Jean-Claude Lapuyade

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.

Jean-Claude and his team were retained after being referred by a service in or around late 2014 early 2015. My case was classified as a class action and Jean-Claude was very well versed on educating me on what was going on during a case. And very good at explaining any tactics that were being used ...by the other side. Long story short Jean-Claude and his team maintained an open line of communication for me and made a stressfull situation less stressful for my by educating and informing me on anything that I was or they thought I may have been unsure about. Most importantly though is that Jean-Claude and his team always kept me in the loop on anything and everything that had to do with my case.

I was very hesitant to bring a lawsuit against my former employer, as they are a large and well-known company. I had contacted three or four other attorneys before getting in touch with Mr. Lapuyade. From the very start of our attorney-client relationship I felt not only well informed, but understood.... Mr. Lapuyade recovered far more than what was expected not only for myself, but for numerous employees, including employees who didnt even know they were being stiffed earned wages. Mr. Lapuyade took care of everything with efficiency and I would recommend him to anyone in a similar situation.
