Mercer Legal Group is an employment law and workplace injury firm in Woodland Hills, California. Simon Moshkovich founded the firm after years of watching employees get pushed around by companies with bigger legal budgets — and deciding to do something about it.
We represent workers across Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Orange counties. Most of our clients come to us after being fired for speaking up, harassed at work, or denied wages they earned. We also handle workplace injury cases where employers or insurers refuse to do the right thing.
Why We Write What We Write
The blog exists because we kept getting the same questions — from clients, from people calling for the first time, from friends and family. “Can my boss really do that?” “Is this even legal?” “What am I supposed to do now?”
So we started writing answers. Not marketing copy — actual explanations of how California employment law works, what your options are, and when it makes sense to talk to a lawyer.
How We Pick Topics
Most of our articles come from real conversations:
- Questions clients ask during consultations
- New laws or court decisions that change how something works (California updates employment law constantly)
- Situations we see coming up more often — like AI screening in hiring, pay transparency issues, or remote work disputes
- Topics where the existing information online is outdated or just wrong
Who Writes and Reviews This Stuff
Our attorneys and legal team write the content. Here is how it typically works:
- Someone on the team drafts an article based on a real question or legal development. We pull from California statutes, EEOC guidance, CRD (formerly DFEH) resources, and our own case experience.
- A licensed attorney reviews it before we publish. If an article makes a legal claim, there is a citation or a clear explanation of where it comes from.
- When laws change — and in California employment law, they change a lot — we go back and update older articles. You will see a “Last updated” note on those.
The Fine Print
Reading our blog does not make you our client. The articles are general information, not legal advice tailored to your situation. Employment cases are fact-specific — what applies to one person may not apply to another.
If something you read here sounds like your situation, reach out for a free consultation. We will tell you straight whether we think you have a case.
And the standard disclaimer: past case results do not guarantee what will happen in yours. Every case is different.
How We Talk About What We Do
We do not call ourselves the “best” or “#1” employment lawyers in California. We have not seen a ranking system we trust enough to cite. What we can tell you is that we have handled hundreds of employment cases, we know California labor law inside and out, and we fight hard for our clients.
When we mention case results or settlements, those are real numbers from real cases. But they come with the caveat that your case will have its own facts and its own outcome.
We cite specific statutes — Government Code section 12940, Labor Code section 1102.5, and so on — because vague legal claims help no one.
Outside Links
We link to government agencies (EEOC, California Civil Rights Department, DIR), court websites, and legal databases when they are useful. Those sites are not ours, and we cannot control what they do with their content.
About AI Tools
We do not publish AI-written legal content. Period. AI tools occasionally help with research organization or initial content structuring, but everything that goes on this site gets rewritten, fact-checked, and reviewed by our legal team. The legal analysis, the advice, the voice — that is us.
Found a Mistake?
Laws change. We try to keep everything current, but if you spot an outdated citation or something that does not look right, email us at [email protected]. We will fix it.
