Employment Law Office of Frank Pray is led by Francis Xavier Pray (Frank), an experienced employment law attorney who has been exclusively representing employees since 1977 in Orange County, California. With a distinguished educational background from University of San Diego School of Law where he graduated as a published writer in Law Review, Frank Pray brings over four decades of litigation experience, having conducted countless depositions, mediations, court appearances, trials, and arbitrations, including a recent victorious arbitration on behalf of a physician seeking to stop his former employer from using a non-compete clause. As a true specialist focusing solely on employment law and representing only employees, Frank combines his abilities as a storyteller, strong analytical and creative writer, and strategic thinker to level the playing field for workers facing discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wrongful termination. His passion for employment law and commitment to using the law to protect employee rights has helped him avoid burnout while maintaining excellence in the often stressful demands of litigation, with numerous client testimonials praising his thoughtful approach and ability to secure acceptable resolutions.
Frank Pray’s practice covers the full spectrum of employment law protections including discrimination based on race, national origin, age, gender, ancestry, religion, medical leave use, disability, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic information, political affiliation, military status, marital status, or HIV status. He handles whistleblower protections for employees who report illegal conduct, with California law making it easier to prove retaliation cases by requiring only reasonable belief of illegality rather than actual proof. His expertise extends to family and medical leave rights, pregnancy disability and accommodation, military spouse leave, domestic violence leave, voting leave, jury duty, meal and rest breaks, minimum wage and overtime violations, equal pay claims, and workers’ compensation retaliation. Frank utilizes a fully transparent, cloud-based collaboration system that keeps clients actively involved in their cases through secure case management tools. With damages in wrongful termination verdicts typically ranging between $250,000 and $2,000,000, Frank Pray fights for comprehensive compensation including wage loss, emotional injury, punitive damages, and attorney’s fees. Located at 949-251-1006, the Employment Law Office of Frank Pray offers confidential office or video teleconference consultations for employees throughout Orange County seeking justice in the workplace.
