Employment Law

I whole heartedly recommend Doug Ames to anyone who needs an employment lawyer. Doug was honest and straight forward with me from the first meeting to the last. My discrimination and retaliation case involved a public employer with the resources to stretch it out for years and most attorneys would ...not touch it. After reviewing my case and discussing it with me in depth , Doug laid out the strengths and weaknesses and accepted the challenge. Doug was not intimidated by my employers' high priced law firm in their downtown L A high rise. After a year of taking depositions and court appearances, two weeks of settlement discussions and about week before trial, Doug negotiated a very generous settlement for me.
