Valen M. Hermiz

A Lifeline During a Complex Employment Dispute

When my former employer attempted to enforce a non-compete agreement that was overly broad and retaliated against me for whistleblowing, I felt overwhelmed. Valen Hermiz at Wilshire Law Firm was recommended to me, and I'm profoundly grateful. Despite her relatively recent graduation from Thomas Jefferson School of Law, her command of California labor law is exceptional. She immediately identified the weaknesses in the employer's case and explained the nuances of litigation strategy with clarity. Her recognition in Litigation - Labor and Employment by Best Lawyers is clearly well-earned. Valen was not only a fierce advocate during negotiations but also a calming presence, always responsive and transparent about our options. The result was a favorable settlement that protected my career and provided meaningful compensation, all without the stress of a protracted court battle. Her professionalism and sharp legal mind in San Francisco's competitive landscape are truly impressive.
