Practice Areas: Corporate , ERISA, Labor , Employment & Labor, Employment & Labor
California is a crazy place to do business. Its myriad labor and employment laws contribute substantially to that chaos.  As a business owner or executive, you need sound, reliable and accurate legal advice that will keep your company out of court, and keep your employees and managers focused on your business, not wasting time interacting with more lawyers.. Don't allow your business to become a victim of the predatory plaintiffs' bar. Make sure your business complies with wage and hour regulations, anti-harassment/anti-discrimination training requirements and documentation and reporting obligations.  Call me and let me help you navigate the legal minefield that is the California business environment.. If you or your company have been sued, no one will defend your company more aggressively than I will.  We work with many major insurers who underwrite Employment Practices Liability Insurance ("EPLI") policies.  Call me, set up a meeting, and I am sure you will want me in your corner fighting for you every round.. Best,. Dan

Daniel Forouzan

Firm: Forouzan Law
2029 Century Park East , Los Angeles , California 90067
Practice Areas: Employment & Labor
I became an attorney because it's personal.. My family's journey to America was arduous and filled with atrocities. They were forced to leave their homes due to religious persecution and some even had to escape through underground networks. Unfortunately, one member was abducted by the government and executed. When I was younger, my parents would tell me these stories. I could not understand why people would be so cruel or why other parts of the world would allow people to get away with it. That is what lit the fire in me.. Hiring a lawyer is a difficult decision. I don't receive the phone calls when things are going well; I get them when my clients' lives have fallen apart. That is why I do what I do. I want to be your sword and your shield, the person who reverses the wrong and helps people make things right. Most of all, I want you to be confident that I will always be there and fight alongside you in your time of need.. - Daniel Forouzan, Esq.
