Seeking legal recs for employee misclassification
I was misclassified as a 1099 employee and was denied certain benefits as a w2 employee. I am also dealing with EDD unemployment disqualification (and penalties) as a result of this. I am looking for a lawyer to review my case.

I am an attorney and tax professional at a national chain. I have seen this issue from time to time, and it is especially prevalent in these days of Uber, Lyft who legisllted specially to exempt their drivers from employee status. The IRS is cracking down. Caveat: Action will likely sever your relationship with the "employer". Here is how it works.
