Practice Areas
The Wrongs We Fight In Plain Terms
One of these may sound like what happened to you, or to someone you care about. If it does, your first conversation is free, and there is no pressure.
Workplace Discrimination & Harassment
California law protects you from workplace harassment and discrimination based on characteristics such asyour religion, disability, sex,orrace. Ifyou experienced discrimination or harassment at work, or ifyour employerfired you, cut your hours, or otherwise retaliated because you spoke up about it,we can help.
Unpaid OT, Breaks & Expenses
Unpaid wages, overtime, missed breaks, and unreimbursed expenses. If you are not being paid everything you earned, that is a wage and hour violation.
Whistleblower Protections & Qui Tam
You reported wrongdoing and faced retaliation or you have information that could expose fraud. Whistleblower laws protect you, and qui tam rewards those who help.
Misclassification
Your employer calls you a contractor to deny you the wages, benefits, and protections you are owed as an employee. Misclassification is illegal.
Consumer Fraud
A company used deception to sell, bill, or sign you up for something you never wanted. Consumers have rights, too.
The Record We Fight With
More Than $250 Million Results.
Across wage and hour, discrimination, whistleblower, and consumer cases, the results speak for themselves. This is the record, and we are not done.

Years Fighting Side By Side
A collaborative team that has grown up together professionally and works every case as one.
Not A Volume Firm
How We’re Different From A Lead Mill
Volume firms answer in minutes and hand you off. We take fewer cases on purpose, so yours gets the fight it deserves.
We Work Together
One client, one collaborative team. Every attorney brings their strength to your case, not one overworked lawyer.
You Talk To A Lawyer
Direct, one-on-one time with an attorney, not a call center or a file handed to a paralegal.
Willing To Go To Trial
Every case we take, we are ready to take to trial. That willingness is why we maximize recovery.
A Limited Caseload
We take only a handful of cases at a time so each one gets our full attention.

Our attorneys have fought side by side for more than 25 years, with over 70 years of combined experience, for people too often treated as the underdog.

Common Questions
Questions We Hear Before The First Call
Honest answers, even when the truth is hard to hear.
Is the consultation really free?
Yes. The first conversation is free and carries no obligation. We’ll listen to what happened, tell you where you legally stand in plain terms, and talk through your options. No pressure and no catch.
Do I have a case?
If you were discriminated against, harassed, or retaliated against, not paid everything you earned, misclassified, or misled by a company, you may have a claim. The fastest way to find out is a free conversation. We’ll be honest with you about your odds.
What kinds of matters don’t you take?
We’re a selective boutique firm, not a volume shop. We take a limited number of cases we’re willing to take to trial. We don’t offer free severance or agreement reviews (those are paid, hourly consultations), and we don’t take cases another firm has already filed.
What does it cost to talk to you?
The first conversation is free and carries no obligation. Before you commit to anything, we’ll be clear and honest about how the case works and how we’re paid.
Still Wondering If You Have A Case?
A free conversation is the fastest way to find out. We’ll tell you where you legally stand.
