Employment Law
We handle employment disputes principally on behalf of employers, and, where a matter warrants it, on behalf of employees bringing claims of their own. That work spans individual cases and class actions, in both state and federal court in California.
Employers and employees both look to us to resolve their claims, and to try the ones that cannot be resolved. Having represented each side, we tend to read a case much as the other side will.
On the employer side, we defend claims of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation, wrongful termination, and wage-and-hour exposure, in individual suits, class and representative actions, and proceedings before the agencies that enforce these laws. We have tried employment matters, including class actions, and we prepare each case on that footing, which is frequently what allows it to resolve on sensible terms short of trial.
We also bring claims for employees who have been wronged at work, and the perspective earned from years of defending such claims informs how we press them. Whichever side of a matter we are on, we are candid from the outset about its strengths and its exposure, and the attorney who first evaluates a case is the one who carries it through.
The firm is located in Grass Valley and appears in employment matters in Nevada County and elsewhere, in courts throughout California.
