I called out to the Amazon driver and this man opened his window and called me the N-word in front of several of my neighbors. As a black American, I have experienced racism far too many times to count. I was overcome by several emotions. Rage, frustration, fatigue. Fatigue at having to deal with this sort of sickness, cancer. Saddened that so many of us have to deal with it. I decided not to lash out and set out on a mission to search for an attorney who handles such cases. I was very fortunate because it did not take me long to find attorney Devin Coyle. Attorney Coyle worked for months locating the parties he needed to locate. He genuinely cared about my case and was troubled by my story. I felt extremely relieved that my case was being handled by this particular attorney. This is why I know for a fact that if you find yourself in a situation where you've been harassed for racial, political or for some other reason listed under protected class, you should definitely reach out to Attorney Devin Coyle. I hope to never find myself needing an attorney for this purpose again but if I do ever find myself dealing with something similar or some of the same old thing, this is the Attorney I will be reaching out to.

I am forever grateful for his hard work and for getting me the justice I deserved. I walked away feeling stronger and with a sense of closure.

Outstanding Employment Law Representation -- Truly Above and Beyond!…read more I can't say enough good things about my experience with the Law Offices of Justice Ojo. From the very first consultation, Justice took the time to really listen to my situation, explain my rights, and map out clear options in a way that was easy to understand and empowering. Throughout the entire process, Justice was incredibly responsive, professional, and compassionate. He combined deep legal expertise with genuine care for my well-being -- a rare combination. I always felt supported and informed every step of the way. What really stood out was how strategic and thorough Justice was in handling my employment matter. His attention to detail, negotiation skills, and ability to anticipate the other side's moves ultimately led to an excellent outcome -- far better than I expected. If you're facing a tough employment situation and want someone who will truly fight for you while treating you with respect and empathy, I can't recommend Justice Ojo highly enough. This is a law office that delivers results with integrity. Thank you, Justice, for your outstanding work -- I'm so grateful for your advocacy and expertise!

Review of Tracy Lemmon -- Lemmon Employment Law & Conflict Resolution…read moreI was terminated by a major technology company while on protected medical leave, with active internal complaints and external agency filings pending. The company had locked me out of all systems within hours of my filing complaints, and opposing counsel was running out the clock while offering nothing substantive. I needed someone who could force a real conversation. Tracy did that. She engaged opposing counsel directly and didn't let mischaracterizations stand -- she quoted their own words back to them in writing and held the line. When the other side tried to reframe the narrative, Tracy kept the record clean and the pressure consistent. She coordinated strategy across multiple state and federal agencies simultaneously, which created the kind of leverage that actually moves a large employer off its default position of silence. The monetary result was strong -- meaningfully above what I expected going in, and well beyond the company's initial posture. But Tracy didn't stop at the headline number. She optimized the tax structure of the settlement in a way that materially increased what I actually took home, secured employment record protections that matter for future background checks, and ensured that every internal investigation was formally closed. Those details compound long after the check clears, and she understood that from the start. She's also genuinely collaborative. She kept me copied on everything, ran drafts past me before sending, and respected the documentation I brought to the table rather than sidelining it. If you show up organized and prepared, she'll put your evidence to work. I'd strongly recommend Tracy for anyone facing a California employment dispute against a well-resourced employer. She got me to a pre-litigation resolution that I didn't think was possible when I first engaged her.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

After about 2-1/2 years of harrassment, I finally decided to reach out. I looked carefully because I wanted a quiet and fair attorney who would mediate and help me avoid court and trial. In my research I found Lemmon Law. Tracy has been my champion ever since. It was a very challenging case, but she stuck by me all the way. She is smart, respectful, forthright, and honest. Tracy never made a move without first discussing it with me and she was incredibly diligent in dealing with a problematic discovery process. At the end of the day, we prevailed much to my satisfaction, though we did nearly end up in court, we were able to settle the whole thing (as I said, much to my financial and personal satisfaction). If you need a lawyer to stand with you and fight for you while treating all involved with decency and respect, Lemmon Law, especially Tracy Lemmon is where you want to go.

If you need someone who truly cares about any mistreatment or discrimination you are experiencing…read moreat work, you most definitely located the right office for the challenge. My attorney Melanie Popper represented me in Alameda county regarding a life altering discrimination and harassment matter, and I could not be more grateful to have such a knowledgeable and hard-working professional assisting me. When the office asked me to write a review, I could not begin to describe how happy and extremely pleased I am with my representation. Melanie takes time to ask the important questions no matter how big or small, and she conducted a thorough investigation of my complaints during her depositions which helped me to understand my rights. She spoke with all levels of individuals who were able to provide details of my situation including supervisors and managers. I participated in a class at The Revelatory Center for Arts and The Law which she shared. It was a creative space wherein clients got to participate in healthy activities including theater, re-evaluation co-counseling, and drumming as ways to cope with the effects of workplace harassment, etc. She helped me begin to repair the areas of my life that suffered from stress by offering access to this community workshop that used music and artistic methods of therapy. These holistic therapies and community resources helped guide me through this emotionally difficult process and I met others who were pleased with the many ways she was standing up for each of them. Ms. Popper also has a very solid understanding of current law and that makes me feel less stressed. I highly recommend Melanie Popper for anyone who has experienced a violation of their rights and is searching for a reliable, honest and dedicated lawyer. The office location is convenient and most importantly the energy in the building is full of positive people working towards helping others and that is what still gives me the strength to smile in the face of discrimination. Thank you for being my voice and for the services you and your amazing staff provide for me and my family. Sincerely, Carmen M.

I'm extremely satisfied with the service provided by Brian Kim and the staff of BKK!…read more Several years ago I became very ill with a very strange series of symptoms.  Didn't mean that I wasn't sick, but it gave the insurance company just enough of an opening that they thought that they could get away with not having to pay on the policy.  I interviewed and hired Brian Kim early in my illness when the insurance company fought paying the short term disability policy.  It took a bit but Brian was able to help me resolve the matter.  Unfortunately, Prudential decided that it would be good sport to continue to mess with the sick guy and his family and not pay LTD benefits.  As I have gotten to know Brian, I'm so favorably impressed with his work ethic and his follow through.  When you call, he either answers or calls back in relativly short order.  He is thorough and thoughtful in his preparation and does his best to resolve issues in our favor before litigation is needed.  Brian has been on top of communications management, intercepting and either correcting, answering or denying requests and/or assertions by the insurance company.  In doing so, he has protected me from myself, especially when I am undergoing medical treatment that can leave me mentally vulnerable. Bottom line, Brian has had my back the entire time. And, while I'd never wish having to go through this on anyone, having Brian in your corner makes it a bit easier.  Brian was brilliant in arranging my LTD coverage and cementing the life insurance policy I was promised as part of my employment agreement.  Part of what makes Brian so effective is the fantastic staff at BKK.  All of the folks in the office will do whatever it takes to make certain that your message gets through, your letter gets sent or your documents are filed.  Conscientious and supportive, the BKK staff are the perfect complement to Brian's practice in that they make me feel as though I am the only client that they have to worry about. Very unusual for a law practice.  Thank you Brian and everyone at BKK. I cannot express succinctly how much we appreciate the job you have done for us in smoothing the road we must now travel. All the best.
