I represent employees in a variety of employment related class action and individual matters. My practice areas include wrongful termination and discrimination, harassment, unpaid overtime, and missed meal and rest breaks. I also represent consumers in disputes against companies for consumer fraud, harassing telephone calls and bank fees. I have litigated against Fortune 500 companies, including some of the largest companies in California and the United States. My goal is to right injustices by obtaining the maximum recovery for clients and to stop abuses by big corporations.

Marc and I attended law school together at USC. Marc was an accomplished student and became an editor of the Interdisciplinary Law Journal. After school Marc worked at several large law firms before starting his own practice. This varied experience gives him a unique and invaluable insight into employment law from the employer side which he can now use to the benefit of his employee clients. I would recommend Marc.
