Although the system is stacked against Californian workers, they do have significant rights enshrined in the law - but they need a steadfast attorney to achieve equitable outcomes. Spiegelman Law is here to do just that.. Spiegelman Law is located in Los Angeles, California. The firm represents clients throughout Southern California (and occasionally Northern California).

His goal in his practice has always been simple: to obtain stellar results for his clients, to compensate them for workplace injustices, and to do so in a way that maintains a connection between them and the firm, creating an attorney-client “justice team” along the way.. An activist from an early age, Mr. Todd has long used his talents to advocate for the oppressed. In 2009, he enrolled at UCLA School of Law, where he received specializations from the Critical Race Theory and Public Interest Law programs. Shortly after graduating, he struck out on his own and has since made a name for himself as a tireless advocate, unafraid to take on powerful defendants in order to get justice for his clients.. Mr. Todd has now represented hundreds of individuals, obtaining millions in verdicts and settlements for those who have suffered workplace injustices.

I was raised the youngest of seven kids, by two small business owners.  My parents' philosophy about their businesses was, "treat your employees well, and they will treat you and your business well."  That philosophy is definitely part of what motivates me as an employment lawyer.

I switched sides! For me more than 20 years, I practiced employment law on the defense side, representing employers. I worked at prestigious law firms with amazing lawyers and learned from the best. Yet I felt like I was living the movie Groundhog Day. I was doing the same thing over and over again, raising the same defenses for the same employers that either couldn’t (or wouldn’t) fix the problems that caused their employees to take legal action.. California employment laws can be complicated, and they change regularly. But that does not excuse non-compliance.. Here’s what employers need do, but often fail to spend the time, energy, or money to achieve:. • Pay women and people of color the same as white men for performing substantially similar work.. • Pay workers their full wages in a timely manner and with accurate itemized paystubs.. • Stop classifying workers as exempt (not overtime-eligible) when they spend most of their time performing the same duties as the employees they supervise, and/or earn less than $1,240 per week ($64,480 per year).. • Hold supervisors and employees accountable for discrimination and harassment, and create a safe environment for employees.. • Conduct effective investigations when employees raise issues of discrimination, harassment, and unfair pay, and don’t retaliate against employees who complain.. • Advise employees of their rights to take leaves of absence, and don’t retaliate against employees who seek or take leave.. • Look for effective accommodations for disabled employees, rather than just placing them on indefinite unpaid leave or firing them.. I’m done defending employers. I know the law; I know what makes employers tick; and I know what buttons to push to drive results. Now I want to use that for the employees’ advantage against employers that violate the law.. And my firm, Advantage Advocates, was born! If you need help with employer-related issues, please contact me, or pass this on to a friend in need.

I have practiced law for over 40 years, primarily in the civil courts and, for the past 23 years, specializing in representation of employers.. Professionally, my firm is dedicated to helping businesses develop strong workplace legal basics for sound growth. Our legal services include educational steps, effective counseling on positive resolution of disputes, and result-oriented litigation defense.. I am proud to count as my mentors some of the most skilled and accomplished litigators of their time. My earlier litigation experience was in securing constitutional freedoms and, indeed, the very survival of the churches of Scientology in the 1980s and 90s.. Along the way, I have also helped establish several non-religious social service groups now thriving and expanding to bring improved conditions in important sectors. This includes Narconon International, a leading drug rehabilitation organization, and Applied Scholastics International, fighting illiteracy worldwide.. Starting in 2005, I devoted a substantial amount of my time pro bono as Director for International Development, Youth for Human Rights International. Along with a dedicated group of young African community leaders, we created the African Human Rights Leadership Campaign, now in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Togo, and Ethiopia.. Since 2014, I have helped to create the African Literacy Project for Applied Scholastics International, to implement effective, competency-based education in Liberia and throughout West Africa.. Our Southern California office is in "Old Pasadena," overlooking the Tournament of Roses' annual parade route along Colorado Boulevard (the famous Route 66).. By consistent delivery of quality legal services, we continue to enjoy steady expansion regardless of any transitory or prevailing economic trends.. Tim Bowles. Pasadena, California. January, 2019
