About Keith

Learn Keith’s areas of practice.

Custis Law P.C. is a Los Angeles-based employment law firm that represents employees and applicants who need help protecting their legal rights.

With over 20 years of high-level experience, Keith Custis is a passionate and aggressive advocate for employees who have been mistreated by their employers.  Keith founded Custis Law, P.C. to help individuals facing difficult work issues. Keith focuses his practice on the representation of employees in cases involving wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation, wage and hour laws and violations of the numerous laws that require job-protected leaves of absence. Keith also represents employees and consumers in wage and hour and consumer class actions.

Having represented some of the largest companies in the world, Keith evaluates employment law matters from every angle and perspective, including the employer’s point of view. He is a strategic negotiator and effective litigator who provides caring, personalized representation focused on each client’s individual goals and circumstances.

As an employee in California, understanding your legal rights can be a challenge. If you don’t know your rights, protecting them can be next to impossible. When you consider that employers often prioritize their bottom lines over treating their employees with the respect they deserve, it is not hard to see why many employees simply give up when they experience discriminatory or other unfair treatment on the job.

At Custis Law, P.C., Keith turn the tables in our clients’ favor. With over two decades of legal experience, Keith has extensive knowledge of the state and federal laws that protect employees in California. He puts his advocacy skills to work for employees in negotiations, administrative proceedings, and in court. When you come to us, we don’t expect you to know your rights. If you believe you may have been wronged—or if you aren’t sure and would like to find out—we encourage you to contact us for a free consultation.

Can’t go wrong with Keith!
Keith is an amazing attorney who is very dedicated to his clients. I had the pleasure of working with him a few years ago and can sincerely say I was satisfied with my results. He is very responsive, attentive to his clients’ needs, and realistic about what to expect from your case. He takes the time to answer your questions and do the research in order to give you the best results. I knew I was in great hands right when I met him and sincerely appreciate him and all that he did for me.

Best Legal Help!
It was a pleasure having Keith Custis represent me on a lawsuit. He thoroughly explained the legal process, kept me updated of the status of the case on a regular basis, and was considerate of my time when scheduling appointments which, is very important to me. I was very satisfied with the outcome. I would definitely recommend Keith to someone seeking legal representation and would use him again if I needed legal help.

Thank you, Keith!!
I hired Keith to represent me in a wage theft suit with a former employer, and it was the best decision I could have made. Keith is one of the good ones -- he truly listens to and cares about his clients. He was transparent, ethical, and forthcoming about all details regarding my case. I was always able to speak with him directly, no question was too small. He brought about a successful outcome to an incredibly stressful time period in my life. If you are in need of labor representation, I cannot recommend Keith enough. He's a true advocate and will 100% have your back.
