Jean-Claude Lapuyade

I truly wish all law firms were like JCL. Jean-Claude was professional, fair, friendly, and took the time to have multiple conversations if questions came up. I never felt rushed. I always felt listened to, and I strongly believe that Jean-Claude care deeply about helping his clients. Not to mentio...n that he was able to negotiate a settlement IN MEDIATION with a huge company. As soon as Jean-Claude agreed to take my case, I felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I could not recommend him highly enough.

Like everyone else in this CoVid Pandemic, I found myself laid off and being asked to sign a bunch of documents. I work in Production in Los Angeles, so this wasn't my first layoff, and likely won't be my last. That said, I've read a few separation agreements in my time, and there were a few red flag...s in this particular agreement that worried me. With about 72 hours to figure out my next course of action, Jean-Claude Lapuyade came highly recommended from a friend. I decided to give him a call. Jean-Claude Lapuyade was able to squeeze a quick consultation into an unexpected window in his schedule, and, in just 30min, it was so clear that he was a top notch employment attorney. He knew all the right questions to ask, and had a wealth of knowledge that clued me into what my options are from this point. If anything goes South as I proceed with my chosen next steps, I know exactly who to call to seek justice against a questionable past employer. 5 stars! Highly recommend!

...against former employer who habitually denied staff, myself included, breaks in an Ambulatory Surgery Center where I worked as an RN. When I became ill at work after 9 hrs straight, I claimed missed rest & meal breaks & was summarily terminated. Jean-Claude took my case and kept me informed eve...ry step of the way to an apparent favorable settlement. Jean-Claude was kind, compassionate, knowledgeable & communicative.
