Something happened at work that doesn't feel right? You need someone who's been there.

I spent 40 years punching a clock before practicing law full-time. Twenty-some jobs—flipped burgers, installed carpet, sold cars, worked as a nurse for a decade, wrote software. I know what it's like to need a job more than the job needs you.

In 2016, an employer didn't pay me. I'd had my law license since 2004 but hadn't used it much. I went after them, got every dollar they owed—and then some. Now I represent California employees in wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wage theft cases. Individual cases and class actions. Never employers.

Over $5 million recovered for California workers. Class action settlements include $2.275 million, $700,000, and $450,000 against staffing companies, fast food chains, manufacturers, and hotels.

Wrongful termination. Discrimination. Sexual harassment. Retaliation. Whistleblower claims. Unpaid wages and overtime. Meal and rest breaks. Unpaid commissions.
