We were looking for someone who could help us understand our contract with work. We were a bit unsure what to look for or what we could negotiate. I found Jonathan online and were real happy with the service and how everything turned out. He was totally in tune with our needs and was very communicative. We were able to do everything over a couple of days and for a really reasonable cost. Definitely recommend. He's our go-to employment lawyer now for sure. read more

All I can say is WOW! I found this firm on Yelp and contacted them there. I received a response IMMEDIATELY, which was amazing since it was the weekend. Jonathan called me shortly after that to speak further about my situation. I had a boss who was harassing me and I basically wanted to get him off my back. Jonathan drafted a letter within that same week and had it sent directly to my Supervisor. Let's just say he's changed his attitude overnight. Thank you Jonathan! read more

Wow! What an amazing attorney. Very attentive and honest. Willing to help even if he can't take the case.

I was skeptical about getting ahold of an attorney for fear of the costs and time it would take. I called and left a message at 11am and by 11:11am I was on the phone with Johnathan himself! He gave me great feedback and offered to help as much as he could. It seriously couldn't have been any easier! Thank you is not enough! If you need any assistance or guidance don't hesitate to call Jonathan!! read more

I reached out to Jonathan so he could review an agreement for me. He was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. I was able to get a same day turn around and thought that was awesome! I would recommend Employees First Labor Law to all. read more

I recently had the pleasure of working with Jonathan and Jessica, and I can honestly say that working with them was easy and hassle free. Jonathan listened to me, treated me with respect, and worked quickly and efficiently. He got me the result I wanted and I would recommend him to my family and friends in a heartbeat. Simply put, I cannot say enough great things about Jonathan, Jessica and their firm. I couldn't have been more grateful for their help. If you have a lawsuit or simply need an attorney for some advice, go to this firm! You won't be disappointed! read more

10/10. This law firm gets stuff done. My cousin left her job about two months ago but her boss didn't pay out all of the vacation time that she was owed. We thought that she was entitled to it but her boss was saying that it didn't go with her. We contacted Jonathan and he was able to get the vacation time + penalty payments essentially doubling the money she should have gotten. He listened to our concerns and was always available at the drop of a hat. It has been a pleasure to work with Jonathan. You can't go wrong with this firm for your labor law issues. read more

I referred my sister to Jonathan after her expressing some concerning events happening at her work to me. She called his office and she was taken care of immediately!!

Mr. LaCour, pure professionalism at its finest. Very well educated and I reached out to him and he was tuned in and very helpful to all my needs. He is in the process now helping me, I feel very confident and happy as he is always on top of my current situation. read more

If you need employment attorney, Jonathan should be your first call. I was really impressed with how fast they contacted me when I sent a message through Yelp. I had messaged a few other attorneys and am still waiting for them to return my call. It is stressful trying to find an attorney but waiting for them to call back is the worst. Jonathan and his staff were professional, kind, quick to start on my issue and extremely knowledgeable when I came to them with my employment issues. He went made sure that I understand everything and took his time to explain in detail what I needed to do. I never thought I would need an employment attorney, but am so glad that Jonathan and his staff at Employees First Labor Law were there when I needed them. read more

Mr. LaCour was an amazing asset to my case. I had an issue with overtime and breaks and we were able to negotiate a settlement within a couple of weeks with my work. Honestly this is much more money than I thought I would get, almost double what I told my girlfriend I wanted. It all comes down to dollars and cents and now I'm cashing checks! This attorney gets results. I highly recommend him. read more

Jonathan is an extremely knowledgeable resource when it comes to employment labor law. He has been able to advise me on numerous issues concerning the workplace environment. He has always been a personable figure and very easy to talk to! read more

Jonathan reviewed a contract for me. I was concerned that its non-compete clauses were too constraining. Jonathan read the contract within a couple of days and explained to me the relevant California case law. He was clear and constructive. I was able to go back to my employer with a workable solution. read more

I wrote a message to the law firm and they responded extremely quickly! I was on the phone with a representative of the firm within a couple hours and had a free consultation set for the next morning. I am already very pleased with the response and preliminary information I have been given and trust that I will be given great legal advice. Thank you so much!! read more

We've contacted Jonathan for a couple of questions that we've had over the past few months. We found him to be an effective and capable resource and a great advocate for employees. Whenever we had a question he was able to give us a thorough but understandable answer with anecdotes for his points. Highly recommend if you're looking for an expert in labor law matters. read more

I was moving from across the country to a new company and was keen on accepting one offer over another that had some issues in the agreement. Per a friend's recommendation that did the same with Mr. Lacour, I hired him to review and edit the agreement to see what I could best negotiate. He helped spot some possible pitfalls and some places they might judge and ultimately got me some benefits I frankly didn't even think about. After a few revisions with my new company we came to terms. It was nice to not have to worry about it as the move was already a big enough of a pain. Highly recommended. read more

I don't know much about law and such so I was in need of an attorney to help me deal with a hearing. In checking several sites I decided to reach out to Jonathan's ad here on Yelp. The ad promised a call back for consultation within minutes. And sure enough, after chatting on his firms website with the intake specialist, he contacted me within just a couple of minutes. After hours no less! After his consultation he made himself available to not only talk me through the process step by step, but he also made himself available to represent me at the hearing. He broke down everything for me in layman's terms and really took care and patience to make sure I understood everything. He prepped me to the point where I felt more at ease about the whole process. And best of all he really seemed to care about my well being. Not just as his client, but as a fellow person that was in need of help. His service was on point and was more than I could have hoped for. Even now with the hearing done and gone, he still takes time out of his schedule to check up on me. Jonathan continues to make himself available to answer any questions I may have. How he's helped me is something I won't forget anytime soon and I'll always be appreciative of how he stepped up for me. I highly recommend Jonathan to anyone in need of an attorney. He shoots straight and cares about his clients. And in my opinion he goes above and beyond for people that are in need of help. read more

Jonathan is very helpful and informative, I was very stressed out with the situation that I

I have known Jonathan for a long time. I hoped to never have to go to him for legal help. But unfortunately my job was bought out by another company and the new company wasn't honoring the agreement we had in place. I asked Jonathan what we could do about it. He let me know that he had a referral for me since he wasn't familiar with the type laws for the work I do. Once I contacted the other attorney Jonathan continues to follow up with me to make sure all was well. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know. read more

It's really true what everyone on here says - Jonathan and his team really care and are there for you 24/7. I feel so incredibly fortunate to have connected with them and to be working with them on my case. It's awesome to have the right team in your corner at the right time. He was incredibly responsive, responding from his vacation and on the weekend. He really cares about everyday people and their treatment in the workplace. read more

Responded back really fast, very nice and informational. Although my case wasn't strong enough for this department, I appreciated the honesty and eagerness to want to help me out read more

Last year, my cousin left her former employer and they skimmed her bonus for her final check. She almost was going to let it go and call it a loss but I recommended this lawyer and she couldn't be happier with the result. Mr. LaCour was always available and always on top of her case. In less than 24 hours he had a notice out to the company and a demand for full payment plus penalties and fees. I want to thank Mr. LaCour for all of his hard work. read more

I am currently finalazing a case in which Jonathon and his firm are representing us. The whole process has been stress free and seamless. When I first started considering a corporate paternship dissolution, I didn't know where to start. After my first consultation with Jonathon, I knew he was the exact person I wanted to represent me in my case. His scope of knowledge is beyond impressive, and he his is very thorough in his explanation of anything you don't understand. He is professional, confident, honest, gives you the attention you deserve. There was never a time where I reached out to him, that I didn't get a response in an appropriate amount of time. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone that is considering this firm!!! read more

I've known Jon for 23 years. I attended school with Jon from elementary school to high school. I can recall him always wanting to be in law, he was good at basketball and a kind friend. Recently I spoke with him about some professional issues when dealing with a customer. He was open and seemed to drop everything for me, he was at the gym. I don't know what that says about someone, to you, but it says that he cares to me. That's what matters. I appreciate that wisdom, understanding we all have to seek help at times. read more

Jon has exceptional skills in making the whole process as understandable and smooth as possible. His ability to thoroughly explain details with regards to contracts is amazing! He really simplified the complex wording into terms that were understandable so that everything could be negotiated and my business partner and I could make the best decision possible. We were able to finalize our contract with terms that were mutually beneficial and both parties were satisfied. I look forward to working with Jon in the future and highly recommend his services.

I highly recommend their services. I received follow up on my online request within the same day, and very prompt customer service throughout. Attorney Jonathan LaCour set up an appointment to review my severance package and assess my experience with the company I'm leaving within 1 week over a convenient phone consult. While the call was only scheduled to last 45 minutes, Jonathan did not hang up until he was sure all my questions had been answered. He explained the details of the agreement in layman's terms and coached me on how to negotiate a better package. He was also very honest - he did not try to steer me into doing anything that would point toward the firm getting more money out of me. Instead, he gave me an affordable, honest, helpful, and objective assessment. read more

Mr. LaCour cares! If you're looking for an employment lawyer, look no further. This is the place you MUST choose. I think a lot of employees don't seek out legal counsel because they are afraid of how difficult the process could be but Employees First Labor Law makes the whole process easy and clear. He's RESPONSIVE and KNOWS HIS STUFF. You see, I went searching for counsel with not a lot of certainty whether or not anywhere would take an interest because my case wasn't exactly the big kind but even then, they treated me as though my case was just as important as any other case. I'm very lucky I came across this firm before anywhere else. So for those of you who need counsel regarding matters of employment and labor law, I suggest turning to the team at Employees First! read more

Jonathan LaCour is excellent and very trustworthy as a legal resource. He is very informed about pending and existing laws, which gives him an advantage when advising during cases. He has been very prompt and accommodating when scheduling appointments. He provides services for negotiating severance pay and arbitration. His firm prosecutes cases in court and does arbitration. The value of this firm is that Jonathan goes the extra mile to help the client and is willing to talk personally with clients. read more

I recently had questions and they contacted me in the hour I asked for a consultation. Excellent and fast customer service! They are very straight forward and you won't lose your time. I highly recommend their service! read more

I had an excellent experience with Jonathan. I came to him seeking his legal expertise. His knowledge of California labor law paired with helpfulness -plus his timely responses- make him the go-to lawyer for labor/work issues. His professional opinion really helped clarify my situation in a way that I could not have foreseen without him. Jonathan went beyond all my expectations and I will go to him in the future with any labor issues that may come to pass. read more

Jonathan was pleasant, knowledgeable, and offered kind direction. Very pleased.

I was wary at contacting at lawyer's office. I googled several, but Employees First Labor Law really stood out. I live on reviews, and won't commit to something (even a restaurant) without the proper amount of reviews! Employee's First has incredible customer service. They have a 24/7 online chat, and a 24 hour turnaround for items discussed in the chat. Jonathan and Jessica were incredible at communicating! It really felt like I was more than just another person with a legal issue. They took my matter seriously and helped me get a result that was better than I could have expected! Thank you so much! read more

I had been to hell and back with my former employer and Employees First was able to fight for me and win the money I was owed, and then some. I was unexpectedly let go by my former boss and was not paid fairly for the hours I had worked. Because I have a family to support, I was desperate to find someone who could help me do something about it. I worked with Jonathan and from the very beginning he was sympathetic to my situation and I truly felt like he cared. On a couple occasions, I called him outside office hours and he still got back to me quickly. In a matter of a few months I received the money I was owed and even a little more !!!! My experience with Employees First was such a positive one that I would recommend them to everybody. They are true professionals and are diligent in fixing the problem. Would give more stars if I could ! read more

For a year I worked at a restaurant, unaware that they were not paying me for breaks. When I found out, I searched Yelp for workplace attorneys that handle these types of situations. The first two calls I made were answered by the front desk and forwarded to the managing attorney's voicemail. Then I called Employees First Labor Law and spoke directly with Jonathan. Let me tell you, he was a breath of fresh air! From the initial consultation through the settlement (and yes, he was able to win all the money I was owed), he was extremely responsive, attentive and explained things clearly. I never felt like I was bothering him with my endless questions and I felt like I could call him at any time and he'd be there for me. My case was not a big one but he made me feel like I was his only client. 10 stars! read more

I met Jonathan several years ago through a mutual acquaintance and stayed in touch because you never know when you might need a good attorney in your corner. Turns out through casual conversation about a previous employer situation I was discussing with him that I actually had a potential cause for action. After a series of consultations both in person and via emai/text, he was able to layout in a very thorough, understandable, and realistic manner the case I had against one of my former employers. He was very clear in setting my expectations and covered everything that would be necessary to move forward as well as the potential different outcomes. Throughout the process, any time I had a question or concern, I felt like I could always reach out and get him quickly. His availability is second to none nor is his integrity. I never once felt he was getting involved because he was chasing dollars but instead that he sincerely felt there was a clear case of misdoing on the part of my employer. In dealing with him over many months, I felt he was an attorney that really wanted to see justice served and that he sincerely cared about the people he was working with. After getting the details about my situation and confirming we had a legitimate case, I retained him and he proceeded to pursue my former employer. After what seemed like a very short 4 months he was able to reach a settlement outside of court with a 6 figure settlement that was much larger than we initially discussed. Saying I am pleased with Jonathan's service is a borderline disservice to him. When I look back at how this all transpired and how it ended, I am nothing short of amazed. If you have even an inkling that you might have been wronged by your employer, you must give him a call. You can thank me later! read more

Great experience! Highly recommend. I was having some issues at my work with overtime. I decided to reach out and consulted with Jonathan and his law firm. I was feeling overwhelmed and extremely stressed. Wow! I am so pleased that I called Mr. LaCour. He was unbelievably attentive and responsive at all times. I felt valued and comfortable asking even questions that I thought might be stupid. He always made me feel important. Consulting with him was such a great decision and I got more out of it than I could have ever hoped. I highly recommend Jonathan and his law firm for any workplace issues. He really knew his stuff. He really is such a great resource for anything related to labor laws or employment issues. I will for sure consult with him in the future if I have any issues come up. Thank you, Mr.LaCour for making an overwhelming problem feel manageable. This ended up being a smooth process for me and I appreciate everyone at Employees First Labor Law for all their hard work and kindness. Great to have someone like this on my team :) read more

Jonathan LaCour is the epitome of professionalism. He is experienced, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He provided helpful information throughout the entire case and was a great communicator. He was always willing to take my call, respond to my email, and answer any questions I had, helping me to understand what can sometimes be a complicated process. I highly recommend Jonathan for the best legal representation. He is one of the best in the business, if not the best. read more

Leaving a review for Jon Lacour. I reached out to Jon about handling a Power of Attorney procedure for my elderly parents. Not only did he prepare the required documents for me, he provided easy to follow instructions taking out all the guess work. What I like about Jon is his passion about helping his clients, his professionalism, and effortless communication. Why go with somebody else? You won't be disappointed. Jon will fight for you! Give his office a call today. read more
