Top best E Lawyers in Berkeley | 419 available

I split my time among domestic relations, personal injury, and general civil litigation matters. I tirelessly advocate for my clients so they receive the results they deserve. Regardless of my years in practice, I can never believe two cases are the same. I will work closely with you to understand your situation and achieve a result that is in your best interests.. I am also an active member in my legal community. I regularly volunteer at my alma mater, George Mason University School of Law (now the Antonin Scalia Law School), as a judge for various intramural competitions. Prior to joining Carluzzo Rochkind & Smith, I was an associate at a general practice firm in Vienna, Virginia and then a law clerk for The Honorable Rossie D. Alston, Jr. of the Court of Appeals of Virginia.. As an undergraduate at American University, I majored in Psychology and pursued minors in Mathematics, Film Studies, and Writing.

I represent employees who have lost their jobs for unlawful reasons or were forced to quit because of harassment or unsafe working conditions. My practice area is employment law, including all types of wrongful termination, discrimination and harassment, retaliation, and wage and hour violations.. I began my career as a field chemist, working for a small hazardous waste disposal consulting firm in the San Francisco Bay Area. As I traveled all over California overseeing the packaging and shipment of hazardous waste, I witnessed many workers exposed daily to chemicals and other hazards with little to no controls. This inspired me to focus my career on worker safety and health, and work to protect everyone's right to a safe workplace.. Over time, I served as a lay or expert witness in cases involving employee or public exposure to hazardous chemicals, asbestos, or mold. In every case, I remarked how helpful it could be if the attorneys understood more about the core concepts of industrial safety and hygiene. I thought California workers might benefit from an attorney who understands the rules of safety and health on a practitioner level. So I set out to become that professional.. Later, as my legal career gained momentum, I decided that protecting workers from harm goes far beyond worker safety and health. It also involves protecting people from workplace discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wage theft, and labor code violations. And it involves taking action whenever a fired employee could potentially have been the victim of a workplace injury, or suffered an illness or disability based on chemical exposure or other hazards in the workplace.. And that's where I found my true calling – which is to protect the legal rights of employees and to fight for compensation when those rights are violated.

I represent clients from all walks of life, from individuals involved in business disputes to employees with wage and hour claims. If you are looking for employment or business counseling, need to resolve a dispute, or have been served with a lawsuit, find out how I can help.

I have served as class counsel in numerous class actions in the employment discrimination and employee benefits fields, including cases brought on behalf of employees and job applicants in cases alleging employment discrimination based on race, nationality, and gender; pension plan participants and beneficiaries arising from imprudent investment of plan assets; and employees who have suffered vacation pay forfeitures in vacation benefit plans sponsored by Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Association (VEBA) trusts.

I have practiced immigration law for my entire professional career, first with a refugee organization and then in private practice.  I continue to collaborate with and mentor to various non-profit organizations, criminal attorneys, etc., in order to provide people with the most comprehensive representation available.

I have 25 years experience in workers compensation. I am a published author and have written in various bar publications and presented at numerous seminars. I also do Social Security Disability appeals. I try to relate to my clients and their needs in a positive way and work out disputes with insurance carriers that are reasonable and fair. My goal is to achieve good results for my clients and minimalize the stress of litigiation as much as possible.

I have specialized in First Amendment and anti-SLAPP issues since 1993, and have written and lectured widely on the California anti-SLAPP law.  My anti-SLAPP expertise has been recognized in four appellate opinions.  I am a 1972 graduate of Harvard Law School and a member of the California Bar.  I have prevailed in many SLAPP cases, including seven resulting in published appellate opinions, including the first such opinion by the California Supreme Court.. I am also President of the Board of Directors of the Public Participation Project, which is leading the campaign for federal anti-SLAPP legislation.

I enjoy helping my clients resolve their legal problems.  I look for complex cases that challenge my knowledge and skills.  I love dancing and sailing and recently am traveling as a means of relaxation.

I am dedicated to helping clients get the legal representation they require. I served as the director of the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program in Oklahoma, where I provided lower-income clients with personal and professional tax preparation at no cost. It's this work that spurred me to join the Modest Means Incubator Program with California Lawyer's for the Arts and open my own firm. I want to help artists and innovators–like you–obtain intellectual property protection for their ideas and works.. During law school I worked with a patent prosecution firm and a large university technology transfer office, where I gained experience in patent prosecution and licensing. I have extensive knowledge about patent law and prosecution, and received the highest marks in Patent Law. It's this knowledge that I will put to use to help you get a patent on your idea.

Before I was an attorney, I spent approximately 10 years in the restaurant industry.  I also started and ran a painting contracting company during college.  Even in those non-legal positions, I found myself advocating for others who did not have much of a voice.  Often these were low-level employees whose employers took advantage of them because they were young, female, immigrants, or did not speak fluent English.. Since graduating from law school in 1998, I have worked on a wide variety of cases, and for an even wider variety of people and businesses.  Since starting my own firm in 2000, I have represented only small businesses and individuals--typically against wealthy individuals and powerful corporations.  Although these defendants generally can afford the most expensive law firms, I have found that I can obtain justice for my clients through persistent and creative litigation.. Thank you for reviewing my profile.  If you would like to speak about a potential legal matter, please feel free to call me or send me an email.. - Anthony
