After a traumatic and unexpected termination, I sought a few lawyers and explained my case and distress. These lawyers did not make me feel that I had a good case and I felt like they were not interested in advocating for me. When I contacted Frank pray, he immediately made me feel like he was on my team and he would strongly advocate for me which he did for the next 12 months! He never lost faith and he and his associated continually encouraged and assured me that all would be well. The most important thing I got from them was that they cared about me as a person.

Frank, I appreciate you taking a chance on my case and pulling it off as beautifully as you did. You have a big heart and you are right where you are supposed to be. Greg was quite instrumental in gathering pertinent information and I was thankful that you were both on my team. Feeling vindicated is one of life’s greatest gifts. With your help, I was able to achieve that. My heart is full and I am grateful.

I have had a wonderful experience with the Law Offices of Frank Pray. They were able to work with me and my previous employer to reach a mutual agreement in a very timely manner. I would refer anyone. Thank you Greg for all of your hard work!

An unexpected voluntary early retirement offer from my employer put me in a state of shock and anguish. I quickly recognized the offer was a "take it or leave it" proposition and I needed help to deal with apparent pending adverse actions. Highly recommended to me by a large international law firm for his knowledge of employment law, professionalism and competence, I met Frank Pray in his Newport Beach office. He immediately identified how he could protect my employee rights and explained in detail possible outcomes of the strategies he would utilize. He discussed all expected costs and fees and made his first contact with my employer the same day. He maintained continual contact with me through routine phone calls and emails. The end result was an amiable severance settlement appreciably better than the original offer.

After working long hours to manage a large project and after receiving an exemplary performance review, my employment was unexpectedly terminated for specious reasoning. The same day I was notified of my termination, I had informed my employer that I would need to take time off work again for a recurring health problem. My employer offered a severance agreement, which I sought an attorneys advice regarding. After a brief telephone call with Attorney Pray, we met at his office to discuss the severance agreement, the merits (and pitfalls) of the circumstances surrounding my termination and to establish a game plan moving forward.

Attorney Pray's honesty, knowledge and thoroughness was apparent from the very outset, traits that would serve my case well as it progressed. From the production of an initial demand letter, through negotiations between Attorney Pray and my now former employer's counsel and ultimately to satisfactory mediation, Attorney Pray was an advocate on my behalf of the highest order. I would recommend Attorney Pray's services to any employee looking to enforce their rights.

Frank Pray is a highly-professional, employee rights attorney and offers his clients a long and successful track record of positive outcomes, for those who may have encountered wrongful termination or other employee issues. Mr. Pray works in strong partnership with his clients and keeps them well-informed of the progress of their case and has a keen understanding of employment law.

I would recommend his services to anyone facing employee rights issues.

Thank you, Frank, for having my best interests in mind throughout our working relationship and for your great support.

I was wrongfully terminated by a well known OC firm recently, and just before the termination I had decided to give Frank a call for assessment and advice. From the moment he spoke to me, Frank immediately gave me clarification as to what my rights are and immediate steps to protect myself.

Since then Frank has been working tirelessly on the case for a better part of a year. I've recently received settlement check and it was done in a very timely manner thanks to you, Frank!

I would highly recommend ANYONE who is on the verge of being fired and suspect wrong doing on the employer's behalf to call Frank for an immediate assessment. Frank is highly experienced and can build a case from scratch. He is an extremely intelligent individual and he has been very straight forward and honest with me. Most importantly, he kept my interest at heart throughout the process, and looked after my interest at step of the way!

Thanks Frank! Keep up the amazing work, you represent well!

The Employment Law Office of Frank Pray

I have focused my employment law practice exclusively on "Employee Rights"  for over 15 years.  I have been in the practice of law for over 33 years as an active litigator.  I am currently the 2011 Chair of the Labor & Employment Law Section of the Orange County Bar Association, with over 400 members.  In this capacity I am responsible for providing the Section with timely employment law topics presented by recognized experts. 

 

Most of my employment law practice focuses on representing fired, transferred, demoted, or laid off employees who were selected for termination of employment because of age, race, sex, national origin, religion, use of medical leave, disability, or sundry like categories, or because these complained to management about illegal pay practices, harassment, discrimination, securities fraud, unsafe work practices, or other illegal business practices.

A "case" is tested by whether the elements of proof are likely present to persuade a court that the employer's conduct permits you to recover damages.

ARTICLE OF THE WEEK:

HAPPY 2012:  NOW GET COMPLIANT--FOR EMPLOYEES: IT'S NEW YEAR'S EVE, BUT FOR EMPLOYERS, IT LOOKS MORE LIKE NEW YEAR'S "GRIEVE."  


Jerry is not about to use Arnold's veto pen to restrict protections of employees.  2012 presents a winning hand dealt from the combined deck of a Democratic Governor and California legislature.  My friend and colleague, Brian McDonald, an Orange County Business Attorney providing guidance to California businesses, compiled a list of the recent legislation that you can find posted for downloading from the link provided below.

 

The summary of the summary, for those of you needing to do last minute Christmas shopping, or to stand in line to return those cute little yellow ducky slippers:

 

1.  Use of genetic information to discriminate is now prohibited by the Unruh Civil Rights Act;

 

2.  "Interference" with medical leave and pregnancy leave rights is now prohibited.
