Top best L Lawyers in ZIP 94607 | 471 available

I have been representing employees in their workplace disputes for more than thirty years. Although I have represented hundreds of workers, I still find it immensely satisfying to help individuals understand their rights in the workplace and to seek justice for those who have been treated illegally by their employers. Whether I am litigating a case on behalf of a janitor who has been sexually assaulted at work, negotiating a settlement for an employee who has been subjected to discrimination, or assisting an executive in negotiating a new employment agreement, I bring a wealth of experience, a practical approach and a sense of deep compassion for my clients to all of my work.

I am a certified family law specialist and I will dedicate myself to your case.  I am a solo firm, which means I can give your case the attention it needs. I try to settle cases, if possible, but I realize that not all cases can settle. I will thoroughly prepare your case for court. I will work with you regarding expectations and responsibilities as we move forward in your family law matter.  Please contact me today so we can work toward resolving your matter.
