Giovanni H. Falcon is the managing attorney of the pre-litigation department at Sepulveda Sanchez Law and was previously a litigation attorney at Vistas Law Group, LLP where he litigated various civil litigation matters for years. While the majority of Mr. Falcon’s career has been in civil litigation, Mr. Falcon finds that this extensive experience makes him a complete attorney in either settling pre-litigation personal injury cases or priming his cases in anticipation for litigation. As a well-tempered, but aggressive litigator working in pre-litigation, Mr. Falcon has settled millions of dollars’ worth of personal injury cases and is very passionate about helping those injured in accidents.. Mr. Falcon obtained his undergraduate degree from the Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles and earned his law degree from Western State College of Law in Irvine.

In addition, Mr. Falcon received the recognition of Dean’s Fellow, was a member of the national honor society of criminal justice: Alpha Phi Sigma and was awarded with the Witkin Award for Federal Income Taxation. Mr. Falcon would capsulate his law school career by clerking for the Honorable Judge Deidre Hill at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse, and later, would extern at Western State’s Immigration clinic where Mr. Falcon won his first case, an asylum case that ended with his client obtaining residency in the United States.. After law school, Giovanni has worked directly with families to resolve their estate planning issues. Giovanni has experience in practicing in all three stages of estate planning which are: (1) drafting, (2) administration, and (3) litigation. Giovanni was originally inspired to practice estate planning to assist first-time home buyers and minorities achieve generational wealth. Giovanni wants to disprove the stigma that to help minorities with their legal affairs, one must work in either immigration or criminal defense. However, after working as a tax preparer for over a decade, Giovanni has realized that his skillset can be best utilized by helping families preserve their assets and be able to pass them down for the generation to come. Mr. Falcon truly believes that the only thing that separates ordinary families and ultra-high-net worth families from Beverly Hills is access to information. After careful planning and zealous representation, Giovanni hopes to help his client achieve generational wealth for their families.. Currently, Mr. Falcon is also on the Judicial Endorsement Committee for the Mexican American Bar Association of Los Angeles where he evaluates the qualifications and judicial temperament of appointment candidates seeking endorsement and support.

Ohn and his co-counsel were appointed as Class Counsel in a consumer class action on behalf of over 80,000 consumers across the United States of America and obtained final approval of a national class settlement with a total economic value of over $2 Million and injunctive relief.  In this regard, the California Superior Court Judge presiding over this complex class action litigation noted that Mr. Ohn displayed a high level of skill in presenting complicated and difficult legal issues and that his efforts in this action and the results obtained provided great value in the public interest.. When a union member's medical records were mailed, during a union election campaign, to thousands of his coworkers by a union employee in violation of his civil rights, including under the Americans With Disabilities Act, he turned to Mr. Ohn to seek justice on his behalf. Utilizing cutting edge, aggressive and efficient litigation strategies for the union member plaintiff, Mr. Ohn defeated the union employee defendant's Anti-SLAPP motion after obtaining leave of Court to take her deposition, obtain documents and subpoena third party records; exhausted the union member's administrative remedies on his claims against the defendant union entities; and ultimately obtained a tremendous settlement at a very early stage of litigation for the union member plaintiff that included a substantial monetary recovery and injunctive relief. Trials Digest called this a "notable" settlement and featured it on the cover of the June 25, 2012 issue.. When a wheelchair bound individual applied in person to rent an apartment in Los Angeles, the apartment manager repeatedly informed him that he did not meet the financial requirements to be able to rent an apartment there. Then, after the disabled individual would submit documentation indicating that he met the qualifications reflected in the rental application and the apartment’s written policies, the apartment manager would change the qualifications or add new requirements in a blatant effort to prevent the handicapped individual from renting an apartment. The disabled plaintiff came to Mr. Ohn to fight for his rights. Mr. Ohn filed a housing discrimination lawsuit for violation of the federal Fair Housing Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the Unruh Civil Rights Act, and the Disabled Persons Act. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Ohn obtained a strong settlement on behalf of the handicapped plaintiff that included a monetary recovery and an agreement that the property owner and apartment management company defendants would change their policies and procedures and provide training to their employees regarding applicable housing discrimination and disability rights laws.. A California based company and its officers were sued by a former business partner and officer seeking hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensatory damages for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, and violation of California's Unfair Competition law. With the trial in this California civil action scheduled to begin in less than two months, the company and its officer retained Mr. Ohn as trial counsel. Using aggressive and effective motion and deposition practice, Mr. Ohn obtained a highly favorable settlement for its clients of essentially one thousand dollars on the eve of trial.. When a California corporation and its Chief Executive Officer were sued by a much larger competitor under, among other things, California's unfair competition laws seeking monetary compensation, injunctive relief and punitive damages, they turned to Mr. Ohn. After taking just one deposition and utilizing aggressive and effective motion practice in this California civil action, the Law Offices of Gerald S. Ohn successfully obtained complete summary judgment in favor of its clients.
