Mike gave me spot on advice that resulted in a quick and equitable settlement for me. He knows how to be helpful in a very caring way. In my opinion you will not find a better lawyer.
Mike is an excellent employment lawyer, skilled and respectful of his clients. He is always well prepared, experienced and efficient at representing his clients, responsive, and skilled at getting to the truth. I would recommend Mike for his experience and professional skill as an attorney, his ability to work strategically, and for his sincere caring and respect for helping his clients. Mike successfully represented my case. I offer him my highest recommendation and appreciation for doing so.
Originally from Southern California, I earned my law degree from Whittier Law School after obtaining my BA from San Diego State University. With experience representing both individual plaintiffs and corporate defendants, I found myself gravitating towards representing plaintiffs. Most recently, I worked at a small employment law office for almost 10 years as the senior litigation attorney. I’ve represented employees against both private employers and public entities, bringing cases against Fortune 500 companies, the Regents of the University of California, and the State of California. I’ve handled class actions, representative actions under California’s Private Attorney General Act, and litigated in State Court, Federal Court, and private arbitration. I have a California law license, and am admitted to the Northern, Eastern and Central District Federal Courts of the Ninth Circuit, as well as the United States Supreme Court. In 2019, I opened my own office focusing my practice on representing individual plaintiffs in the areas of employment law and personal injury.

Highly recommend attorney Michael Ahmad
I had a job as a manager that was not paying me overtime when they were required to do so by law. They were also not paying for a second lunch break on the days (many!) that I worked more than 12 hours. After leaving the company I decided I wanted to pursue those issues but wasn't entire sure how to go about it. I began working with Michael Ahmad at the Law Firm of Mary-Alice Coleman in Davis, CA. Michael clearly explained my options and in the end forced my former company to pay me what they owed. It's never fun to 'butt heads' with your former company and former supervisors, but Michael walked me through everything and kept me in the loop. I recommend the law office of Mary-Alice Coleman and, in particular, attorney Michael Ahmad.
