When we started there was another good employment lawyer, but he retired decades ago, became a mediator, and unfortunatley is no longer with us. I am Karl Gerber. I have been licensed as a California attorney since 1993. I have handled over 2,000 separate cases for employees. In addition to what the legal profession calls individual cases, I have represented many groups of people in class actions, PAGA actions, collective actions, and sometimes just large groups all suing together. In representing large groups, I have actually tried cases for large groups. One case had 69 separate people. One had 4 and one that was just finished had 7. Most lawyers have not done trials with so many plaintiffs. In the wage and hour context, if there are that many employees there are hundreds of thousands if not millions of pages of exhibits. I read everything. If a lawyer does not know what is in the exhibits, good luck! I have won several trials by knowing what is in the massive number of documents when my opponent does not. In terms of real abilities as a trial lawyer, it is important to be able to take whatever is coming at you, and use every adverse witness and piece of evidence the other side throws you way against them. Just to be clear, I started representing employees in various employment disputes from [wrongful termination](https://riversideemploymentlawyer.com/riverside-wrongful-termination-lawyer/) to [sexual harassment](https://riversideemploymentlawyer.com/sexual-harassment-lawyer/) to [unpaid wage](https://riversideemploymentlawyer.com/riverside-unpaid-wages-lawyer/) class actions and so many other types of cases all the way back in 1993. Unfortunately, at this time, I have a lot of gray hair. I am wondering if that is why I am commanding large sums for clients as of late. I'd rather hope my increased skills and experience are helping my clients achieve excellent case results and not merely gray hair! The below picture is from 2017. It was the name on my conference room door. ## Now my Riverside office is on Magnolia. It used to be on Indiana. A lot of lawyers with my experience just sit around the office thinking that they are managing the other lawyers and staff. During the pandemic I ended up doing so much work myself, the thought of managing large teams of lawyers and assistants no longer appealed to me. I found that I was getting much better results than new lawyers who worked for me. Not having to focus on training and helping allowed me the time to take the biggest cases all the way through trial. In the last four years I have tried three major wage and hour cases. One of them took a year and a half. It is also very rewarding to get individual results for clients when the results are life changing. I recently ended a case for a manager in his thirities who was fired while on [medical leave](https://worklawyerca.com/fired-after-fmla/) and has not been able to find a comparable job in the last three years. The case result really makes a difference. I also recently ended a case for a very young woman who was sexually battered at work. The case result is changing her life enabling her to complete a college education without having to work. Just know what you are getting when you hire a law firm. The Employment Lawyers Group also has Ann Guleser who has worked for me since 2006. For support staff, we have real in office people who at minimum have completed college. *(951) 367-1000 to find out if you have a case we can take an hopefully make a difference in your life* ## Our Firm: No Upfront Fees or Costs ### Contingency Fee Representation All employment cases for employees are taken on a **contingency basis**.
