Our firm has successfully litigated some of the most significant public sector employee cases in California history. These cases have benefited public employees, not only in California, but throughout the United States.

We provide 24/7 legal services following a critical incident or officer-involved shooting. We have a standing roll-out team of lawyers who respond to any major and critical events such as officer-involved shootings and public safety activity-related injuries and deaths. Following a critical incident or OIS, there is frequently an immediate need for legal representation as criminal and administrative investigations are initiated. Our lawyers have handled hundreds of “rollouts” to police shootings and critical incidents and maintain a on-call schedule of lawyers to respond to these incidents, 24 hours every day.
