About the Firm

“Working with Michael was my second experience working with a civil litigation attorney. This experience was by far the best. As a person with a disability it is difficult for me to make decisions, but the way that Michael explained things made it easy to. I am very thankful that I found my Attorney Michael because he is very knowledgeable in Employment law and is great at explaining it to me. When working with Michael I knew he really cared about getting justice for the situation I went through, and he did.”

California law offers strong protections for workers, but the system is complicated, and it’s easy to feel like no one is listening.

If your employer has violated your rights, you don’t have to stay silent – there are ways to fight back. That’s my job. It is rewarding, both for my clients and myself, to hold those employers accountable.

About

Michael Velarde

From large corporations to regional businesses, some employers think they can take advantage of people without facing consequences. My goal is to help people find their voice and stand up against injustices they have faced in the workplace.

With my knowledge of the law and my ability to use it, my clients can vindicate their rights and win back their dignity.

If we decide to work together, I’ll analyze your case in even greater detail, and together we’ll craft a strategy to move forward.

STEP THREE:

I’ll fight for you. I’ll litigate your case, either in state or federal court, or in arbitration. I’ll handle discovery, depositions, motions, negotiations and mediation, and trial if necessary.
