Walter Haines

My team and I are 100% committed to helping employees like you who have been wronged by their employers. Learn more about UELG and meet the team that makes it all possible. We are a premier, San Diego employment law firm. I built my firm to truly help employees who have been mistreated by unscrupulous or unwitting employers.

What Made Me Want to be an Employment Lawyer?

In my career, it seemed like a natural transition. Over the past 40 years that I have practiced, my passion for law has always stemmed from my desire for helping others. Though I started my career as an agent for the IRS, (which I do hope most have forgiven me for), I moved on to estate law, then into business law, and this is where I realized the EMPLOYEE was the type of client I had a heart for. My joy has always come in ASSISTING PEOPLE who need my help; the feeling of satisfaction I get, knowing I have genuinely made a difference for them is PRICELESS.

For the last 15 years, I have focused my practice on advocating for California’s employees. In that time, we have handled more than 1500 employment law cases, with what I think you will agree are EXCELLENT RESULTS, culminating in over $400 MILLION in awards to our clients.

I hope it is pretty clear at this point, that employment law has sincerely become my calling. Not only have our clients received some of the best results for our area of practice, but with the strategic use of the class action, we help larger groups of workers to recover wages, penalties, interest, expenses and damages from other illegal actions by their employers.

Is UELG really Different? I know you’ve heard it all before.

“We’re better!” “We’re different!” And on and on. I am as tired of these empty claims as you are, however, I believe our clients tell the story best. Since I built this firm, we have grown in popularity, due in no small part to the referrals of our satisfied clients. When our former clients refer their friends and family to us, at United Employees Law Group, we are truly honored by this achievement. This validation of all our hard work and personal attention is the best thank you we receive!

Here to serve YOU.

Without an excellent team, I could never achieve the results I do. They are a crucial piece of the puzzle, and you can trust that I have built one of the best teams in the industry. I want you to have faces to put with the names when you call my offices so here is my team, we are here for you. Meet the Team!

Is Your EMPLOYER Giving You Trouble? UELG Can Help

FOUR Great Reasons Employees Just Like You Choose UELG.

While we are very happy you have found us for help, we recognize no one really wants to deal with lawyers, but if something or someone at work has pushed you to the point that it is time to take action, we are here to assist you. At UELG, our goal is to make the legal process as pain-free as possible. We love helping our clients see a positive end to a bad situation.

Here Is How We Do Just That:

1. RESULTS! Money talks. The majority of employees who have an issue at work are looking for a lawyer who can get them a good settlement for their troubles. While each case varies, WE HAVE GOTTEN BIG RESULTS; our clients have been awarded OVER $250,000,000 from our cases-both individual and class action. Who wouldn’t like to see settlements like these?
2. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. We want to make this process as simple as possible. You already have a problem at work, you don’t need a problem with your lawyer too. Here are the steps: you call or email my office, we ask a few questions, then set up a FREE consultation with an attorney. After that, you send us any documentation we need and you will get an answer right away as to whether or not we will be able to help. No waiting around for weeks, wondering if you were forgotten about!
3. Communication is KEY! One of the biggest complaints I hear day in and day out has to be, “What hoops do I have to jump through to get a lawyer to call me back?!” NOT IN MY FIRM! We pride ourselves on our responsiveness, and care for your needs. Should you ever get the impression that you have not received the utmost attention, you may ask to talk with me directly, Walter Haines. I built this firm and it is this personal touch that I believe makes the difference.
4. The bottom line is, NOTHING matches REAL HANDS ON EXPERIENCE to achieve the best outcomes. We have over 35 years experience, and we fight for our clients. We know California employment law backwards and forwards, and we have used this extensive knowledge in handling over 1500 employment law cases. Look at what our satisfied clients have to say.

Employees Are Our Passion: protecting their rights, and their paychecks is what we do!

I Built this firm, aptly named, United Employees Law Group, for one purpose. I wanted to help employees, who need help with an employer who is breaking the law. Whether they have broken the law on purpose, or by ignorance, it is still wrong, and you have the right to take action.

Employees, who face issues at work need a trusted place to turn for advice, and advocacy. We are here for you, if you are dealing with a manager, or coworker who is not adhering to California labor law.

It is our “outside the box,” whole picture approach to these problems, that helps us to best serve our clients. Even if you call us with a harassment problem, we know how to ask the right questions that will help us determine if you have other claims as well, such as discrimination, wrongful termination, or even wage and hour violations.

It is my experience, that where there is smoke, there is often fire. Most companies or supervisors, willing to break the law in one area, are likely breaking it elsewhere. Ignorance of the law, does not exempt the company from paying or treating you properly, and the labor laws in California are very detailed, heavily leaning in favor of the employees rights.

This is the reason we may ask you questions about all aspects of your employment, so we don’t miss anything that may help your claim or increase it.

There are thousands of sites like Wikipedia and CNN News, which provide valuable information on a general level for employment concerns, but at United Employees Law Group, you will find an authority on California employment law.  In the event that we can not take your case, we will help you locate the proper resources to help you. You have no obligation, so call us today for a free case review and see if we can help you.
