EXAMPLES OF OUR TRIAL LAWYERS’ SUCCESSFUL RESULTS:
1. Our client had two employees who each sued him for $375,000 using two different law firms; one in San Diego and one in Orange County. Now, he did accidentally violate some labor laws, but we settled both cases for $5,000 each and 6 months to pay.
2. One of our clients ( a couple) was sued by their Business partner. We went to mediation. They were asking for $3.4 million. We walked out with $250,000 paid to my clients.
3. We had a lawsuit that went to mediation with the CEO of the company we had filed against. After 8 hours of mediation he offered $10,000 and after 10 hours he had offered a maximum of $20,000. We filed in federal court and worked the case. We settled for a healthy 7-figure number (we cannot tell you how much due to confidentiality provisions).
4. We had a complaint against a large firm. The company had stated it had various complaints of that nature and normally paid $5,000 as the lawyer was the one who had defended these cases for years; we settled for 6 figures. He was bewildered.
5. One of our clients was sued for $600,000; he is a contractor and regrettably made poor decisions. If this case went to trial he would owe a lot more. We settled for $90,000; a great deal according to him.
6. One of our clients was in an employment lawsuit, but with a different law firm. She lost a jury trial and got hit with a $3,000,000 verdict. Our lead attorney, a negotiator, resolved it for $240,000, under 1/12th of what she owed and would have had to pay for the rest of her life.
7. A high-level political figure was being extorted as the other side had evidence of no-nos that would have been destructive for the figure and his team. The case was negotiated by our lead attorney and was resolved with no money changing hands.
8. One of our clients was sued for $2.1 million by ex-employees with charges that may or may not have been real, but had severe consequences. The case was negotiated for $100,000 as it was cheaper than litigation to take to trial.
9. One of clients was recently sued in a case for just over half a million, plus there was an attorneys’ fees provision, so they would have spent a million by the time of trial, in addition to the costs of having us defend them. The case was resolved for $20,000.

EXPERIENCED. STRATEGIC. RELENTLESS.
We represent both employers and employees. Representing employers, we know what employees can say and do, what to expect and what surprises can be in store. Representing employees, we have a deeper understanding of what they feel, what bothers them and why they feel betrayed, as well as what employers are capable of, given the work situation.
What we have learned from each side has helped us become much better lawyers because we have a deeper understanding of the needs and requirements of both employers and employees. Whether you are an employer or employee, we can help you in such matters as:
- Disputes over stock options: These involve issues of compensation arising from the use of stock options.
- Misclassifying employees: Many companies choose to classify full-time employees as contractors to avoid certain tax liabilities.
- Denied meal breaks: Everyone deserves to eat their meals while at work in peace.
- Denied rest breaks: Necessary break times help employees stay productive and they are, after all human, not machines.
- Unpaid overtime: When you work overtime, you deserve to get paid for that extra work.
- Labor board hearings: When employers or employees take matters to the California labor board, we can help represent your interests so that you make the best of your first impression.
- Sexual harassment: We provide skilled representation to clients with issues of inappropriate conduct in the workplace.
- Discrimination: Allegations of discrimination are extremely serious.
- FMLA disputes: We represent employers and employees in issues stemming from the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
- Tips for employers: What do employers need to know about their legal liabilities?
- FEHA Discrimination based on age and other factors.
Nothing beats experience, especially when you are at a Labor Board hearing and there is no time to prepare an answer for a question you didn’t anticipate. California’s labor and employment laws make this a very hard state in which to conduct business, which is why a labor and employment lawyer should be considered an integral member of your team.
