Ventura Labor Attorney
If you worked in Ventura County, where will your case be decided? One possibility is the Ventura Courthouse on Victoria Avenue. Another common scenario is binding arbitration, as many large employers require disputes to be settled outside of court. However, California law does not mandate arbitration for sexual harassment cases or for those in the transportation industry. It is critical to have an attorney who fights for arbitration to be held near witnesses. While some providers push for Los Angeles venues, the Employment Lawyers Group offers our Oxnard Marina location for convenience. Some cases may also fall under Federal jurisdiction, requiring hearings in downtown Los Angeles.
The Ventura County Superior Court entrance area.
The Ventura County Courthouse is conveniently located near our Oxnard office. When traveling north on the 101 Freeway, instead of turning right on Victoria for the courthouse, you turn left toward the Oxnard waterfront to reach us. Following the recession, the main Ventura Courthouse handles all civil cases, including employment lawsuits. Previously, Simi Valley handled local filings, but moving these to the main courthouse has historically been a positive shift for employee win rates.

Representing employees is a craft. Think of an unethical employer as a pin we are aiming to strike out; we aim to knock down all the pins representing managers or supervisors who did you wrong. You need an attorney with decades of experience, not a novice. Karl Gerber has represented employees exclusively since 1993, bringing deep experience to Ventura County litigation.
