At Manukyan Law Firm, we represent employees throughout California who are facing employment disputes and workplace mistreatment. California has some of the strongest employment protections in the country, yet wage theft, discrimination, sexual harassment, wrongful termination, wage disputes, and employer retaliation continue to affect workers. Our Glendale employment attorneys understand both federal and California employment law and work to protect employees whose rights have been violated. We believe every employee deserves respect and every voice deserves to be heard. When an employer takes advantage of an employee, we are prepared to review the circumstances and provide honest feedback about the legal options available.
Our firm handles cases involving unlawful workplace behavior and understands that employment pressure can take many forms, from being expected to work excessive hours to feeling financially dependent on a job. We help employees understand where ordinary workplace difficulties cross the line into unlawful treatment. Potential remedies may include past and future lost earnings, out-of-pocket expenses, hiring or reinstatement, promotion, reasonable accommodations, emotional distress damages, punitive damages, and attorneys fees and court costs. We also help clients understand protections under federal and California laws, including Title VII, the ADA, FLSA, FMLA, ADEA, FEHA, CFRA, and the California Labor Code. If you believe your rights have been violated, contact our Glendale employment law firm to discuss your situation and 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 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.

Roy Manukyan Social Security Disability Lawyer
This firm provides excellent representation on a contingency basis. After being refused SSDI insurance from the federal government, my boyfriend and I sought their assistance.
After a second appeal was rejected, which was expected, Roy saw the case through to the administrative judge hearing, including coaching my boyfriend on what would be expected at the hearing and what responses were ideal.
Happily, my boyfriend was finally approved for the disability insurance he needed. We could not have done it without the help of this excellent firm. Highly recommended.

Manukyan Law Firm went to bat for me when NO ONE else would. I had an employment related case and didn't know where to turn or what legal route to take. When shopping around, most firms treated me like a number and it was obvious very early on that they were seeking out "clear cut" cases where they would make a hefty buck off of distressed clients stuck in a corner. There was no real compassion and I felt defeated. I was VERY close to giving up---but thankfully I found Edgar and his dedicated team.
Upon my initial consultation, I immediately felt heard. This was something I hadn't felt in a LONG time--especially with my previous employer. Edgar called me in and broke down every detail and laid out realistic expectations regarding my case. He opened my eyes to the incredible amount of rights I had as a California Employee. He made me understand that it's not okay to be discriminated against by ANY employer under ANY circumstance-especially when you belong to a protected class (age, disability, gender etc...).
Fast forward a year and some change... my case was settled! Edgar fought relentlessly and aggressively litigated my case to a very fruitful settlement. His communication was prompt throughout. His overall demeanor was professional yet sometimes playful when the occasion called for it--a very organic balance! This experience was exemplary from start to finish--I recommend Edgar and team to anyone who is looking for an actual litigator--not just a firm that sits on their butts and sends some emails and expects a settlement.

I had a major issue that couldnt be resolved by many and after meeting with multiple different attorneys, I finally found the right one. Mr. Manukyan was nothing but professional, knowledgeable and straight to the point. He clearly explained the process and how itll be and it indeed went the way we anticipated. No surprises and great communication. Very happy I ended up using him as my attorney.

It is always a bit nerve-racking and anxiety inducing when you find yourself in a situation where you need to hire an attorney. Edgar Manukyan walked me through the complex legal process and kept me privy to everything along the way. He made a very difficult situation easy to navigate. He was professional, responsive, and supportive.
I will recommend him to anybody that needs a lawyer. I hope I never find myself in a situation like this again but knowing I have Edgar in my corner I no longer fear it.
He is great!
