The Firm

We are a small firm, with six attorneys and two assistants who help manage our practice. Our attorneys came together out of a commitment to civil rights, organized labor and the rights of working people.  We come from a variety of working class backgrounds. As former chambermaids, house painters, waitresses, health clinic employees, United Way staffers, lifeguards, legal secretaries and paralegals, we understand the working world. We have worked hard to get where we are today, and we respect and understand that our clients have worked hard to be where they are and deserve dignity and respect in the workplace.

We offer a variety of legal services. For unions, we offer representation before the California Public Employment Relations Board and legal services for individual members. We are proud and pleased to be California Teachers Association Group Legal Services Attorneys.  We have extensive Education Law experience and we practice in both the K-12 and Community College settings. For individual employees, we offer initial one hour consultations, and we use this time to assess your case and to determine what further steps we could take for you.

With our experience in employment law, and our employee-side focus, we are also ideally situated to perform neutral workplace investigations, and two of our partners are members of the California Association of Workplace Investigators and trained to perform investigations. We conduct neutral workplace investigations for employers who need an attorney to provide an outside, unbiased investigation, opinion, and written report.
