121 Starling Circle , Grass Valley , California 95945
Practice Areas: Wrongful Termination
About Frank Pray, Employment Attorney:. I've learned much over the 45 years of my career as a litigator. For the last 25-plus years, I've devoted exclusively to employment law, leveling the field for employees. I am a civil rights lawyer representing persons fired, laid off, or demoted because of race, sex, sexual orientation, sexual identity, religion, age, medical leave use, disability, national origin, and ethnicity. I also represent employees who "blow the whistle" at work and are fired or harassed for doing so. I also cover privacy and defamation issues arising out of employment. For currently employed workers, I review and advise regarding severance agreements, employment agreements, and "trade secret & confidentiality agreements," including those that wrongly restrict the right to compete and find re-employment. I also sue for unpaid wages, bonuses and commissions, and meal and rest break violations.. I graduated from the ABA-approved University of San Diego School of Law and was published in the school's Law Review. After law school, I completed a two-year Executive MBA program at the UCLA Anderson Graduate School of Management.. I am an active member of the Orange County Bar Association, Labor and Employment Law Section, and am a past Section Chairperson. I am also a California Labor and Employment Lawyers Association member, dedicated to employee rights. I belong to the Sacramento County and San Francisco County Bar Associations, Labor & Employment Law Sections.. I understand and appreciate the role of business in society. Every business should earn profits by playing according to the rules of law and basic decency. My passion is to be a top-level advocate for employees, fighting to get to the truth, despite the objections and obfuscations of the defense.

Practice Areas: Wrongful Termination
I started my firm in June 2015 because I love people and I wanted to work with people. There are a lot of lawyers who represent big corporations, but I wanted to represent good people for their righteous cases. That's why I represent employees against their employers and the victims of injuries in personal injury cases. My clients have been wronged, oppressed and their rights have somehow been violated. I work on a contingency-basis so my clients don't have to worry about paying me until the case is resolved and a settlement or a verdict has been reached. It's a huge honor for my team and I to represent our clients and achieve justice!. When I first started, I rented a very tiny office for myself. About six months in to my practice I hired my first legal assistant. The amount of clients I was representing began to increase so I moved into a bigger office and hired more staff. I now have talented and compassionate attorneys who work here along with hardworking and dedicated assistants and paralegals.
