FAQ

What is consumer protection law, and how does it apply to me?

Consumer protection law encompasses regulations designed to protect individuals from deceptive, unfair, or fraudulent business practices. These laws cover areas such as false advertising, data privacy violations, credit reporting errors, and unfair contractual practices. At Olivier & Schreiber PC, we help consumers understand their rights and pursue legal action when companies violate these protections.

What should I do if I believe a company has misused my personal information?

If you suspect data privacy violations, document all evidence of the misuse, including screenshots, emails, and any notices received. Review the company’s privacy policy and terms of service to understand what permissions were granted. File complaints with appropriate regulatory agencies, such as the California Privacy Protection Agency or Federal Trade Commission, and contact our firm for a comprehensive evaluation of your situation.

How does your firm assist clients with discrimination-related cases?

Olivier & Schreiber PC handles all forms of workplace discrimination, including cases based on race, gender, age, disability, pregnancy, religion, and other protected characteristics. We begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your situation to identify applicable legal strategies. Our team works diligently to collect evidence, build compelling cases, and hold employers accountable for discriminatory practices.

What steps should I take if I have been wrongfully terminated?

If you believe you have been wrongfully terminated, take immediate action to protect your rights. Document key details of your termination, including communications, policies, and evidence. Collect any witness contacts, review contracts carefully, and file for unemployment if eligible. Contact our firm quickly, as wrongful termination claims have time limits.

How can I document workplace harassment effectively?

Keep a written record of each incident, including details such as dates, times, locations, witnesses present, and exact words or actions involved. Save all relevant communications, such as emails, text messages, or written notes. Report incidents to your supervisor, human resources department, or through your company’s complaint process, and keep copies of these reports. Our attorneys can guide you on additional documentation strategies specific to your situation.

What legal protections are available for whistleblowers in California?

California provides robust whistleblower protections through various statutes, including the California Whistleblower Protection Act in Labor Code Section 1102.5 and industry-specific protections. These laws are designed to protect employees who report violations of law, refuse to participate in illegal activities, or cooperate with government investigations.

How does the firm approach mediation and alternative dispute resolution?

We believe in exploring all avenues for achieving fair resolution of your case, including mediation and alternative dispute resolution when appropriate. Our team includes skilled negotiators who work to achieve favorable settlements that save you time and reduce the stress of litigation.

What should I bring to my initial consultation?

Bring any documents related to your case, including employment contracts, termination letters, pay stubs, company policies, correspondence with your employer or the company involved, and any photographs or evidence relevant to your situation. However, do not let the absence of documents prevent you from scheduling a consultation; we can guide you on gathering additional evidence and will work with whatever information you have available.

How do you communicate with clients throughout the legal process?

Communication is integral to our approach. We prioritize keeping you informed at every stage of your case through regular updates via phone, email, and in-person meetings as needed.

What is the typical timeline for resolving a case?

Case timelines vary significantly depending on the complexity of the involved legal issues, the willingness of opposing parties to negotiate, and whether the matter settles or proceeds to trial. Simple cases may be able to resolve in a few months, while complex litigation or class actions can take several years.

We recognize that these questions only begin to touch on the intricate legal matters that are employment law, consumer protection, and civil rights. If you have further questions for us or would like to schedule a consultation, please contact our team.
