Dawn Michelle Knepper

I was unfairly included in a company layoff immediately following my maternity leave and it put my family and I in a very difficult situation. My new baby had several medical issues and I suffered from PPA as a result. Dawn helped me secure more severance to help us with medical bills, and to give m...e more time to care for my son and myself without being forced into a job search right away. We are so grateful for her care, her tenacious efforts, and aggressive approach with our case.

Ms. Knepper was very thorough and helpful every step of the way. She always maintained a high professionalism, even though dealing with the other side who was extremely difficult. She provided great council and insight each step of the way. Highly recommend to anyone seeking a Employment & Labor L...awyer.

I couldn't recommend Dawn enough! After being laid off while on maternity leave, I reached out to Dawn after coming across her profile on AVVO. In our first conversation, Dawn took the time to hear my experience, talk through my questions and concerns, and explain her recommended approach in detail. ...I immediately felt heard, cared about, and validated. She patiently reviewed my documentation, drafted an incredible demand letter, and consistently followed up with my prior employer until we were able to reach an agreement without having to go into litigation. While it was never about the money, Dawn relentlessly advocated for me and my family, exceeding my expectations on a settlement. If you are looking for knowledgable, experienced, persistent, and compassionate legal representation, look no further.

Dawn’s wealth of experience combined with her understanding of employment law led to her spot-on strategy while representing me in my wrongful termination case. She knew the questions to ask and listened to me deeply. I was feeling scared, confused, and alone before I met Dawn. After Dawn wrote the ...demand letter to my former employer, I felt heard, respected, and confident. She gave me a voice. She truly cares. She was relentless in following up with the demand until the case was settled pre-litigation, surpassing the goal we had set from the beginning. She helped bring closure for me that I didn’t think I could ever get. Dawn is amazing. I am so grateful to know Dawn and have had her in my corner fighting the good fight!

I was referred to Dawn by 4 different people. I live in the Bay Area and had a terrible experience with an employer in Orange County. I was a partner at a Management Consulting Firm with very powerful, sharp men at the top. Dawn took all of them on and very quickly and efficiently was able to negoti...ate a great package for me. It was also very complex considering the headquarters of the company are in Australia. She worked late hours to help negotiate across time zones. I am so grateful for her tenacity!
