 About Frank Pray, Employment Attorney:  

I've learned much over the 45 years of my career as a litigator.  For the last 25-plus years, I've devoted exclusively to employment law, leveling the field for employees.  I am a civil rights lawyer representing persons fired, laid off, or demoted because of race, sex, sexual orientation, sexual identity, religion, age, medical leave use, disability, national origin, and ethnicity.  I also represent employees who "blow the whistle" at work and are fired or harassed for doing so.  I also cover privacy and defamation issues arising out of employment.  For currently employed workers, I review and advise regarding severance agreements, employment agreements, and "trade secret & confidentiality agreements," including those that wrongly restrict the right to compete and find re-employment.  I also sue for unpaid wages, bonuses and commissions, and meal and rest break violations.

I graduated from the ABA-approved University of San Diego School of Law and was published in the school's Law Review.  After law school, I completed a two-year Executive MBA program at the UCLA Anderson Graduate School of Management.  

I am an active member of the Orange County Bar Association, Labor and Employment Law Section, and am a past Section Chairperson.  I am also a California Labor and Employment Lawyers Association member, dedicated to employee rights.  I belong to the Sacramento County and San Francisco County Bar Associations, Labor & Employment Law Sections.

I understand and appreciate the role of business in society.  Every business should earn profits by playing according to the rules of law and basic decency.  My passion is to be a top-level advocate for employees, fighting to get to the truth, despite the objections and obfuscations of the defense.
