FAQs

No recovery, no fee. Our attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning that we get paid only if we obtain recovery from your former employer (verdict or a settlement). Our contingency rates are competitive in the industry for attorneys with similar reputation and experience. While there are some attorneys that charge less than our firm, they usually do not have the same level of experience or the track record of jury verdicts to validate their expertise.

Our attorneys are the best in their field and have substantial experience in employment law. We have obtained hundreds of millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements. The Managing Attorney, Tamara Freeze, has more than 20 years of experience as a litigator and a trial attorney. Her employment verdicts are normally in the 7-8 figure range. While there are many employment lawyers in California, very few of them have a solid track record of obtaining such outstanding results. Xinyue Liu, who is fluent in Chinese, has impressive expertise in complex employment cases, such as harassment and whistleblower cases initiated by doctors, attorneys, CFOs, CEOs, and company officers or directors.

Please call us at (949) 378-9794 to speak with an intake specialist. After the intake, an attorney will review and decide whether to take your case. After that, we will request additional information and supporting documents. Please do not take it personally if the firm cannot assist you with your case. While we would love to help everyone, the firm’s attorneys are extremely busy and only take a handful of cases per month.

In the early stages – hard to tell. If someone tries to give you an estimate of the case worth at the very beginning, beware. We have taken cases to trial and obtained multi-million dollar verdicts for clients who made minimum wage. We have obtained millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts for clients who found jobs quickly after their termination. After substantial litigation, depositions, and motion practice, we will have a discussion with you about your case’s strengths and weaknesses to prepare you for either the settlement negotiations or the jury trial. Right before the trial, we always conduct a mock jury focus group and ask them to evaluate your case, including your damages.

We only use AI in extremely limited circumstances, such as to assist us with research, and only as a starting point. All motions and legal documents are written by licensed attorneys and never by AI.
