We specialize in representing
management in the defense of legal actions and enjoy the
reputation of a results-oriented, successful litigation firm. We
are experts in all phases of litigation in both Federal and State
courts: pleading, discovery, settlement, alternative dispute
resolution, trials, and appeals. While we take an aggressive
stance in litigation, we are mindful of our clients' interests in
resolving issues and reaching a successful conclusion in a cost
effective and ethically responsible manner.
Our particular expertise is the defense of actions brought by
employees, former employees, applicants, and other individuals
alleging employment related claims, such as violations of the
California Fair Employment and Housing Act; Federal Civil Rights
Acts; Age Discrimination in Employment Act; Fair Labor Standards
Act; Meyers-Milias-Brown Act; Family and Medical Care Leave Acts;
wrongful termination; and violation of State and/or Federal
Constitutional rights such as due process, First Amendment and
privacy rights.
The Firm's attorneys have handled a number of cases that have
culminated in jury trials resulting in defense verdicts.
The defense of writs of mandate under both California Code of
Civil Procedure Section 1085 and section 1094.5, as well as
declaratory relief and injunctive relief actions, are also a large
part of our litigation practice. We are also experts in appellate
work and have handled appeals in such areas as alleged police
liability, civil rights violations, labor relations and employment
discrimination.
