Why us?
Golnoush Goharzad spent years defending insurers. She knows how adjusters value bite claims, how they question scarring and PTSD, and what evidence makes them move. Now she uses that insider playbook for you.
Workplaces in Los Angeles and Orange County are diverse, and so are the courtrooms. A local attorney understands how judges in LA and OC prefer filings, how cases move through the system, and how defense firms negotiate. We also work with trusted local experts including HR professionals, forensic accountants, vocational specialists, and mental health experts to document the full impact of workplace misconduct. Insurers and defense counsel know which firms settle quickly and which are prepared for trial, and our reputation helps us pursue full value for our clients throughout Los Angeles and Orange County.

We know where the proof lives
And how to get it quickly. In employment law cases, critical evidence can disappear fast: emails get deleted, records are altered, security footage is overwritten, and witnesses leave the company. We act promptly to preserve communications, personnel files, performance reviews, payroll records, internal complaints, witness statements, and other key documentation that can strengthen your case from the start.
A local Los Angeles employment lawyer brings knowledge of California labor laws, experience handling workplace disputes, trusted expert resources, strong negotiation leverage, and steady guidance throughout the legal process. So your case moves forward with confidence and reflects the full impact of what you’ve experienced.
Every employment law case is unique, but some of the most common cases we handle include:
You talk. We listen. We learn what happened and what you need.
You don’t have to take their calls. We handle adjusters and defense counsel—and we know the playbook.
Photos, medical records, incident/animal-control reports, vaccination history, prior complaints, witness statements, surveillance, and property records.
Strong settlement or trial, we push for maximum compensation, including scarring and future care.
I’m very thankful to Ms. Golnoush Goharzad for all her help with my case. After my car accident, I didn’t know what to do or what to expect. She was so patient and always took the time to explain everything clearly. I really felt like she cared and was fighting for me the whole way. Thanks to her, I got a settlement that helped me a lot. I’m so happy I had her as my lawyer and I truly recommend her to anyone going through something similar.
Ms. Golnoush Goharzad was an incredible advocate for my wife after her car accident. From the beginning, she was professional, compassionate, and completely dedicated to the case. She kept us informed every step of the way and always made time to answer our questions. It was clear she genuinely cared and wanted the best outcome for my wife — and she delivered. We couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer. Highly recommended.
Understanding your legal rights shouldn’t be confusing. Here’s what clients like you ask us most—answered simply and directly.
If the insurance company has already made you an offer, you should speak with an attorney before accepting it.
Insurance companies often make early settlement offers to close cases quickly — usually for far less than the full value of your claim. Once you accept their offer, you typically waive your right to pursue additional compensation, even if your injuries turn out to be more serious later.
An experienced attorney can review the offer, evaluate your medical records and damages, and negotiate for a fair settlement that truly reflects your losses — including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
