About this Organization:
The Cyberlaw Clinic provides legal representation to private litigants and other clients in matters involving the public interest and technological development. The Cyberlaw Clinic gives students an opportunity to participate in supervised litigation, policy and legislative advocacy in matters involving technology and the public interest. Through the Clinic, students will develop and hone skills in interviewing and counseling, fact investigation, issue identification, case theory, development, planning and organization, discovery and motions practice, ethics, negotiation and oral advocacy. Bar Certified law students work directly with clients, file legal motions and briefs and argue matters in court. The Environmental Law Clinic at Stanford offers students an opportunity to provide legal assistance to nonprofit organizations on a variety of environmental issues, focusing primarily on natural resource conservation. The clinic's clients include large national environmental organizations such as The Ocean Conservancy, the Sierra Club, and National Parks Conservation Association), as well as a variety of regional and local grassroots groups (such as the Center for Biological Diversity, WaterKeepers Northern California, Environmental Protection Information Center, and Turtle Island Restoration Network). The Immigrants' Rights Clinic (IRC) at Stanford Law School is committed to protecting the human rights of all non-citizens, regardless of immigration status. Professor Jayashri Srikantiah and Teaching Fellow Kathleen Kim supervise students on direct services and legal advocacy projects. Students in the clinic represent individual immigrants in a variety of settings. For example, students have worked on: seeking humanitarian relief from deportation on behalf of non-citizens with criminal convictions, obtaining asylum protection for non-citizens fleeing persecution, and assisting immigrant survivors of domestic violence in gaining lawful status in the United States.

SALARIED WORKERS STILL GET OVERTIME
In California, there are certain exemptions that allow employers to deny paying employees overtime. Whether or not an employee meets those exemptions is typically based on their job duties and responsibilities. There are many situations where employers misclassify employees as exempt from overtime based solely on their job title. For example, the employer will give the employee a fancy job title that includes the word Manager or Supervisor, when in fact, the employee is performing manual or clerical labor according to the employers strict guidelines and protocols. In other words, the employee is exercising independent discretion less than 50% of the time. This is just one factor that plays into whether or not you are properly classified as exempt from overtime.

We have the experience and resources to help you, just as we have helped these and other California Employees who have been misclassified:

- Laboratory Employees
- Computer IT/IS Professionals
- Computer Technicians/Engineers/Programmers
- Banking Employees
- Underwriters
- Network Administrators
- Commissioned Employees
- Sales Representatives
- Loss Prevention Employees
- Account Managers/Supervisors
- Managers and Assistant Managers
- Freight Employees
- Securities Brokers
- Commissioned Sales Employees
California employment lawyer
If you are not getting overtime wages and breaks based on an exemption, feel free to contact our office at 877-852-3912 to further discuss whether your employer properly classified you as exempt from overtime. Our firm is a leader in this field of law. We will provide you with a free, confidential consultation.

ARE YOU REALLY AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR OR BEING CHEATED OUT OF BENEFITS?
Independent contractors generally receive less benefits and protections as well as incur more expenses than employees. If you are classified as an independent contractor, you may be getting cheated out of compensation and other protections. In California, this issue is taken very seriously!

There are many factors that are reflected upon in determining whether or not workers are independent contractors or employees. There are usually two threshold requirements for being an independent contractor. If either of the following are true, you are likely an employee and not an independent contractor: (1) You can quit or be terminated at any time without being legally obligated for failure to complete the job; or (2) The person you are working for assigns, reviews, and supervises your work.

Harjot Walia

Criminal Law, DUI / DWI, Domestic Violence, Immigration Law, Injury Law

Hayward, CA 94545

http://maps.google.com/staticmap?markers=37.6063621,-122.1178261,midbluea&key=ABQIAAAAFpA1P8zpO7au7UFAzPonkhRBlc71YCntwkVNTPT_jzOyb7aClxQCMq3y9xKrPPBrBh5f46EVdNCO8w

Jurisdictions: California, New York

Founder of The Walia Law Firm, Harjot "Ginny" Walia has handled numerous cases throughout the criminal courts of the greater San Francisco Bay Area. San Francisco criminal defense attorney, Harjot "Ginny" Walia, has achieved a very high level of success in a relatively short period of time. The firm has reached great heights due to Ms. Walia’s extensive jury trial record, brilliant mind, competitive attitude and a willingness to fight for her clients. She has handled hundreds of criminal cases as a San Francisco Public Defender and in private practice. Federal criminal defense attorney, Ginny Walia has commented as an expert legal analyst and a forensics expert in well publicized, high profile criminal cases on national television channels. Specifically, Ginny Walia was asked for her expert legal advice on the DNA evidence that was a part of the Scott Peterson case.

Ms. Walia’s substantial media experience is useful to protect clients in potentially high-profile cases. She handles numerous serious felony cases, and it is very hard to predict when a case will gather media attention. When one is accused of a serious crime, one should be prepared for the possibility of media attention. By having a rare San Francisco criminal defense attorney with substantial media experience her clients are always aware of media exposure pitfalls before they damage a case. Ms. Walia was also featured as a top story in the leading Bay Area legal newspaper, "The Recorder". "The Recorder" recognized Ms. Walia as a young and successful criminal defense attorney who has made her way to the top. Ms. Walia was also featured in "The New York Law Journal."

Elder trial gurus describe Ms. Walia as a prodigy, due to her command of the Evidence Code, trial objections, and strategy. She is unafraid to take on entire police departments and top officials at district attorneys' offices. Her courage, command of the law and compassionate demeanor earn her victories in her jury trial performances. Her tenacity against government corruption has resulted in potentially high-profile criminal charges against her clients being dismissed.

In her federal practice, she has earned the respect of federal judges for presenting the law "like an appellate attorney."

Education: McGeorge School of Law - University of the Pacific, University of California - Hastings College of the Law

Jurisdictions: California - Admitted in 1987 (25 years)

My law practice focuses on representing injury and death victims and their families.

Many of my cases have involved personal injury, car accidents, accidental death, wrongful death, truck accidents, big-rig accidents, motorcycle accidents, products liability, defective products, dog bites, nursing home injuries, pedestrian accidents, bicycle accidents, and dangerous property. I have been highly successful in favorably resolving my clients' cases and obtaining monetary compensation for my clients for over 22 years.

My clients have suffered catastrophic injuries, death of a family member, serious injuries requiring hospitalization or surgery and many other types of injuries including coma, brain injuries, quadriplegia, triplegia, loss of limb, spinal injuries such as spinal fractures, disc bulges, protrusions and herniations requiring spinal surgery or pain management, fractures, hip/leg/knee/ankle/foot injuries, arm/shoulder/elbow/hand injuries, chest injuries, abdominal injuries, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy) internal organ injuries, torn ligaments or tendons and injuries that involved painful sprains or strains.

I know that these types of injuries can and do cause great hardship, such as wage loss, loss of job or career and future earnings losses, as well as how they can harmfully impact the victim's spouse and family. I persevere in obtaining deserving compensation for those losses, as well as for medical bills, pain and suffering, loss of consortium, loss of love, society, affection, and compensation for vocational rehabilitation.

I will accept cases throughout California.

Some cities served include:
Alameda, Antioch, Belmont, Brentwood, Castro Valley, Concord, Daly City, Davis, Dixon, El Cerrito, Emeryville, Fairfield, Fremont, Hercules, Livermore, Lafayette, Monterey, Moraga, Palo Alto, Pittsburgh, Martinez, Menlo Park, Modesto, Newark, Oakland, Oakley, Orinda, Pleasant Hill, Pleasanton, Richmond, Redwood City, Rodeo, Sacramento, Santa Clara, Stockton, Sunnyvale, San Bruno, San Carlos, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, San Mateo, San Leandro, San Lorenzo, San Pablo, Suisun, Tracy, Ukiah, Walnut Creek and Vacaville, among many others.

Some counties served include:
Alameda, Contra Costa, Fresno, Kings, Los Angeles, Marin, Mendocino, Modesto, Monterey, Napa, Orange, Riverside, Sacramento, San Francisco, San Mateo, San Jose, San Diego San Joaquin, Santa Clara, Santa Barbara, Sonoma, Stanislaus, and Yolo, among others.

I began my own law firm in 1989, shortly after the death of my mentor and employer, Robert E. Cartwright Sr., then one of the most prominent plaintiff's attorneys in the U.S.
