We are dedicated to representing California employees who have experienced unlawful treatment in the workplace. At Manukyan Law Firm, our Glendale employment lawyers assist clients dealing with sexual harassment, discrimination, wrongful termination, wage disputes, employer retaliation, and other employment disputes. Although California law provides substantial protections for workers, employees may still face situations in which their rights are disregarded or their dependence on their jobs creates significant pressure. Our role is to help clients determine whether workplace conduct has crossed the boundary between common employment difficulties and unlawful behavior. We draw upon federal and state employment laws to protect the interests of the employees we represent, and we have recovered millions for our clients.
We can also help employees evaluate the requirements for pursuing an employment law claim. Depending on the circumstances, available remedies may include lost earnings, out-of-pocket expenses, hiring or reinstatement, promotion, reasonable accommodations, damages for emotional distress, punitive damages, and attorneys fees and court costs. California employees may be protected by laws such as the ADEA, ADA, EPA, FLSA, FMLA, GINA, PDA, Rehabilitation Act, SOX, Title VII, and USERRA, as well as California protections including FEHA, CFRA, the Labor Code, minimum wage requirements, and PDL. We encourage employees to document workplace incidents, preserve communications and reports, and maintain records of unlawful activity. If you believe your rights have been violated, our Glendale employment attorneys can help you understand your legal options.

I was fired from my job in 2024 because I had reported another employee for breaking the "rules". I have yet to find another job because they ruined my notoriety as an individual. Prior to my termination at the Boys & Girls Club, working with kids was my specialty. Thanks to Edgar and his team I received a settlement well worth my retaliation.
I highly recommend working with Manukayan Law Firm!

Edgar was exceptional, an absolute professional who knows exactly what hes doing and delivers results.
Ill be honest. I was anxious, asked a lot of questions, and at times felt overwhelmed and scared. Not once did Edgar make me feel like a burden. Instead, he showed patience, took the time to walk me through every step, and made sure I fully understood what was happening.
What truly sets Edgar apart is how much he genuinely cares. When I was at my most uncertain, he didnt just do his job, he showed up for me like family. He fought relentlessly on my behalf and never lost focus on getting the best outcome possible.
I firmly believe most attorneys wouldnt have shown the same level of commitment, patience, or care. Edgar didnt just represent me, he went to battle for me.
If you want someone who is skilled, responsive, and truly invested in you, Edgar is the attorney you want in your corner.

Please look no further than Manukyan Law Firm. Edgar was so easy to work with, his team is very communicative, and the best part is they got my settlement during the first mediation. I had another attorney working on my case for six months and then they dropped my case for no valid reason.
I had lost hope, but when I called Edgar he was able to pick up the pieces and put them back together and I ended up with more than I was expecting.
Thank you so much, Manukyan Law Firm!

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!

I had a great experience working with Manukyan From the very beginning, he was responsive, professional, easy to talk to and made me feel confident about my case. He kept me updated every step of the way and always took the time to explain everything clearly. I was especially impressed with how quickly he handled things nothing ever felt delayed or overlooked. He was also very easy to reach, which made a stressful situation a little more manageable. If youre dealing with wrongful termination or an employment issue, I highly recommend him. He truly knows what hes doing.

After a negative experience with another law firm, which left me disillusioned and uncertain about the legal process, encountering Mr. Edgar Manukyan was a refreshing change. His professionalism and guidance throughout the entire process were exemplary. Despite the inherent stress and anxiety associated with legal cases, Mr. Manukyan's expertise and support provided reassurance and ultimately led to the best possible outcome. The consistently positive reviews about his services are a testament to his success. Thanks to his efforts, I received maximum compensation for the workplace injustice I endured. I am deeply grateful to Mr. Manukyan; his dedication has profoundly impacted not just me, but my entire family. Thank you for your hard work and unwavering commitment.

My utmost respect and deepest gratitude for Edgar Manukyan and his law firm for the excellent legal representation!! Laws and legislations can be very confusing, however Edgar offered a clear and pragmatic guidance that kept me on course both legally and emotionally, and maximized the potential of my employment situation. Mr Manukyan meticulously prepared my wrongful termination case and zealously advocated on my behalf. He demonstrated genuine concern and empathy throughout the overwhelming legal process. Edgar Manukyan is a very skilled negotiator!! His strong commitment, focused expertise and in-depth knowledge of employment law secured the most favorable outcome for my legal matter. Manukyan Law firm also employs a wonderful team of young professionals. They were always very responsive and generous with their time, and help. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Edgar, for tirelessly working to protect my interests with a passion fueled by justice!!!

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!

Edgar is the lawyer you need!!!
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!!!
