case and only get paid when you get compensated. Your fight is our fight.

No Fees Unless We Win — Los Angeles Employment Lawyers on Contingency

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.

Why You Need a Los Angeles Employment Lawyer

The fight does not end when you are terminated — it begins.

01

The Evidence May Disappear

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.

02

You Need Equal Firepower

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.

03

Engineered to Undervalue Your Claim

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.

The Attorney You Choose Determines Your Outcome Before the First Conversation.

Los Angeles Employment Law FAQ

How long do I have to file a wrongful termination claim in California?

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.

Can my employment case settle out of court in Los Angeles?

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.

What qualifies as wrongful termination in California?

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.

How much does it cost to hire an employment lawyer in Los Angeles?

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.

Serving Los Angeles County & Surrounding Communities

Eldessouky Law represents wrongfully terminated employees across Los Angeles County, Orange County, San Bernardino County, Riverside County, and Ventura County.

What Our Clients Say

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!

Ronda F. · Google Review

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

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!!!
