I have been practicing law since 1993, and worked in the legal field as a paralegal and law clerk since 1985. I have dedicated my practice since January 1994 to representing Employees with respect to their legal claims (all types) against current and former employers, including pre-litigation negotiations, administrative hearings, government claims, contract and severance review/negotiations, mediation, arbitration, trial (bench and jury), appeals and more. In addition to my extensive legal experience with employment law, I am tremendously passionate about my cases and helping my clients through difficult times. I, along with my amazing staff, work tirelessly to help each client reach the best result possible for their case.

We handle every type of Discrimination claim (all protected classes), including complex disability discrimination issues that may involve on-the-job injuries, as well as Retaliation/Whistleblower claims, Wrongful Termination, Medical/Pregnancy/FMLA Issues, Labor Code Violations (missed breaks, unpaid overtime, misclassification, etc.), EDD appeals, Administrative Hearings, Public Entity claims, and more.

The Law Offices of Laura J. Farris is the team you want for your legal needs. My wife and I hired Laura Farris to represent us in a complex case.

Laura was my attorney when I was fired because of my disability . She did excellent job and we won at trial. Laura cares about her clients as people not just as clients. When you have been mistreated by your employer, call Laura!!

I hired Laura to represent me but I didn't understand that the relationship is different from what I expected. I dealt predominately with her underling who was not responsive and frequently unavailable for a multitude of reasons. I was very disappointed and dismayed by this almost one year relation...
Since the individual who wrote this review did not address these concerns with me, I was never given the opportunity to respond or correct the situation, if there was any misunderstanding. We work tirelessly to help each and every client in the best manner possible, and have tremendous results to show for it. Unfortunately, no attorney can guarantee a successful outcome for 100% of their clients for a variety of reasons. We also have no control over clients (or individuals posting as clients) posting false or misleading information online in reviews. Nevertheless, we stand behind our stellar experience with employment law, our incredible accomplishments and results, and our countless clients who have been extremely satisfied with our representation and their results.

Mrs. Farris took a chance on my case when no other attorney would help. She and her team worked diligently to help. My family will always be grateful for her hard work and knowledge that helped us to a victory.
"I highly endorse this lawyer. Laura is a dedicated and outstanding advocate for employees who are discriminated against, harassed or retaliated against by their employers. We have worked together on matters including co-chairs on a high dollar jury trial against the City of San Diego regarding a disability discrimination claim. The city lost the case and ultimately had to pay out close to $900,000 after judgment and request for statutory attorneys fees."
"I am happy to endorse Laura. As a defense attorney, I see lots of plaintiff's lawyers in action. I regularly refer individuals to Laura because she is smart, pragmatic, diligent and talented. She fights hard (and well) for her clients, and is always professional and reasonable."
"Ms. Farris is a top flight employee rights lawyer. In fact, she is one of the premier lawyers in this arena in San Diego County. I strongly endorse her."
"Laura is a preeminent authority in the field of employment law, especially concerning the rights of employees. Laura is a smart, conscientious and personable attorney who is very passionate about obtaining great results for her clients. I refer all clients with employment related questions to Laura and will continue to do so in the future."
"It is my privilege to endorse Laura Farris. She is a knowledgeable, compassionate, and conscientious attorney who is a zealous advocate for her clients. I highly recommend her for employment law matters."
"I endorse this lawyer. Laura is an excellent attorney who always has her clients' best interests in mind."
"I have known Laura Farris professionally for 19 years and worked with her in the same firm for several of those years. She is a tenacious advocate for her clients and does not cower to bullying tactics. I not only endorse her, I have referred clients to her and will continue to do so in the future."
"In any area of employment law, an employee will not find a stronger, more compassionate advocate than they will in Laura Farris. I have had the distinct pleasure and honor of working for Laura.
