GREAT JOB!!!

Irvine Law Group handled my case of unpaid wages. I found Rod through a Google search online. I am a sole proprietor and was told by Rod that I was being misclassified as an independent contractor when I was really actually an employee. I am very pleased with the results of my case. Rod is a good law...yer who told me step by step how the process would be and he always answered my emails and phone calls. I would definitely recommend Irvine Law Group.

Its not what you know- its who represents you.

With my case I didn't know where to start while choosing a lawyer for my claims. I called a few different attorneys and they didn't get very excited about my case. I found Rod through a google search online. He was a hundred miles away from where I lived but I called him anyway. I began by telling hi...m my complaints at work and how I wasn't getting paid for all the days I worked. After a few minutes Rod explained the laws and how they applied to me. My initial call to him was over only a few thousand dollars in unpaid wages but I ended up learning that for the last 5 years I'd been misclassified as a independent contractor when I was actually an employee. A few days later a demand letter went out for nearly $400,000 in unpaid wages and you can imagine my surprise. I had no idea I was even owed that much money. It wasn't more than a month later that my employer settled!

Great personal lawyer

Rod has gone above and beyond in my book. Of course I can't talk about my case, but he worked with me in every aspect and I believe he got me the best outcome I could receive. I would recommend him and use him again. Heck I've already recommended him.

Great business lawyer

Rod helped me and my business partner with a lawsuit. He is an extremely good lawyer. We were always able to get a hold of him personally, and if not, he would call us back immediately. This was our first lawuit and we were nervous. But he made the process as painfree as a lawsuit can be. I have... already recommended him to others.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
