https://linktr.ee/ericdewames With ten offices throughout California, Michael Sullivan & Associates provides a full service employment counseling and defense division. As Managing Partner, I oversee the nine offices of our Employment Department. In my 19 years of practice as a civil defense trial attorney, I have developed a sincere passion for employment law as it is one of the most robust, complex and ever-evolving areas of practice in California. After defending and counseling all sizes of businesses, from small individual proprietorships to Fortune 500 companies, I have learned that one size does not fit for all clientele in developing strategies for counseling and defense. It is my approach to learn each individual client’s business culture and to fully partner with them to provide a comprehensive service that meets their particular needs and goals. It is my goal to work with clients, through direct training and compliance counseling, to prevent litigation. When litigation is inevitable, a successful and significant jury trial track record is utilized to mount an aggressive and efficient defense. With the spike of class and representative PAGA actions in recent years, I am proud of the successful results for my clients defeating & minimizing these claims. I hope that we will have the opportunity to provide trusted service to you and your organization for all of your employment law needs.
