LABOR & EMPLOYMENT DEFENSE

Here Is Why We Are Your First Choice:

1. When you are sued, the standard response by a labor defense law firm is to defend the case. They file an answer, prepare discovery, and go on with the case. We do it differently. 

2. When  you are sued, we review the case immediately. The next thing we do, is pick up the phone and call opposing counsel. Our goal is to put the case away. At no time is it less expensive than in the beginning. Sometimes it is worth paying a small amount ($5000) to the other side in order to resolve the case rather than go forward and spend money on defense of a labor law case; we cannot tell you how many cases were resolved like this. This is how we are very different. Our goal is not to bill one person/company a lot; rather help many people and have them talk about us and refer their family members to us. We cannot buy the advertising we receive from happy clients; it is priceless and has helped us build our firm over the past 4 decades. 

3. We are not here to bill you as much as possible before resolving the case. If we can get the case resolved rapidly, we know you will always remember us. Can we guarantee results? No. You have two rivals now: the opposing side and their law firm and both have to be accounted for. We will, however, keep trying to resolve the case as rapidly as possible and keep calling at various junctures of the defense case when we feel we may be able to end the lawsuit. 

4. Your job is simple. Provide us all the facts of your case (long email/Word document; please number the paragraphs so we can refer to them) and the lawsuit as well as any other documents you have. 

5. If we cannot put the case away with a high-level negotiation phone call, the next step is to write a legal brief to the opposing counsel (lawyer) explaining your facts and why the case is not valid and why they will lose. This has also proven very effective for labor law defense cases. 

6. If we still have to defend it, we will, and at the right time, call that law firm again in order to end the case. We are not about dragging cases out, we are about ending them as rapidly as possible, saving you 6 figures in legal defense costs.

                                        EXAMPLES OF OUR LABOR LAW DEFENSE 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. The defense lawyer 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 high-lvel 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.

PLEASE NOTE: The results are a function of many factors, the chief one being the facts of your case, and is not a guarantee of your case’s results; we will let you know once we know the case better.
