I represent people in workers' compensation, personal injury, and Social Security Disabilty claims.  Very often these three areas of law overlap (example: a person is severely injured at work by a third party and cannot return to employment).  By becoming knowledgeable and experienced in all three areas of law, I can offer my clients the convenience of having one attorney handle all of their legal needs, rather than three separate attorneys.. I was born in Boston and grew up in Massachusetts.  I attended college at Brandeis University, double majoring and graduating with departmental honors.  I then attended Tulane University School of Law where I was the managing editor for the Tulane Environmental Law Journal and an honors graduate of the trial advocacy program.. I then moved to northern California, where I have lived and practiced law since 1992.  I have been in practice for myself for twenty-five years, but I work closely with several other experienced and exceptional trial attorneys.  I handle every case and communicate with every client personally.  I am committed to helping every client understand their rights and options, so that my clients can make the best choices for themselves and their families.. I am married and have two children. I have a dog, Archie, who comes to work with me on most days.  I enjoy following professional baseball, listening to jazz and blues, and building furniture.

I graduated from the University of Wisconsin, Madison in 1973 and the University of California, Hastings College of the Law in 1978.  Previously to helping found Bogatin, Corman & Gold in 1994, I was staff counselto the National Treasury Employees Union and subsequently staff counsel to theCalifornia School Employees Association.  In 1992, I was honored as CSEA’s Employee of the Year for my representation ofpublic sector employee plaintiffs in litigation affecting the pension rights ofCalifornia public employees.  My current practice emphasizes the representation of individuals in all forms of employment and discrimination related matters.  I also work with non-profit and small business organizations in formulating personnel policies and handbooks.  I formerly served as a judicial arbitrator forthe Alameda County Superior Court and currently work as an advisor andhearing officer in California merit system school district employeedisciplinary cases.  In 1996, Iwas the legal advisor and editorial consultant for the publication California Assembly of Local Arts AgenciesPersonnel Handbook for CaliforniaNonprofits.  In 2010, I co-authoredthe publication California Employment LawIssues in a Down Economy.  (Aspatore Publications.)  That writing is now included in California Employment Issues in an Economic Downturn, (West Publications Group).  My interests include non-fiction reading and analysis, music and baseball.

I exclusively represent workers and tenants who are wrongfully terminated, harassed, retaliated against, or otherwise treated differently because of their sex, race, ethnicity, disability, pregnancy, maternity/paternity, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, or military/veteran status. In recent years, I have obtained the following judgments or settlements for my clients: $2,950,000 in a wrongful termination case, $825,000 in a racial harassment and discrimination case, $800,000 in a sexual harassment and retaliation case, $650,000 in a disability discrimination and retaliation case, $450,000 in a sexual harassment and retaliation case, $432,000 in an age harassment and discrimination case.
