Phillips, Erlewine & Carlin LLP

If you believe your rights as an employee have been violated, you should immediately reach out to an employment attorney for guidance. Our team of skilled employment attorneys provides comprehensive legal counsel and representation in a variety of employment matters from pre-litigation negotiations to trial if necessary. Our experience encompasses many facets of employment law, enabling us to offer our clients tailored advice in addressing the diverse challenges they may encounter in the workplace.

We proudly assist employees who have faced unlawful treatment throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and California.

We understand that each employment matter is unique, and we take the time to listen to our clients' concerns, assess their specific situations, and develop strategic plans to achieve favorable outcomes.

Discrimination and harassment are pervasive issues in many workplaces, and our employment attorneys are well-versed in the laws that protect employees from unfair treatment. We represent clients who have faced discrimination based on race, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, or other protected characteristics, as well as those who have endured sexual or workplace harassment. Our team is committed to holding employers accountable and seeking remedies to restore our clients' rights and dignity.

Wage and hour disputes are another a common concern for employees that the Guardian estimates at $50 billion per year for workers in the United States. Our firm represents workers who have been denied fair wages, overtime pay, or other benefits to which they are entitled under state and federal laws, and we have secured significant settlements for our clients.

Our goal is to ensure fairness, compliance, and resolution for our clients who have experienced violations of their workplace rights. We recognize that the landscape of employment law is constantly evolving, with new regulations, court rulings, and societal shifts impacting the way businesses operate. As a result, we stay up to date on the latest developments in employment law, allowing us to provide our clients with informed and effective legal counsel.

You can trust us to be your dedicated employment lawyers, committed to achieving the best possible outcomes for you in whatever employment matter you may face.

Accidents happen. In many circumstances, they happen due to another party’s negligence and would have likely been preventable had the other party taken proper safety measures. When such accidents result in injuries, your life can be disrupted in many ways both physically and emotionally. The aftermath of such an event may bring about a series of challenges including navigating medical appointments, dealing with insurance companies, taking leave from work, and not being able to participate in the activities you enjoy.

At Phillips, Erlewine, Given & Carlin, our injury attorneys will help navigate you through every step of the process from intake through settlement or verdict. We understand how your life has changed and strive to alleviate some of the burden so you can focus on recovering from your injuries. Whether you have been injured in a car accident, a slip and fall incident, a case of medical malpractice, or another situation where someone else’s actions have caused you harm, our team is here to support you every step of the way and combine legal proficiency with compassion and empathy to help lead to the best possible outcome. But don’t just take our word for it—see what our clients have to say.

For over four decades, we have proudly served clients in the San Francisco Bay Area and California in a wide range of personal injury cases. We recognize that each case is unique, and we are committed to understanding the specific circumstances of your situation.

A car, truck, or motorcycle accident can be devastating, leading to serious injuries, medical expenses, and long-term rehabilitation needs, not to mention the emotional distress that comes with such an experience. Our attorneys have extensive experience in injury cases, from determining fault to negotiating with insurance companies and litigating when necessary. While you focus on recovery, we focus on building a strong case on your behalf and working to ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve.

Premises liability cases, including slip and fall incidents, are another area our injury lawyers can assist with. Property owners in California have a legal obligation to maintain safe environments for those who visit their premises. When they fail to do so, and accidents occur as a result, they can be held accountable for the injuries that follow. Whether you were injured in a retail store, a private residence, or a public space, our attorneys will work to prove that the property owner’s negligence was the cause of your injury. We carefully examine the conditions that led to the accident and consult with experts when necessary to build a compelling case for you.

Medical malpractice is a particularly complex area of personal injury law, but one where our injury lawyers have extensive experience. When healthcare providers fail to meet the expected standard of care, the consequences can be life-altering. Whether you have suffered from a misdiagnosis, a surgical error, a birth injury, or another form of medical negligence, our attorneys are prepared to hold the responsible parties accountable. We work closely with medical experts to analyze the details of your case and ensure that justice is served.

In addition to these areas, we also handle cases involving wrongful death and other catastrophic injuries including traumatic brain injuries. Each of these areas requires a deep understanding of the law and a strategic approach to litigation. Whether you have lost a loved one due to someone else's negligence or sustained life-changing injuries, we are here to advocate for you.

We understand that navigating the legal process can be daunting, especially when you are already dealing with the physical and emotional effects of an injury. That is why it is important to choose a lawyer you can trust. We strive to make the process as smooth as possible, keeping you informed and involved at every stage. You can trust that we will represent your interests and goals, seeking the best possible outcome for your case.
