Growing up in the Midwest, I learned the value of hardwork, integrity and what it means to be the underdog. Now, after 25 years as a litigator, I still love to level the playing field by effectively telling the story of everyday working people.
After a number of years defending corporate clients in “Big Law,” HLF was started to focus on representing employees who deserve a fighting chance against those corporate employers and their high-priced defense firms.
We exclusively represent employees in their claims for wrongful termination, discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation, whistleblower retaliation, unpaid wages, and other California employment law violations. Our mission – saving careers and professional reputations.
