Why Choose Kingsley Szamet?
Being fired illegally, underpaid, harassed, or discriminated against at work is both financially devastating and deeply personal. Kingsley Szamet Employment Lawyers has spent nearly 30 years representing employees — only employees, never employers — and it shows in their track record: $300 million recovered for California workers. They are the only California employment firm to win the "Best In Law" award. Founding partner Eric Kingsley is nationally recognized and brings particular depth in wage-and-hour class actions, a complex area where individual employees can often recover unpaid overtime for entire workplaces. The contingency fee model means your financial recovery is aligned with theirs. If you've been wrongfully terminated, harassed, or cheated out of wages, Kingsley Szamet is a firm worth contacting immediately.

What Clients Say
"I was fired two weeks after telling HR about unsafe working conditions — clearly retaliation. Kingsley Szamet took my case, fought hard, and settled for an amount I never expected. They kept me informed throughout and genuinely cared about the outcome."
"My employer had been shorting overtime pay for years. Eric Kingsley's team filed a class action and ultimately recovered back pay for me and 300 of my coworkers. The process took time but the result spoke for itself."
"At 58 I was passed over for promotions and then laid off despite years of strong performance reviews. Kelsey Szamet handled my age discrimination case with care and professionalism. Settled well above what I was initially hoping for."
