His practice emphasizes strategic advocacy, detailed factual development, and aggressive litigation preparation designed to maximize leverage for clients facing unlawful workplace conduct.

Employment disputes often arise during some of the most difficult periods in a person’s career. Our role is to provide clear legal advice, carefully evaluate the evidence, and develop a strategy that advances each client’s individual objectives. While many cases can be resolved through negotiation or mediation, every matter is prepared with litigation in mind from the outset. That preparation often results in stronger settlements and positions our clients for success if litigation becomes necessary.
Whether representing an executive negotiating a separation agreement or an employee pursuing claims under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), the California Labor Code, or related statutes, we strive to provide practical, responsive, and thorough legal representation at every stage of the case.
Every employment case presents unique legal and factual issues. We begin by conducting a detailed review of the relevant documents, communications, personnel records, company policies, and witness information. We then evaluate the applicable California and federal law, potential damages, available defenses, and the most effective strategy for achieving our client’s goals.
Our representation may include:
Throughout the representation, we believe clients should understand not only what the law provides, but also how those legal principles apply to the specific facts of their case. We emphasize candid advice, realistic expectations, and regular communication.
California provides employees with some of the strongest workplace protections in the nation. These laws continue to evolve through legislative changes and appellate court decisions. Maintaining a practice devoted exclusively to employment law allows us to remain current on these developments and apply them strategically on behalf of our clients.
Our work regularly involves claims concerning:
