The Law Office of Patrick R. Kitchin

San Francisco Employment Attorneys

Everyone has the right to work in an environment free from discrimination, harassment, wage violations and abuse. Unfortunately, not every worker enjoys this right today.

At Kitchin Legal we use the civil justice system to change peoples’ lives because “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” (Martin Luther King, Jr., from the Birmingham Jail.)

Welcome to Kitchin Legal

Since 1999 Kitchin Legal has helped thousands of courageous people challenge their employers’ illegal labor practices. We have won millions of dollars in compensation for employees and have helped good people reclaim their dignity. We change the way small and large companies treat workers in California.

Kitchin Legal represents ordinary people facing complicated employment challenges. We provide sound employment advice to workers in crisis and, when necessary, prosecute individual and class action lawsuits in the California and federal courts.
