Taylor Edward Derosa

Taylor E. DeRosa is a California employment lawyer who represents employees, and a personal injury lawyer who represents people hurt by someone else's carelessness. He was admitted to the State Bar of California in 2018 and leads DeRosa Law Firm, representing clients across Orange County, Los Angeles County and the Inland Empire.

His employment practice covers wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation and whistleblower claims, wage and hour claims, disability accommodation and medical leave, and severance agreement review. He represents people, never companies: one attorney, from the first call to the verdict.

Before founding DeRosa Law Firm, Taylor trained at Rizio Lipinsky, handling employee-side cases, including matters taken to trial. In February 2025, as trial counsel with Rizio Lipinsky, he tried Carmell v. Janet's Enterprises, Inc., et al. in San Bernardino County Superior Court to a $41,098,250 verdict. In 2025, the Employment Rights Section of the American Association for Justice presented its Employment Excellence Award to the Carmell trial team. He is recognized by Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America, Labor and Employment Law, Employee, every year since 2024, and serves on the Board of Directors of the Orange County Trial Lawyers Association (2025). Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome; each result depends on the specific facts and law of that matter.

Before law, Taylor was a professional touring drummer. He holds a J.D. and an M.B.A. from Saint Louis University and a degree in Music Business from Belmont University.
