His nationwide practice has included cases brought on behalf of security guards, massage therapists, flight attendants, sales representatives, mortgage underwriters, and homecare providers. He practices throughout the country, litigating in any court or proceeding necessary to vindicate his clients’ rights. He has practiced in state and federal trial courts, appellate courts, and supreme courts, as well as in bankruptcy, private arbitration, and before the California Labor Commissioner.
