Experience matters
We've represented thousands of California employees.
We are passionate about employment law. Our responsibility is to protect the rights of our clients – and Californians in general – in the workplace. We understand the challenges employees face when it comes to dealing with employment-related issues like discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, and wage and hour violations. We also understand how difficult it is to know exactly what your rights are and how to respond when they’ve been violated.
We help you navigate these challenges successfully. In addition to litigating our cases in arbitration or in the courtroom, our firm has an active appellate practice. We have argued cases in both state and federal courts of appeal, including the United States Supreme Court. We have the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to handle even the most complex employment cases and can argue your case through appeal if necessary. Learn more about our practice

ensuring equal access to justice
We don't collect fees unless we recover on your behalf.
We are relentlessly dedicated to achieving justice on behalf of our clients. The relationship between employer and employee often involves imbalances in power, resources, and knowledge. As your advocate, we help address those imbalances. We believe no one should be denied justice due to a lack of resources, financial or otherwise. That’s why we work exclusively on a contingency basis. This means you don’t owe us a cent unless we secure a favorable outcome for you.
It’s no secret that attorneys can be hard to reach when they’re working on contingency as opposed to billing by the minute. You won’t have that experience with us, however. We’re committed to being available for you. We understand the difficulties that you’re facing, and we are focused on making the legal process less stressful. It’s easy to feel powerless when you’re engaged with the legal system, but we’re here to help empower you. Browse our employee guides

Jason S Lohr
Litigation attorney focusing on complex litigation
I’m an employment attorney based in San Francisco, and for nearly 20 years I’ve had the privilege of representing workers across California—individually and through class actions—who’ve been wronged by their employers. My path to this work started long before law school. I grew up watching my mother put herself through college and law school while working multiple jobs, and I spent summers helping on my grandfather’s farm, learning firsthand the value—and dignity—of hard work. Those early experiences shaped how I view the workplace, and they continue to inform the way I advocate for my clients today.
I’ve represented hundreds of thousands of California employees, including over 650,000 drivers in a landmark case against Uber. I’ve taken on some of the largest corporations in the country, in court, in arbitration, and on appeal—including before the U.S. Supreme Court. But no matter the size of the case, I approach each one with the same commitment: to be accessible, honest, and relentless in fighting for my clients.
