Outstanding employment discrimination attorney with four decades of expertise

When I faced wrongful termination after reporting workplace safety violations, I needed an attorney with deep employment law experience. Gay Grunfeld’s 40-year track record and recognition as Lawyer of the Year in Employment Law gave me confidence during my most challenging period. Her team at Rosen Bien Galvan & Grunfeld conducted an exhaustive investigation, documenting the retaliation I endured. Ms. Grunfeld’s expertise in both employment law and civil rights proved invaluable—she understood how to frame my case under multiple protective statutes. Her Columbia Law background and decades practicing in San Francisco meant she knew the local courts and opposing counsel well. The settlement we achieved far exceeded my expectations, protecting my professional reputation while securing fair compensation. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
