Extensive Legal Background For Over 30 years

Since 1994, the attorneys at our firm have been dedicated to preserving clients’ rights in and out of court, whether involving employment law civil rights or criminal defense.

We have extensive employment law and civil rights practice focused on meeting clients’ needs in areas such as:

• Employment Contracts- helping you take control of your severance or employee contract negotiation to preserve your rights.
• First Amendment issues – fighting to protect clients’ rights to speak out, picket, distribute literature or practice any religion
• Human Trafficking: If you or someone you know is a victim of human trafficking, you may recover damages not only from the traffickers but also from third parties who knowingly benefited from the trafficking.
• Layoff – helping employees maximize the value of severance agreements to help them get through difficult times in their careers.
• LBGT Rights – challenging unlawful employment practices that discriminate based on sexual orientation.
• Severance agreements – helping clients evaluate and maximize their severance package offers.
• Sexual harassment – protecting private and public employees, teachers, students and other individuals from illegal and offensive behavior in the workplace
• Wage and hour claims – protecting employees, union members and other professionals from illegal rest break/overtime policies, and advising employers on how to comply with the Labor Code
• Whistleblower claims – defending clients from reprisal after turning their employer in for fraud, corruption, exploitation and other serious crimes
• Workplace criminal conduct – if you made threats against your employer or other employees, we will carefully review the evidence against you to protect your rights.
