Employment Law (Walnut Creek)

Many employees believe that they do not have the right to hold supervisors, business owners and colleagues accountable for retaliation, sexual harassment, pregnancy discrimination or other forms of discrimination and unlawful treatment in the workplace.

The truth is, employees have rights under the law. Employee rights lawyer Deborah Barron has been helping workers in Walnut Creek combat unlawful employment practices since 1991. Built on her experience, the Barron Law builds strong cases on behalf of workers in those areas who have been mistreated by their employers.

Attorney Barron has experience representing employers as well. In fact, she has trained human resources departments at various companies on properly handling employment law issues. This allows her to see both sides of a case and anticipate some of the arguments an employer is likely to use.

Barron Law has successfully represented employees in and around Sacramento, San Francisco, and Walnut Creek who were facing serious issues related to:

  • Sexual harassment
  • Retaliation against workers, including whistleblower retaliation
  • Involuntary resignation
  • Wrongful termination
  • Discrimination based on race, sex, ethnicity, sexual orientation or any other characteristic
  • Failure to accommodate mental or physical disabilities

Do not let your right to file a claim against your employer lapse because you were unaware of the timeline for filing a case with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the Department of Employment and Housing. Talk to our lawyer about how best to protect your rights.

A Note on Severance Packages
If your employer has offered a severance package in an effort to get you to leave the company, it is a good idea to have the agreement reviewed by a lawyer in Walnut Creek. We regularly review severance agreements to make sure that workers aren’t giving up their rights. Often, workers have potential legal claims against the employer, but they sign a severance agreement that eliminates the right to sue. We are available to review all aspects of your agreement and advise you accordingly.

Sexual Abuse (Sacramento)

Holding Perpetrators of Sexual Abuse Accountable & Giving Victims a Voice

Sexual abuse is an ongoing crisis in the United States. Our firm’s founder, Deborah Barron is devoted to the legal battle against sexual abuse. As a Sacramento sexual abuse attorney, she is committed to standing up for the rights and fight for survivors of abuse and offers passionate and aggressive legal representation on behalf of her clients.

According to a U.S. Health and Human Services study, more than 83,000 substantiated reports of sexually abused children were made in one year alone. The actual number of incidents of sexual abuse is likely much higher because it is believed that sexual abuse, especially amongst children, is significantly underreported. Sexual abuse and molestation cause great suffering for victims.​

Sexual Abuse & Neglect
The abuse and betrayal often arise out of institutions of trust such as schools, daycare, youth camps, boy scouts, coaches, doctors, nurses, foster care. Abuse also impacts employees and disabled persons, employees in the workplace and travelers on cruise ships. Powerful organizations like the Catholic Church have been able to shelter accused priests and clergy as there continues to be no mention of penalties, censures, or removal from office for bishops who continue to hide and cover-up for the abusive priests. Many sexual predators are often wealthy and powerful and able to focus on vast resources and high profile legal teams in an attempt to deflect attention, avoid criminal liability, and deny justice to their victims. Our attorneys also represent victims of child pornography where pedophiles and child molesters collect and distribute child pornography.

Holding Perpetrators of Sexual Abuse Accountable
Because sexual predators tend to abuse more than one victim, pursuing a civil lawsuit can help prevent the person who did the harm from doing the same to another child or person. Sexual Abuse victims are not alone and they have the rights to pursue their claims. We want to empower victims to come forward, report crimes and hold perpetrators accountable; thereby educating the community and inspiring others to do the same.

Free Initial Legal Consultation – We Aren’t Paid unless there is a Recovery

Our consultations are free and confidential. If we take your case, we are only paid fees and costs of the suit if we succeed in winning a recovery for you. We advance the costs of your case, too, so there’s no cost to you of bringing your lawsuit or claim.

It doesn’t matter who a vulnerable child or adult is victimized by – a teacher, neighbor, religious worker, sports coach, family member or other people – children and adults who have been sexually abused have the right to effective legal representation through a high-quality attorney. In many cases, children are persuaded or coerced into sexual activity by a predatory adult. When this happens, the child has been lured or forced into sexual activity when he or she is far too young to make mature decisions or even comprehend the seriousness of the criminal act perpetrated against them. Many survivors will suffer from enduring emotional and psychological damages. At our firm, we have an incomparable reputation of success in representing such victims, which is why we are considered the leading California law firm handling sexual abuse cases.

Sexual abuse is a generic term that can refer to virtually any form of contact intended to sexually stimulate the predator or any third party. This includes molestation, inappropriate touching, child pornography, and Sexual assault. It may occur once or be repeated by the perpetrator many times. Victims have the right to seek justice. At our firm, we want to help victims of any type of abuse get the compensation they deserve. Victims can suffer long-term damage, which is why we are devoted to doing our part in the ongoing battle.

If you have been sexually abused, we are ready and willing to get you the legal help that you need. Whether you are ready to fight a case against sexual hazing at school, spousal rape, or sexual harassment through social media, we want to give you the best legal representation we can.

Whip Its – Nitrous Oxide – Death in a Can
It is illegal to inhale nitrous oxide to get high. However, there is no existing law that makes it a crime to sell nitrous oxide to those who plan to inhale it. In most instances, it may be difficult, if not impossible to determine whether the canisters are being sold for the purposes of inhalation. However, if the canisters are present in places such as tobacco stores or head shops, it is obvious they are being sold to customers who intend to inhale it. Those being sold in bulk online are another deadly story waiting to be told. The story of Whip Its is not just one of the abusers getting a high in the comfort of their home. It has been proven by law enforcement to be the cause of numerous teen deaths, fatal car crashes, and rapes.

Personal injury claims that involve catastrophic injury often involve complex medical evidence and significant financial damages.
