I am recognized as a tenacious defender of my client’s rights that provides top shelf legal representation without the top shelf price. During law school I worked at the Fresno County District Attorney’s Office in the Consumer & Environmental Protection Division where I assisted in the prosecution of violations of California’s environmental protection laws and the laws regulating public advertising and unfair business practices. After leaving the District Attorney’s Office I worked as a Law Clerk for a real estate and business litigation firm for several years with a focus on real estate transactions, civil litigation, intellectual property, employment law, and business law.
After passing the California State Bar I was offered a position as an associate attorney at the law firm I was clerking for and began representing clients in areas of strategic entity formation, land acquisition, trademarks, contract negotiation, labor and employment, litigation, corporate dissolutions and business disputes.
In 2016 I took a position as an associate attorney at a boutique multi-state labor and employment law firm that specialized in counseling clients on labor and employment law matters and aggressively representing clients in litigation of employment law and business-related cases before state and federal courts and administrative agencies. At this law firm I represented clients in business disputes, class action lawsuits, employment actions and OSHA matters. In 2018, I was selected by his peers as a Northern California “Rising Star” as an Employment Litigation Attorney.
After working for several years with some of Fresno’s most experienced business and employment lawyers I felt it was the proper time to join Proper Defense Law Corporation’s and create its Civil Division by offering my experience and services to individuals and businesses.
I am dedicated to my profession and am constantly taking advantage of as many opportunities as possible to learn how to better advocate on behalf of my clients. I frequently attends seminars and lectures that are put on by some of the nation’s best attorneys and am an avid reader of books aimed at making me a better attorney.
In addition to my devotion to my career I am actively involved in the community through various organizations. For several years I served on the City of Fresno District 6 Plan Implementation Committee at the request of then councilman Lee Brand. In addition, I am heavily involved in the St. Agnes Men’s Club, Fresno County Women’s Lawyer Association and the Fresno County Bar Association.
I possess a tireless work ethic that is client driven and cost effective. I like to say that I provide big-city quality legal services without the big-city price. I makes sure the work is done right the first time, on-time, and every time.

Justin was extremely helpful. I had a very complicated case and he made the process a lot easier to deal with. Any questions I had, he had the answers.

Mr. Vecchiarelli is truly an amazing, caring, and well-rounded attorney. When I had a disagreement with my prior employer, I sought out counsel from Mr. Vecchiarelli.
