Firm: Brucker & Morra, A Professional Corporation
10880 Wilshire Boulevard Suite 2210 , Los Angeles , California 90024
Practice Areas: ERISA, Retirement Benefits, Tax Audits, Employee Benefits
Alex M. Brucker is the founding partner in the Pension and Employee Benefits law (ERISA) firm of Brucker & Morra. This exclusive ERISA law practice prevents/solves federal tax and fiduciary law problems involving pension and cash balance plans, ESOPs 401(k) and profit sharing plans, 403(b) plans health and welfare plans and deferred compensation (409A and 457 plans). Alex is an Expert Witness and acts as a co-litigation counsel for pension and benefits related cases.. Alex is a nationally recognized employee benefits/ERISA lawyer, speaker and author. His knowledge of the intricacies of the regulations and policies of the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Labor, results in exceptional insight, experience, credibility, authority—and creative solutions—for his clients.. He began his career in benefits law in 1974, the year the ERISA law was enacted. His legal career grew with the law — a claim few attorneys in his field can make. He has since grown to be a tireless advocate for tax equity, particularly for privately owned businesses and business owners, and has worked with Congress on pension and tax legislation.. Alex has appeared before the American Society of Pension Professionals and Actuaries, the National Institute of Pension Administrators, the California CPA Foundation for Education Conferences, the Annual Enrolled Actuaries Conference, the Western Pension and Benefits Conference, the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans, and the University of Southern California Federal Tax Institute speaking on such issues as ERISA fiduciary obligations, investing and liabilities, 401(k), pension and profit sharing plans, and IRS and Department of Labor controversies and compliance initiatives. Alex leads continuing education pension and employee benefits workshops for attorneys, plan administrators, trustees, accountants, and insurance and financial professionals.. Alex is a Fellow of the American College of Employee Benefit Counsel and a director of the Small Business Council of America, Washington, D.C. (SBCA), a National nonprofit organization representing the interests of privately held businesses. He is a former member of the Board of Directors of the American Society of Pension Professionals and Actuaries, and a current member of the Motion Picture and Television Tax Institute.. In 2009, Alex was honored with a Congressional Award for his outstanding leadership, dedication and achievement on behalf of the Small Business Council of America of Washington, D.C. In 2010, Alex legislated to obtain needed relief from disproportionate IRS penalties; the results of his efforts were enacted into the Small Business Jobs and Credit Act of 2010, for which he received the SBCA Special Appreciation Award. Each year he is awarded the Super Lawyer award by Super Lawyers Magazine.. Alex acts as co-counsel in employee benefits (ERISA) litigation and is often engaged as an expert witness on pension and employee benefits (ERISA) issues.. Alex’s goal is to find a solution to his client’s problem. He is well known for never taking “no” for an answer, and is notorious for inspiring dread among Internal Revenue Service auditors when CPAs and plan administrators declare, “If you don’t settle reasonably, we’ll call in Brucker!”

Many people who file for Social Security Disability benefits do not realize that it is a complex process and that it can take a long time before a decision is made or a hearing is held. Often, an applicant's initial request for benefits will be denied in the early stages, leaving the applicant in a very difficult position. People need to know what to do to keep their claim moving forward to receive a fair review as promptly as feasible. I can help!

I have been married for 28 years. We have seven children and two grandchildren. Life is good in the Larsen home!. I have been engaged in employment law for over 20 years now. However, I learned early on that I could provide a greater value to clients by helping them prevent lawsuits. I also learned that employers needed help with quality HR professionals.. In 2001 I started Sierra HR Partners, Inc., a separate but ancillary company to my law firm. Sierra HR is staffed with certified HR professionals who help my clients comply with the law. The HR professionals are trained to identify issues that could create legal complications. When that happens, I step in. It has been a great partnership among my law firm, Sierra HR and our clients. We can provide a better service at a good price, and make the workplace better for employees. Everyone wins.

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
