TRIAL SUCCESS

Attorney Brian Mankin successfully tried a discrimination case before a jury in the Orange County Superior Court.

During the punitive damages phase, the jury found that the employer acted with malice. A judgment was rendered in the amount of $175,000 in favor of our client. Even in a conservative jurisdiction like Orange County, our team of employment attorneys stand ready to vindicate the rights of employees who are wrongfully discharged.
