Anthony Kent McClaren
About Anthony
Biography
Mr. McClaren is a top-notch problem solver. He has impeccable ethical standards and a hyper-focused, personalized approach to the relationships with his clients. He absorbs his client’s problems, emotionally and spiritually, and makes those problems his own. He has boundless energy, and remains fundamentally optimistic, while also delivering pragmatic advice as necessary. Ultimately, however, if a matter must be litigated, Mr. McClaren will not rest as he pursues the desired goal of his clients.
Mr. McClaren has spent his entire legal career focusing on employment and business litigation. His practice includes representation of clients in administrative matters (such as EDD hearings, and Workers Compensation matters), as well as class action and multi-party action litigation in State and Federal Courts, both in California, New York, and the US Supreme Court.
Mr. McClaren is an accomplished and well regarded rock, ice, and high-altitude mountain climber, as well as an avid reader. Beginning in November 2017, he began an effort to ascend the highest mountain on every continent (known as the 7 Summits, including Mount Everest, Mount Denali, and Antarctica’s Vinson Massif), and completed the endeavor, with minimal to no support, in 2 years and 10 days.
Mr. McClaren has traveled to close to 30 countries. His upbringing saw him relocate to military posts throughout the world, where he stopped to earn his Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology from Eastern New Mexico University in May of 2000, and thereafter his Juris Doctorate from the University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law in May of 2003.
He prides himself on being able to empathize with his clients, and on his ability to be both an advocate and counselor through the crisis of a legal challenge.
