ABOUT US

Our firm will litigate cases to the full extent including trial in order to seek the compensation our clients are entitled to in an effort to make them whole under the law.  We have taken the toughest cases to trial and prevailed including a Disability Discrimination/Wrongful Termination case against a large printing company – where the Jury awarded our client $5,288,784 in the first phase of trial. The case settled for a significant confidential sum before the jury determined the verdict on the punitive damages phase.  Another Disability Discrimination/Failure to Accommodate case was taken to trial against Lockheed Martin resulting in a seven figure verdict for our client followed by a significant seven figure confidential settlement before the punitive damages phase of trial.

Our firm is also extremely successful in negotiating significant settlements without going to trial.  Numerous seven and six figure settlements have been reached for our clients throughout the years on all types of workplace violation cases including a Sexual Harassment case against a restaurant chain which resulted in a $2 million dollar settlement; a pregnancy discrimination case against a well known retail establishment that settled for a substantial seven figure confidential settlement; a failure to pay proper overtime case and retaliation after protesting the unfair wages against a well known Hollywood director which resulted in a substantial confidential settlement; and numerous discrimination, harassment and retaliation cases against the City of Los Angeles which settled for substantial  sums.

We have also established case authority in employment law through a Court of Appeals decision in the case of Taylor v City of Los Angeles Department of Water & Power in which the Court of Appeals held that where a supervisor participated in an investigation as a witness to discrimination against his subordinate who was wrongfully terminated and was subsequently denied promotion and promotional opportunities, labeled as a “troublemaker”, denied training and denied transfer such conduct constitutes adverse employment action to establish retaliation and a causal link between the protected activity and the adverse action due to the close proximity in time between the two. The LA Times has also published articles on our high profile cases involving discrimination, harassment and retaliation .

You will however never hear this firm advertise  on a radio or television station for the masses at large as we believe in being selective with the clients we take on so we can provide all of our focus and energy on them in providing the best results. We take pride in the client having direct and close communication with our attorneys every step of the way.
