If you are an employee and have suffered wrong doing from your employer, and you are frightened and are hesitant to select an attorney simply because you do not know who is respectable or worse incompetent. I highly recommend Pamela Teren as your attorney for any employment litigation.
I am a former client of Ms. Teren and I can say without a doubt that she is highly intelligent, supportive, intuitive, moral, approachable and friendly, extremely knowledgeable in her field, and possesses a strength of a gladiator. In my case, she went up against three corporate legal entities (some of which are notorious), and sparred with them with SunTz skills.
Ms. Teren is not easily derailed by threats, unprincipled behavior of opposing counsel which you will find comforting since you will be a novice and easily manipulated by such intimidating actions. My lawsuit lasted seven long years, which was beyond anything I ever anticipated. Without her unyielding piety for justice, I don’t know if I would have been able to see it through to the end.
Ms. Teren has been in the employment litigation field for quite some time. In fact, on both sides of the fence so to speak which gives her the advantage of knowing how the other side will think and behave. In summary, Ms. Teren gets results. She will defend you with experience and factual information in a way that draws the jury to her ideas with clarity and reasoning.
I will always be forever grateful to Ms. Teren. She believed in my story and reassured me that I was not alone in my plight against injustice. If you are fortunate enough to have Ms. Teren as your legal counsel, know that you will be professionally represented in the court of law but also understood with a level of empathy that is rare in the legal field.
Pamela provides wholistic, practical advice on a legal and life level. I consulted her when I saw adverse actions taken towards me in the workplace. She introduces all perspectives, talks through pros and cons, and helps you move forward. I felt her interests were my interests.

Outstanding representation!
I could not of have envisioned a more competent and professional attorney to represent my best interests in resolving my legal matter. On all levels, Attorney Teren never failed to deliver exemplary service! My calls and inquiries were promptly answered, I never was left in the dark, always was updated on the progress of my case, and simply was always kept in the loop which was very important for me. If you are seeking legal representation that has your best interests at heart, you need not look any further, Pamela Teren is the attorney you should retain! She earns my highest marks and praise for how she successfully helped me in resolving my case. I am certain she would do the same for anyone considering to hire her for their representation.

A wonderful trustworthy attorney
I had the best experience possible under the circumstances because I had a lawyer like Pam who not only was knowledgeable, but very trustworthy and upfront. She kept me informed throughout the whole process and made me feel as if it was me that mattered most. I feel very fortunate to have found such an upstanding and honorable person and attorney. She is a rarity and I would definitely recommend her services.

Dave Diecks, client of Pam. Excellent attorney for wrongful termination clients. Highly recommend Pamela Teren for legal issues.
I obtained Pamela Teren for legel help for a wrongful termnation from my past employer. Pamela Teren was highly recommended to me during a very difficult time I was experiencing. I believe that Pamela Teren understood my issue, was willing to accept my case and timely came to a positive decision that kept me financially able to support my family during a difficult time. I have refered numerous individuals to Pamela Teren. I live in Riverside, CA. I could not find an attorney in the inland empire that specialized and put effort into a wrongful termination case that Pamela Teren put into my individual case. I highly recommend Pamela Teren to address your legal issues. I give her a 5 star rating. She is a true blessing who has empathy towards all individuals.

Sexual harassment Attorney | Jun 12
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"I was opposing counsel with Pam on a memorable sexual harassment case years ago. As a former defense attorney, she was a mighty force to oppose especially when the facts were in her favor. I strongly recommend her and look forward to working with or against her in the future."
