California Employment, Business & Personal Injury Law Practice Areas​ 

We represent employees, employers, businesses, and individuals throughout California in employment disputes, wrongful termination cases, serious personal injury matters, and related civil litigation.
Our approach is practical and individualized. Some legal problems require aggressive litigation . Others are better resolved through negotiation, careful advice before a dispute escalates, or a focused consultation that helps a client understand the available options before making an important decision.

Because we represent both employees and employers in employment matters, we regularly evaluate disputes from both sides (this also applies to injury cases and business disputes). This experience can be particularly valuable in identifying the evidence that matters, anticipating opposing arguments, and assessing the practical strengths and weaknesses of a case.
