Aiman-Smith & Marcy - Oakland, CA

Tireless Advocacy for California Employees and Consumers

Navigating systemic corporate wrongdoing requires legal representatives who possess the trial experience and financial resources to take on multinational corporations. Founded in 1996 in Oakland, Aiman-Smith and Marcy is a boutique litigation firm dedicated entirely to representing individuals, workers, and consumers in high-stakes disputes. Founding partner Randall Aiman-Smith, a UC Berkeley School of Law alumnus and former California Law Review editor, has spent decades fighting in state and federal trial courts and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The firm has recovered well over one hundred million dollars for aggrieved workers through landmark jury verdicts and complex class action settlements. When employers exploit workers or violate statutory employment standards, retaining proven employment and labor lawyers levels the playing field.

Comprehensive Employment Litigation and Class Action Representation

Corporate defendants often rely on high-priced defense counsel to discourage individual workers from asserting their statutory rights. If you need a lawyer urgently to counter employer abuse or wage theft, Aiman-Smith and Marcy delivers relentless advocacy across a broad spectrum of legal disputes:

• Wage and Hour Violations: Strategic representation by wage and hour lawyers for unpaid overtime, missed meal breaks, expense reimbursement failures, and unlawful draw-against-commission practices.
• Employee Misclassification: Challenging corporate tactics that improperly label staff as independent contractors or exempt managerial employees to deny benefits and overtime pay.
• Wrongful Termination: Decisive claims managed by wrongful termination lawyers when employees are terminated in violation of public policy or under pretextual disciplinary schemes.
• Workplace Discrimination: Assertive advocacy by workplace discrimination lawyers fighting biased treatment based on race, sex, age, pregnancy, medical condition, disability, or national origin.
• Harassment and Retaliation: Comprehensive guidance from harassment lawyers resolving hostile workplace environments, sexual misconduct, and punitive actions following worker complaints.
• Whistleblower and Qui Tam Claims: Protecting courageous employees who expose government contractor fraud, illegal corporate conduct, or hazardous workplace conditions.
