A bit about us:

Founded nearly two decades ago, with seven offices across California, we are a 130+ attorney firm devoted exclusively to representing public schools, community colleges, educational institutions, and other public entities.

Our attorneys include former educators, school board members, and in-house counsel who bring firsthand operational knowledge to every engagement.

• Quarterly and annual bonuses up to $50k
• Medical, dental, vision, life insurance, 401(k) with generous firm match and profit sharing
