California Overtime Lawyer Unveils Civil Rights Division
Long Beach, CA (PRWEB) February 7, 2008 -- California overtime lawyer, Angie V. Phung is proud to announce the opening of the Civil Rights Division of United Employees Law Group.
"In many of the cases that come across my desk, I see not only instances of a failure to provide employees with proper overtime pay and proper meal and rest break periods, but other injustices such as sexual harassment, and other unreported incidents that are very common to the workplace, " says Ms. Phung. "I began to see a growing number of illegal work conditions that have gone unreported for years, simply because the employees did not think they had a voice that would be heard. This is the impetus for the formation of the Civil Rights Division of United Employees Law Group."
Ms. Phung has pursued several cases based solely on the egregious conduct of the employers who displayed a callous and blatant disregard for California Labor Laws. "It is not uncommon to litigate against employers who not only fail to pay the overtime wages that are owed to the employee, but often times, fail to even pay minimum wage." She recalls a case where the employer had allegedly asked his employees to pay back the payroll taxes he had paid to the State, as required by law, stating to the employee, "you will get this back when you are old anyway."
"Employer conduct such as the incident described above, not only harms the employee, but duly harms the state and federal government when proper taxes are not withheld and remitted, not to mention the businesses who are playing by the rules," explains Ms. Phung.
"Now, I am finding myself increasingly concerned with the mistreatment of these workers and I witness how the impact of this deplorable treatment affects their families, and reverberates to the state and federal economy as a whole," says Ms. Phung.
Employers must realize that there is a legal system that will take them to task when they abuse and exploit employees. Regardless of the employee's economic status, each individual has a right to life, liberty and to be afforded the full protection of the law. It is of fundamental importance for each individual to have the freedom to exercise these rights, unabridged.

Bankruptcy After the New Law
It has become harder to go into personal bankruptcy, but the condition of not paying bills remains whether or not formal bankruptcy is filed. The changes in the bankruptcy code of 2005 have really not changed very much. The cost of going bankrupt has increased from the $1,000 range to now more like $1,500. This is not only because of additional paperwork, but also because those going into bankruptcy must receive debt counseling both before and after they file bankruptcy.
Accident Lawyers Play A Pivotal Roll In Our Legal System
We have all seen the commercials on television. The attorney appears on the screen and asks if you have been injured in a car accident, or a slip-and-fall accident, or in countless other scenarios where your injury could be worthy of financial compensation. To many, this tactic appears uncouth, and its widespread use is one of the reasons that accident lawyers often suffer from an unsavory reputation. However, if you are among the unfortunate individuals who have been injured due to the negligence of another party, accident lawyers can be your only ally when seeking compensation for your damages or injuries.
