When our mid-sized technology company in San Jose faced a high-stakes wrongful termination lawsuit, the situation felt overwhelming. We needed counsel who was not only deeply knowledgeable in California employment law but also strategically sharp. Michael J. Christian was precisely that. His background, including his recognition by Best Lawyers in Litigation - Labor and Employment, was immediately evident. Michael meticulously dissected the plaintiff's claims, guiding us through every nuance of the process with remarkable clarity. His advice was never just reactive; he helped us understand the long-term implications of each decision, protecting both our immediate interests and our company culture. The case involved intricate wage and hour allegations alongside the termination claim, and Michael’s comprehensive grasp of all facets of labor law was invaluable. His calm, confident demeanor from our first consultation in his Sacramento office through the successful settlement was a steadying force for our entire leadership team. He achieved a resolution that was far more favorable than we anticipated, allowing us to move forward without the shadow of protracted litigation. We are profoundly grateful for his expertise and highly recommend him to any business navigating the complexities of employment disputes.
