LOS ANGELES EMPLOYMENT ATTORNEY

My name is Karl Gerber and I have been a Los Angeles employment attorney since 1993. When I started, nobody was really holding themselves out as employment lawyers. Many come and go. Few attorneys with my experience actually participate in your case let alone do all the legal work. After the pandemic I am very hands on. I also try a lot of employee lawsuits. Suing your employer is not easy. I can get you through the maze better than the other people out there calling themseleves employment lawyers. 

This is, "Fake Bunker Hill." These stairs, escalator are a developer's creation from the 1980s. What purpose do all of these stairs really serve? They merely connect one monolithic tower to another. This is wasted outdoor space. It would have been better to let the public roam through an enclosed structure than combat these harsh granite stairs. Most of what happens when you sue your employer is noise, nonsense, and distractions. I will help you with what matters. Employees want their dignity back. They want to be told they were right, or at least what happened should not have happened. Employees also want compensation, and that means money. Any employee who sues and says they are not doing it for the money has a loose screw. I do want to be paid, but I will only put my life blood into a case that matters and has a worthy client.

Looking North to North East from Figueora. Looks like a gigantic building is going up in the lower right part of this picture. Lots of buildings have gone up and come down since I started beating the pavement representing workers. I love LA. This is my place from every parking garage to every crowded street. Somewhere in these highrises, somebody is unfortunately being sexually harassed right now. Another employee is being fired because the employer thought they only got 12 weeks off for a medical problem when it's a disability and they get longer.

Lovely lounge area for alfresco dining and wine at sunset, but this is in back of the parking lot of the 32nd story building of Employment Lawyer Group, Los Angeles. The ambiance looking into the dark parking lot must be simply magnificent at night. Hopefully whoever takes a meal break here gets 30 minutes uninterrupted.

LOS ANGELES EMPLOYEE ARBITRATION AND TRIAL LAWYER

If the employee lawsuit is about a Los Angeles job, or even if there is a basis for filing the case in Los Angeles County, the trial will be in downtown Los Angeles. The Stanley Mosk courthouse has the best jury pool in the world for employees. I've tried quite a few cases there over the years. Let me show you how it is done.

The below picture was taken by accident when I was walking away from the downtown Los Angeles civil courthouse across the street. My cell phone snapped it. My father has a far better picture he took more than fifty years ago in which my mother and sister are seated outside of the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion. 

Although I do not get to see many shows at the Pavillion, I always see what is playing there when I use the parking elevator to rise to the street level in route to court. Yes, I am a proud parking patron in the underground garage. I park there whenever visiting the Stanley Mosk Courthouse, the main civil courthouse in downtown Los Angeles. When I have a trial, I might just be in front of the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion, on my laptop before or after a quick lunch.

Beautiful downtown views even if the building to the right is causing a lot of reflection. In between the glass building and the next building you can see City Hall which used to be the tallest building in Los Angeles, due to ordinance. Unfortunately it is now a dwarf among the DTLA office towers.

In the real world of employment litigation, employment arbitration is messy. In this employment arbitration the private arbitrator was paid more than $57,000 just to hear the wage and hour dispute, some years back. The employer had to pay even more for pre-arbitration work.

We won this won for $400,000. The picture was taken after five days of intensity. The case was about unpaid meal, rest breaks, off-the-clock work, and overtime. I cannot guarantee any employee that I can win their case. But I am fairly certain after even the most skilled employment defense lawyers put on one or two of their witnesses, and those witnesses face my cross-examination they will stop putting on witnesses. For some strange reason the defense's witness list always shrinks dramatically or into non-existence after I've cross-examined a few of their witnesses.

P.S. You are looking at my messy side of the room and my easel presentation. You want results, don't expect a sterile environment, and yes I use paper.

Sort of interesting that my weird little show allegedly about employment law got on top of a billboard for Los Angeles' #1 morning show. Maybe you should have listened and found out why. After that billboard, I did the Karl Gerber, Workplace Lawyer Show for more than 6 years. I moved onto 94.7 FM and then 105.1 FM. At one time my show was a few hundred listeners short of being the #2 listened show in Los Angeles for the hour it was on.
