About Us
Employment and union attorney helping individual employees work in a productive, safe environment, as well as helping small businesses be compliant with the myriad of employment laws and remain competitive.
How We Got Started
I opened my office after being inhouse counsel to Hughes Aircraft (when it was huge aircraft with 80K+ employees) to bring a needed employment attorney into the South Bay. It has been satisfying to help so many locals.

I became involved with the practice of law by interviewing a lawyer for a college paper. At the end of the interview, he asked him if I ever thought about becoming a lawyer. Back in 1970, that was like asking me if I thought of flying to the moon. There were very few women in law at that time,...

I became involved with the practice of law by interviewing a lawyer for a college paper. At the end of the interview, he asked him if I ever thought about becoming a lawyer. Back in 1970, that was like asking me if I thought of flying to the moon. There were very few women in law at that time, and this gentleman encouraged me to apply to law school as he thought I would make a good lawyer, that his firm had just hired a woman from Yale, and he believed that more women would go in the practice. He was so right. This year Berkeley Law's new class is 60% women - who'da thought!

I think your ire is misdirected. Everyone paid more this year ... except the large corporations. Look at your Republican senators for answers.

It sounds like you know your customer base. In today's world there is a lot of anxiousness, anger, polarization, and dare I say it - not enough love. I remember going to Nordstrom's when it was in the Galleria after a hard Day's work because the service was so good. They just treated me nice....

I remember going to Nordstrom's when it was in the Galleria after a hard Day's work because the service was so good. They just treated me nice. And I needed someone to be nice to me. I worked at a bank where most of the customers were elderly,. When I was hired the manager told me that for many of the customers a visit to the place was their only trip for the day and that we were to make their experience a good one. I think customer service is underrated these days.
The questions depend on the type of job, but assuming the position carries some responsibility:

If the person looks me in the eye, has a smile and solid handshake. A good way to start a business meeting.

Unlike insurance, I cannot give any legal advice w/o setting up the attorney client relationship. I can give "practical" advice if I believe there is an effective self-help route. Not everyone needs a lawyer, but everyone who drives a car, owns property or a business, or leases property, sure does. So I agree, cost is "it depends." Your job is get as much info as possible regarding their needs. The ballpark range is the Cadillac to the Chevy.
In Dickens, the ghosts came in his dreams. There are plenty of people who can tell you that dead people have visited them in their dreams. Makes you wonder, huh?
