About Judith
 

For decades, I've represented California employees who've been wronged at work — wrongfully terminated, denied accommodations, retaliated against for speaking up. I know how disorienting it can feel to realize the workplace you trusted has turned against you. My job is to make the legal path forward clear, and to fight for the outcome you deserve. I built my practice on plaintiff-side employment law because I believe people deserve real representation against employers who often have far more resources — and far less accountability — than they should. Every case gets the same thing from me: careful strategy, direct communication, and the judgment that comes from having seen how these cases actually play out, not just how the law reads on paper.​

What I Handle

  • Wrongful termination and retaliation

  • Discrimination and harassment (FEHA, CFRA, ADA)

  • Whistleblower retaliation

  • Fraud in hiring

  • Severance and settlement negotiations

  • Legal strategy consultation

What to Expect

Employment law changes constantly — new statutes, new case law, new interpretations from the courts. Part of what you're paying for is someone who stays ahead of the changes, so your case is built on the law as it stands today, not as it stood five years ago. When we talk, I'll tell you plainly what I think your case is worth and where the risks are. No inflated promises, no legal jargon you have to decode on your own. If you're dealing with a workplace situation that doesn't feel right, let's talk about what happened and what your options are.

"Judith represented me in a 10-week trial that resulted in a jury verdict in my favor! Not only did she do an excellent job in representing me during trial; she represented and supported me for the years it took pre trial. She is passionate, strong, and professional."
          

"She is not your typical attorney. I felt as if I were talking with a family member about what was going on, but a family member that could do something about the wrongdoings my employer was allowing to happen. If I had to choose choice words to describe Judith...compassionate, loyal, wise, trustworthy, reliable, honest and straightforward."

        

"I can’t recommend Judith enough. She makes incredible things happen, even in situations that seem impossible. She’s fierce, brilliant, and kind -- and an extremely savvy strategist and absolute expert. She’s also deeply humane and cares about her clients as people. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her advocacy, support, and expertise. I’m incredibly grateful to have found her."

"Judith is amazing...She is brilliant, knowledgeable, honest and informative."

"From the beginning, Judith shared my outrage at the events leading to my wrongful termination and felt that my case should be public. One of the principal turning points of my case was when she helped me relate my story to a local reporter who published an article about my experiences. The release of this article ultimately led to my reinstatement. Although my main goal was always just to get my job back, Judith encouraged me and helped me to pursue a financial settlement as well. In this regard, Judith completely exceeded any and all expectations I had from an attorney. She not only helped return my life to normalcy, but she truly sought justice on all fronts for the wrong I had experienced."
