Before founding the firm, he served as a Deputy District Attorney for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, Hardcore Gang Prosecution Division, where he had over thirty jury trials (including numerous murder trials).  For nearly two decades, Mr. Bradley has applied his law enforcement background with marked effectiveness to civil litigation, representing private security and business industries, both in the courts and in administrative proceedings..

Westec Residential Security, Inc. (2000) 85 Cal. App. 4th 125, the California Court of Appeal held that an alleged rape committed by a uniformed security officer while on duty is outside of the course and scope of employment, thus shielding the corporation from respondent superior liability. Similarly, in Borg-Warner Protective Services Corporation dba Wells Fargo Guard Services v. Superior Court (1999) 75 1203, the California Court of Appeal ruled that the state's Private Security Services Act section addressing a security company's obligations still allow the company to assert the defense that it is not liable for its employees' actions committed outside the course and scope employment..
