Serving Employees and Employers Across California
At In Motion Law, APC, we understand that the relationship between employers and employees is the backbone of every successful business — and also one of the most common sources of legal conflict.

We advocate for employees who have experienced unfair treatment, and we counsel employers who need guidance, protection, or defense. No matter which side of the issue you’re on, we’re here to help you understand your rights, weigh your options, and take the best next step.

When California Workplaces Become Legal Battlefields
Disputes in the workplace can take many forms. An employee might believe they’ve been fired because of their age or race. A company might be dealing with a lawsuit from a former worker claiming unpaid wages. A manager may be accused of harassment, or a whistleblower might come forward with allegations of unlawful practices.
These are not just HR issues; they are legal matters, and they require legal solutions.
At In Motion Law, we help our clients navigate the full spectrum of employment disputes in California, including:
- Discrimination based on race, gender, disability, age, religion, or other protected characteristics
- Sexual and workplace harassment
- Retaliation and wrongful termination
- Wage and hour violations, including overtime and meal/rest break claims
- Whistleblower complaints and internal investigations
- Leave disputes under the FMLA, CFRA, or other applicable laws
- Employment contract enforcement and severance negotiations
- Misclassification of employees and independent contractors
- Workplace policies and compliance issues
Our San Diego employment law attorney represents both plaintiffs and defendants — employees pursuing justice and employers defending against claims or seeking to avoid them in the first place. This dual perspective is one of our greatest strengths. It allows us to anticipate how the other side will think, respond, and act. It also helps us craft solutions that are legally sound, tactically smart, and always in our client’s best interest.

At the heart of our employment law practice is Jack H. Pogosian, a seasoned trial attorney who doesn’t shy away from complex or high-stakes litigation. Jack’s philosophy is simple: prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. That preparation often leads to favorable results outside the courtroom, but when a fight is necessary, we’re ready for it.
Whether it’s drafting a powerful motion that dismantles the other side’s case or presenting a compelling argument to a judge or jury, Jack has the experience and skill to advocate effectively from day one. He’s not afraid to do the hard work, and he never takes shortcuts with your future.
Guidance for Employers
California’s employment laws are among the most employee-friendly — and most complicated — in the nation. Even well-intentioned employers can find themselves on the wrong side of a legal dispute. At In Motion Law, we help businesses understand their obligations and protect themselves from risk. Our services for employers include:
- Reviewing and drafting employment contracts, handbooks, and policies
- Advising on terminations, layoffs, and disciplinary actions
- Conducting workplace investigations and audits
- Responding to administrative claims (e.g., EEOC, DFEH, DLSE)
- Defending against lawsuits filed by current or former employees
- Counseling on compliance with wage and hour laws, leave requirements, and anti-discrimination statutes
We work with startups, small businesses, and established companies that value proactive legal counsel and reliable litigation support. Our goal is to resolve problems before they escalate and to position employers to operate with confidence and clarity.
Support for Employees
Employees are entitled to work in environments free from discrimination, harassment, and unfair treatment. But when those rights are violated, knowing what to do can be overwhelming. You may be afraid to speak up, unsure of your rights, or worried about retaliation. That’s where we come in.
At In Motion Law, we help employees understand their rights, evaluate their options, and assert their claims with strength and precision. We understand the emotional toll of a workplace dispute, and we take your concerns seriously. We’ll be honest with you about the strength of your case, what to expect, and how we can help.
Whether we’re negotiating a severance package, filing a wage claim, or taking your case to court, we fight with everything we’ve got to protect your interests and pursue justice.
Fair Solutions. Smart Strategies. Powerful Advocacy.
What sets us apart is not just our knowledge of employment law; it’s how we use it. We treat every case with the attention and urgency it deserves, and we don’t back down from a challenge. Our experience representing both sides gives us an edge in negotiations and litigation alike. We don’t just react to problems. We anticipate them, and we solve them strategically.
Jack Pogosian brings both courtroom firepower and a down-to-earth approach that clients trust.
