The Manukyan Law Firm serves employees throughout California who need representation in employment disputes. We recognize that workplace mistreatment may involve harassment, discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination, or disputes concerning wages. Our Glendale employment attorneys are familiar with federal and California laws designed to protect employees, and we use those legal protections when building cases for clients. Employees should not have to sacrifice their rights because they depend on their jobs, whether they are hourly workers or white-collar executives. We help clients identify unlawful employment practices and understand the legal remedies that may be available. Our firm believes that protecting an employees interests requires understanding the specific circumstances surrounding the dispute.
Employment claims can involve a variety of potential remedies, including past and future lost earnings, out-of-pocket expenses, hiring or reinstatement, promotion, reasonable accommodations, emotional distress damages, punitive damages, and attorneys fees and court costs. We represent employees and, in most California employment cases, applicants, unpaid interns, volunteers, or contractors may also have the ability to pursue a complaint against a public, private, or government employer. Applicable protections may arise under federal legislation, including the ADEA, ADA, EPA, FLSA, FMLA, GINA, OSHA regulations, PDA, Rehabilitation Act, SOX, Title VII, and USERRA, as well as California laws such as FEHA, CFRA, the Labor Code, minimum wage requirements, and PDL. When clients believe their rights have been violated, we review their circumstances and provide honest guidance concerning available legal options.

Services
At Manukyan Law Firm, we help employees address serious workplace mistreatment, including wage theft, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wrongful termination. We understand that taking action against an employer can be intimidating. Our practice focuses on standing beside employees as they assert their rights. We do not charge legal fees until the case is resolved.
When an employee is dismissed because of discrimination, retaliation, or another unlawful reason, legal options may be available. We assist workers in documenting relevant incidents, preserving employment records, and understanding the claim process. Our approach also addresses constructive discharge when hostile workplace conditions leave an employee feeling compelled to resign, with careful attention to supporting evidence.
We provide legal representation for California employees facing workplace disability discrimination. Our attorneys address discrimination involving physical, mental, or medical conditions and review circumstances involving adverse employment actions. We also help clients understand protections under the ADA and FEHA. When appropriate, we pursue remedies such as accommodations, lost earnings, reinstatement, and damages.
Employees should not have to tolerate sexual harassment or face an abusive work environment without legal support. We provide representation for claims involving supervisory sexual demands, unwelcome sexual behavior, offensive jokes or language, unwanted touching, sexual assault, and related threats. Our attorneys work with clients to build their cases, pursue available compensation, and protect their workplace rights.
Manukyan Law Firm provides legal representation for employees dealing with wage and hour disputes. We assist with claims involving unpaid overtime, inaccurate reporting of hours, withheld vacation or sick pay, off-the-clock work, misclassification, and other forms of wage theft. Our goal is to help workers understand their rights and pursue the compensation they are owed.
Our pregnancy discrimination practice is focused on protecting employees from workplace mistreatment connected to pregnancy, pregnancy-related disabilities, and postpartum health issues. We help clients evaluate direct and circumstantial evidence of discrimination while considering relevant federal and California laws. Through careful review of each claim, we seek to protect workplace rights and pursue compensation for resulting financial and emotional hardships.
We represent employees who have experienced gender discrimination in the workplace based on sex, gender identity, or gender expression. Our firm handles matters involving unequal pay, denied promotions, harassment, exclusion from opportunities, retaliation, and wrongful termination. We help clients understand their rights under California and federal law. Our attorneys provide experienced, compassionate representation throughout the legal process.

I cant thank Chareta Manukyan enough for the incredible support and dedication she showed while helping with my dads disability case. From start to finish, she was knowledgeable, patient, and truly compassionate during a very stressful time for our family. She took the time to explain every step clearly and made sure we felt confident and supported throughout the entire process.
Her professionalism and attention to detail made a huge difference, and thanks to her hard work, everything went smoothly. Its rare to find someone who genuinely cares about their clients the way she does.
I highly recommend Chareta to anyone in need of help with a disability caseyoull be in great hands!

Manukyan Law firm was the only place that would take my case. After calling 12+ law firms, no one would take my case, even with a refferal. Edgar was professional, kind, and reasonable. I will be referring all wrongful termination cases to Edgar at Manukyan Law firm. I am so pleased with our outcome and his services. I am confident he can help you.

Got involved in a incident over a year ago and ended up contacting Edgar Manukyan that same day and he told me to enjoy the weekend, as I had major plans, and dont worry about anything. After the shock and adrenaline settled I realized I wasnt as well as I assumed. I Contacted Edgar again and he guided me and advised me through out the whole process. He communicated with me regularly. He called me most of the time to update. To make this short he gave me an idea of what to expect from the entire process and he delivered 100%! Now What supersized me is Edgar ended up going the extra mile whiteout my knowledge and ended up gettin a much larger settlement then I anticipated or hoped for. The man is my go to lawyer because of his professionalism, constant sincere dialogue of my well being and regular updates of the case. Thanks brother!

I had a major issue that couldnt be resolved by many and after meeting with multiple different attorneys, I finally found the right one. Mr. Manukyan was nothing but professional, knowledgeable and straight to the point. He clearly explained the process and how itll be and it indeed went the way we anticipated. No surprises and great communication. Very happy I ended up using him as my attorney.

Edgar cared about me and my case. He seen right through the BS that the company had done. He has change my quality of life by his representation and caring for me as a person, not just a client. I had a previous attorney that was after money and money only. Edgar, fought for what we discussed we could get, and he got what he said he would get.
Thank you so much for everything!!!
