  • Punitive damages (in extreme cases)

  • Attorney’s fees and legal costs

How do I prove I was retaliated against for whistleblowing?

To prove whistleblower retaliation, you must show:

  • You engaged in a protected activity (e.g., reporting illegal conduct)

  • You suffered an adverse employment action

Miles and Faheem, advised and guided me into reaching out to my prior employer about being wrongfully terminated. I am thankful to them for helping me navigate this tough time.

Cristina was very attentive and always made sure she got back to me within reasonable time with accurate answers !! I really appreciate her as well as Lotte for getting everything taken care of for me and my son!
WHO HURT YOU?? I love you 💕 Razavi Law! 🙌🏻 If you’re in an accident, call them first. I was in an accident and called my insurance company (a very well known company) and was perplexed and questioning what they wanted to do, I got frustrated and found Razavi Law. They are the best; kind, compassionate and they ‘communicate’ well. I’ve referred many people to them. I like seeing Ali on my grocery cart. 😊Even if they didn’t remember my birthday, (they always do) I’d write this review. Call Razavi, you’ll be so happy you did, you don’t have to worry about a thing; they’ve got you.
Razavi Law Group is outstanding. I can say so with confidence because of how well my case was handled, how my assigned lawyer (Veronica Buckels), case manager (Cristina Espinoza) and the lien negotiator (Abril Zamora) interacted with me and how satisfied I was with the resolution of my case. Love them all but a BIG shout out to Abril the lien negotiator for reducing those bills. Lol.Background Information: I had already signed a contract with a different law firm but I was very unhappy with how things were progressing or should I say not progressing. Additionally, that lawyer was collecting his 33.33% + fees but wanted me to do all the research and information/record gathering. Moreover, he kept losing the bill for the ambulance services and never followed up on it like he promised and I received a delinquent notification.I was very frustrated and didn't know what to do. A friend suggested I change lawyers so I checked Google and Yelp for law firm recommendations. Yes, I did, don't judge me. Lol. Razavi Law Group had positive reviews on both platforms. Additionally, one of my associates recommended them. I also verified via the State Bar of California and Better Business Bureau websites.I met with Razavi Law Group and explained my situation. They agreed to take my case even though it meant they would have to split the fees with that other useless law firm I had signed with.I'm so glad I switched to Razavi Law Group. What a difference! They took care of everything. I didn't have to do anything on my end except to sign the documents. They kept me updated, explained things clearly and answered all my questions.I'm thankful for Razavi Law Group and I definitely 100% 💯 recommend them.

Whenever I had questions or didn’t understand something, they were patient with me and took the time to explain everything. I never felt like I was being left in the dark or had to constantly reach out just to know what was going on.I’m extremely grateful for all the time, effort, and work they put into my case and for helping me get through such a difficult chapter of my life. It meant a lot knowing I had people in my corner who were looking out for me and making sure everything was handled properly.Thank you again to Joe, Gabe, Christina, and everyone else who helped with my case behind the scenes.

Sonya was amazing to work with after my car accident. She fought to get my medical bills and legal fees reduced, which meant I was able to keep more money from my settlement.

I liked working with James. He is really sweet, kind, and patient. After my accident, I was having a panic attack, and he took the time to reassure me and walk me through what I needed to do. He kept me updated and is always willing to explain and answer any questions. I felt very comfortable working with him.Ali is also very responsive. He would reply to my texts right away, even after hours. They were both very accommodating and wonderful to work with.
