The Best for the Job

David helped me with a case regarding discrimination at my place of employment. I was a good worker, so I never thought it would happen to me. And then it did. It was a complicated case as there were many years of behavior from many people and a variety actions involved. The lawsuit itself lasted fo...r many years too. I always felt confident that David had the knowledge and experience to carry me through every step of the way - and there were a lot of steps! If I had a question, David was prompt to reply. I’m still so impressed with how much David knows about California and federal employment law and how much real life experience he has with all of it. David knows how to build a case from the beginning to go to court. Of course, it’s always better to settle, but you’re in a real pickle if you can’t settle for some reason and your attorney doesn’t know how to win a case in court in front of a judge and jury. David was prepared for every legal angle. It was like playing chess - he was several steps ahead of everyone else. Even in the most stressful situations, David was as cool as a cucumber and a consummate professional. I am so grateful to David for all his help; I really can’t recommend David highly enough!

"David Duchrow is a top-notch employee rights lawyer. He has an excellent reputation in the community and does stellar work -- both in trial and appellate courts. When it comes to California public sector employment cases, he's the best. There's simply no one on the employee side who knows the nuances and intricacies of California public sector employment law better than does David."

Employment and labor lawyer | Jun 26

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"David Duchrow and I have co-counseled together on five cases: disability discrimination and failure to accommodate; age discrimination; national origin discrimination; and two wage and hour class actions. He is remarkably knowledgeable in the law, civil trials and evidence, and appeals. David is responsible, professional and a pleasure to work with. His integrity is above reproach, and his dedication to his clients is inspiring."
