I am an employment law attorney who represents employees in disputes with their current or former employers. Our firm specializes in the representation of employees in high tech, biotech, and other sophisticated industries, and focuses on cases alleging harassment and discrimination (based on sex, race, national origin, religion, disability, and sexual orientation), "whistleblower" cases involving employees who complain about illegal conduct by their employers, retaliation cases, and unpaid wages.
We are one of the few employee-side firms with lawyers who have worked at large law firms that represent employers. That experience gives us invaluable and unusual insight into the manner in which employers' attorneys investigate, defend, and value cases for resolution.
We are highly selective regarding the clients we choose to represent because we pride ourselves on investigating and preparing each case thoroughly. Each case gets continuous, personal attention from each member of our trial team. We do not farm out our clients' cases to other lawyers. Our clients get the full benefit of the firm's resources and expertise. We use cutting edge e-discovery and trial presentation technology in our practice, including Nextpoint, CaseMap, and Sanction II, which are software solutions used by many of the largest corporations in the world.
Our clients have our cell phone numbers and know that they can contact us on an emergency basis when they require immediate legal assistance. We take very seriously our duty of loyalty to our clients, and our clients know that this is not mere lip service from us. When our clients need us, we are there.
If you believe that you have a case that would benefit from our expertise, we encourage you to contact us for an immediate, free consultation to discuss your legal rights and options.

Scott Bonagofsky literally gave me my life back. I was discriminated and denied a job on the basis of an approved family leave taken in the past with another employer. From the moment I met Mr. Bonagofsky and he agreed to take my case, I knew that the stars were working for me. Mr. Bonagofsky won ...

Scott was honest, straightforward and professional from day 1 until the very end. Not only did he help me put together a great case, he also advised me along the way to make sure I didn't leave myself open at any point. He even worked with me to ensure that I paid a fair price and knew all the cost...

Mr. Bonagofsky took my case in May 2008. My company did not pay me for overtime, missed breaks and lunches. It is now Feb. 2009, and the case is settled. Wow. He was recommended to me because of his diligence, hard work, and commitment to settle a case. Even though he is in San Francisco, and I am i...

Mr Bonagofsky handled my case with the upmost care and attention. I was impressed how informed he was with all aspects of my past employer and how thorough he was with his questions of both myself and the defense. I would highly recommend him for anyone needing an attorney.
"Mr. Bonagofsky is creative, relentless, and the epitome of an attorney who will fight for his clients like they are his own family. I highly recommend Mr. Bonagofsky as an experienced trial lawyer in California."
"Scott and I are on the Technology Committee of California Employment Lawyers Association. I have observed Scott at numerous meetings and giving several well-received presentations to membership. In my opinion, Scott is sharp, capable, tenacious, and a real leader. That makes him a highly effective lawyer and I have no hesitation in endorsing him."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Scott is an amazing attorney. He is very smart and takes his work, and professional ethics, seriously. He takes no short cuts. He is also a very nice guy and pleasant to be around."
