John P. LeCrone

Exceptional Guidance Through a Complex Employment Dispute

I engaged John P. LeCrone at Davis Wright Tremaine after my company faced a wrongful termination lawsuit from a former executive in San Jose. The allegations were serious and threatened significant reputational damage. From our first consultation, John’s deep knowledge of California employment law was evident. He meticulously analyzed our internal policies and the executive's history, identifying key precedents in management-side defense that others had missed. His recognition by Best Lawyers in Employment Law - Management was immediately apparent in his strategic approach. John guided our leadership team with clarity, explaining complex litigation risks without jargon, which was invaluable. He negotiated a pre-trial resolution that not only protected the company financially but also allowed us to implement stronger HR protocols to prevent future issues. His professionalism under pressure and his ability to balance aggressive legal defense with pragmatic business advice made all the difference. I would not hesitate to recommend John to any business navigating the challenging landscape of labor and employment law in California.
