Check if your employer has an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). It sometimes includes free legal consultations. Also, many employment attorneys charge for initial consultations fwiw.

I went through something similar. The key is to act quickly — statutes of limitation are shorter than you think. My attorney took it on contingency and we settled for a decent amount.

This sounds like a clear violation. Document everything and file with the appropriate agency. In California, you have strong protections under the Labor Code.

Update: Thanks everyone for the guidance. I consulted with an attorney and we're moving forward. The advice here helped me understand what questions to ask and what to expect. Will update when there's a resolution.
