Whether the particular matter on which I am working involves a trial, an appeal, or a transaction, I believe that the best way to provide valuable and effective representation to my clients is to (1) assist the client in identifying the objective or objectives to be accomplished, and (2) always maintain focus on those objectives. The client's objectives are paramount, and define success in the matter.  And, the success that I am able to achieve is always the result of care, attention to detail, creativity, and experience.

John McClendon’s practice focuses on the land use entitlement process with an emphasis on CEQA/NEPA and other environmental laws, the Coastal Act, Planning & Zoning Law, Subdivision Map Act, affordable housing and water law. An experienced litigator, he has brought and defended scores of environmental, land use, housing and water law actions, including many successes before California’s appellate courts.. On "offense," Mr. McClendon has represented numerous citizens groups in challenging controversial public and private development projects at the administrative stage before city and county decision-makers.  In representing these groups in subsequent court actions, he has achieved an impressive track record of success.. On "defense," he has assisted cities, redevelopment agencies, special districts and private developers in the preparation of legally defensible CEQA/NEPA/PZL/SMA documents and findings, advising them on effective pre-litigation strategies and defending them in court.  To date, all of the documents and findings he prepared for public agencies have survived judicial challenge.. On the private sector side, since 2000, Mr. McClendon has represented private clients in negotiating and structuring numerous disposition and development agreements and owner participation agreements between his clients and California cities and redevelopment agencies for development projects valued in excess of $300 Million.  He also represents private clients in court defending their projects from judicial challenge.. On the public side, he has been responsible for overseeing the successful approval of numerous redevelopment plan adoptions, plan amendments, and project area mergers, including a record seven in a single year.  Some of his more notable redevelopment projects include: Anaheim Plaza, Century 25 Theaters in Orange, Ontario Mills, the Ontario Auto Center and Ontario Convention Center, Jurupa Valley Spectrum, and the El Paseo Shopping Center in South Gate.. With the Legislature's recent abolishment of all California redevelopment agencies, he continues to serve as general counsel to six of California's seven Designated Local Authorities (i.e., these are successor redevelopment agencies that were abandoned by their cities).  His focus on public law has also led to him accept short-term and often high-profile assignments as either interim or special counsel to public agencies. Examples include:. In 2006, he agreed to serve as the U.S. Attorney’s expert witness on California redevelopment law in a criminal action involving political corruption in the City of South Gate.

I'm passionate about helping people understand and exercise their rights. I enjoy my work because it lets me make a difference in people's lives, at a juncture when they often feel stressed, scared, angry, or confused. Law is a tool, which I'm happy to utilize for the primary goal of providing my clients a measure of peace and justice.. Before I attended Columbia Law School, I worked in other professions, including aerospace and marketing. As a lawyer, I've practiced in specialty areas other than employment. I've also defended companies and served as outside in-house counsel before coming to the plaintiffs' bar. My varied experience provides me insight into what "the other guy" might be thinking -- not just defense lawyers, but laypeople, expert witnesses, and other individuals whose paths cross with my client. Understanding people makes me a better negotiator and lawyer.. My caseload runs the gamut of employment law: harassment, discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination, breach of contract, and wage and hour. The cases nearest to my heart are sexual harassment and pregnancy cases; it takes so much courage to be a plaintiff in those kinds of matters. My work is 100% plaintiff-oriented.. I'm fortunate to be in the professional position where I'm able to carefully select my cases. I take cases I believe in. For cases where I don't see a good fit, I'm happy to refer potential clients to other lawyers -- there's a lid for every pot.. I'm proud of the fact that a high percentage of my caseload comes from referrals of past clients. In fact, I think that's the ideal outcome of a negative employment situation: for a wronged employee to find a great advocate who achieves a positive result, such that one would recommend the same path to others.. Legal rights don't exist in a vacuum. They live and breathe and change, as people interpret and apply the law. It's a pleasure to proactively define and underscore those rights. After all, most of us are employees or have been at one point!
