Expert guidance through a complex workplace investigation

I engaged Justin Brown at Littler during a sensitive internal investigation at my tech company in San Jose. We had received a complaint that required navigating complex California employment laws, and the potential for litigation was high. Justin’s focused expertise in Labor and Employment Law - Management was immediately apparent. He didn't just react to the complaint; he helped us design a thorough, defensible process from the start. His advice was pragmatic, clearly informed by his deep understanding of the legal landscape, which gave our leadership team significant confidence. The fact that he's been recognized by Best Lawyers in this specific field wasn't surprising after seeing his work. He was strategic, calm under pressure, and explained every legal nuance in terms we could operationalize. The matter was resolved internally without escalating to a claim, which was our optimal outcome. If I had one note, it would be that during the initial crisis period, response times could occasionally stretch to a full business day, which felt long when we were in high-gear. However, the quality of the eventual guidance was always worth the wait. I would confidently recommend Justin to any business in the Bay Area facing similar employment challenges.
