I am the Managing Partner and Founder of Rise Law Firm.
I have two degrees from Harvard, having graduated with magna cum laude honors from Harvard College in 2003 and Harvard Law School in 2007. Upon law school graduation, I was hired by O’Melveny & Myers, the largest law firm in Los Angeles and a globally recognized legal powerhouse that has trained some of America’s most prominent lawyers, judges, politicians and business leaders. I spent 4 years at O’Melveny – and during that time I worked tirelessly as outside counsel representing corporations such as Univision, Participant Media, and the International Olympic Committee. In my first year I was one of the highest billing associates in the entire firm, worldwide. And by my fourth year I was helping to lead teams in negotiating legal matters in excess of $1 billion.
Since that time, I made the important and life-changing decision to devote my career exclusively to representing individuals, not corporations. I have never looked back.
Over the course of my career, I have represented hundreds of people victimized at their workplace or injured by the negligent or intentional acts of others. My firm’s cases have garnered attention from major news and legal publications, including the Los Angeles Times, Wall Street Journal, Hollywood Reporter and Law360, and I have personally been selected as one of the top 100 up-and-coming lawyers in all of Southern California each year for the past 5 years.

Knowledgeable and honest
Joel reached out to me regarding a potential wrongful termination suit. I appreciated that he took the time that he did with me to explain the different laws and whether my case was a viable one. Very knowledgeable and honest!

Good listener
Where to start. My case is complex and there are a lot of reasons an attorney should want to take it. I think it will be big case with an enormous company (with a slippery reputation). I have a lot of evidence covering a lot of time. That’s all very good for attorneys. There’s also a lot of reasons n...

Great Attorney
Eliot was my attorney for a purchase transaction of a corporation out of Phoenix. He was extremely knowledgeable and he made the transaction extremely easy. I recommend him as to everyone who is looking for an attorney that is honest and he works extremely hard to get the job done.
