Firm Overview
Firm Overview: Year Established 1986
I have extensive litigation experience in the Los Angeles Superior
Court and I have argued, researched and written briefs in the United
States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit, the California Court of Appeal,
Second District, and the California Supreme Court. I have experience
in viewing and analyzing issues from the perspectives of both employer
and employee. I can provide the following potential benefits to you.
- I can provide an objective assessment of your case. This promotes
early, cost-effective resolution of litigation disputes and it
forms a rational basis for deciding whether to initiate and/or
continue litigation.
- I can view both sides of a legal issue. This is useful in anticipating,
and countering, the litigation strategies of the opposition.
- I can litigate your case in all aspects of trial and, if necessary,
during appeal.
- I can research and write appellate briefs and petitions for
review.
- Given my appellate experience, I can anticipate many of the
potential consequences of various trial strategies; and
- I can conduct unbiased, objective investigations on behalf
of employers who receive complaints of unlawful discrimination
or harassment. Government Code, Section 12940(h)(1). Kolstad v.
American Dental Association (1999) 119 S.Ct. 2118. See also Cotran
v. Rollins Hudig Hall International (1998) 17 Cal.4th 93, which
requires California employers, under certain circumstances, to
conduct full and fair investigations prior to terminating employees.
- I am accessible to established clients via voice mail and/or
e-mail and I attempt to be personally responsive to their legal
needs.
- My office uses computer-assisted research and court reporting
software to generate timely litigation reports upon request by
clients.
