What our clients say

Steve Kimball fully explained to me the process to where I understood what to expect and there were no surprises. Very professionally executed. Steve, it was fortunate for me when I located you and your law firm. Your services provided the remedy I was in search of. It was an extreme pleasure to have you represent me.

Philip C.

Heidi is extremely articulate. She argued every point with case history, facts and pure documented truth. Heidi really does her homework. I am a perfectionist, so I more than appreciated all of the detailed effort. Heidi did more than her job. I would recommend Heidi and use your services again in a heart beat.

Everything went along smoothly without too many difficulties. Straight forward conversations with Don. Don – Thank you for all the help. I trusted you to lead me in the right direction, and I am pleased with the results.

I felt that everyone did an outstanding job. Larry kept me informed at every point along the way. I am completely satisfied that everyone did what they can to resolve this issue with the best outcome.

Client Review

No one but Nicole Nguyen could have handled my case with such passion, care and concern. From the minute I met her, I knew I was in great hands and that she would fight for me. Her depth of knowledge in employment law was not only impressive, but she gave me a sense of peace.

A. Thomas

Civil rights are at the core of who we are. We deliberately champion employee rights to secure justice for our clients, educate workers about wrongful workplaces, and set a standard in the community for a better society. In short, we believe that everyone benefits when an employee holds an employer accountable. And we help employees do just that.

We are leaders and pioneers in employment law. Founding partner Don Sessions started only representing employees in the 1980s, decades before other Orange County attorneys did so. From discrimination to harassment to unpaid wages and more, there’s not a single type of employment case that we can’t handle for you.

Our attorneys have taught ten different law school and university courses as well as authored around 1,000 published newspaper and magazine articles. We always consider your best interest when we take your case. And we give our all to get you the best possible result. If we can’t reach a settlement with your past employer that is acceptable to you, we’re never afraid to go to trial. When that happens, we have the experience and resources to do things the right way.

Common Types Of Cases We Handle

We handle all types of employment law cases for employees, but the following are some of the most common:

Wrongful Termination
Workplace Discrimination
Sexual Harassment
Unpaid Overtime
Retaliation
Unpaid Wages
Leaves of Absence
Whistleblower Cases
