As a San Luis Obispo County employment attorney, Michael Yerzinkyan represents employees throughout the region in wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and unpaid wage disputes.

An Employment Lawyer Serving All of San Luis Obispo County
San Luis Obispo County runs along California’s Central Coast, with an economy built on agriculture and wine, tourism and hospitality, education, healthcare, and public service. We represent workers across the county, including San Luis Obispo, Paso Robles, Atascadero, Arroyo Grande, Pismo Beach, and Morro Bay. Most San Luis Obispo County employment cases that reach litigation are filed at the San Luis Obispo Superior Court, and we handle that process from the first demand letter through trial when a case requires it. Knowing how the local court operates, and how area employers tend to respond, is a genuine advantage when we build and present your claim.
How a San Luis Obispo County Employment Attorney Can Help You
California gives workers some of the strongest protections in the country, but those protections only matter if they are enforced. We handle wrongful termination, workplace discrimination based on protected characteristics, sexual harassment and hostile work environment claims, retaliation and whistleblower cases under Labor Code 1102.5, employee misclassification, and unpaid wage and overtime disputes. If your employer punished you for reporting misconduct, denied you meal and rest breaks, misclassified you to avoid paying overtime, or fired you for a reason the law does not allow, we can help you understand your options and pursue the compensation you are owed.
Many of the rights that protect San Luis Obispo County employees come from the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, which is enforced by the California Civil Rights Department. These laws prohibit discrimination and harassment based on protected characteristics and forbid employers from retaliating against workers who assert their rights. Understanding how these statutes apply to your specific situation is exactly the kind of analysis we provide during a consultation.
Every case begins with listening. We want to understand what happened at your job, what documents and messages you have, and what outcome matters most to you. From there we explain the deadlines that apply, the strength of your claim, and the realistic range of results, so you can make an informed decision about how to move forward. Some cases settle once an employer sees that a worker is represented; others require formal litigation. Either way, we prepare every matter as though it may go to trial, because thorough preparation is what drives strong results for the workers we represent.
No Fee Unless We Win
We take employment cases on a contingency basis, which means you pay nothing out of pocket and we are only paid if we recover money for you. That structure lets Central Coast workers stand up to large employers and their insurance companies without worrying about legal bills piling up while their case moves forward. It also keeps our interests aligned with yours from the very first day, because we only succeed when you do.
