Perona, Langer, Beck and Harrison
Perona, Langer, Beck and Harrison stands as a preeminent law firm in Southern California, distinguished for its unwavering commitment to excellence for the past six decades. With a comprehensive approach to diverse legal disciplines, the firm has carved a niche for itself by concentrating on Social Security Disability, personal injury, civil rights, employment law, workplace injury and workers' compensation cases.
However, we truly shine in our dedication to handling employment law matters with precision and skill. Renowned for our thorough understanding of labor and employment laws, we navigate intricate legal matters related to wrongful termination, sexual harassment, contract disputes and discrimination based on age, race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, disability, pregnancy and more.
Our attorneys, recognized as leaders in employment law, achieved a groundbreaking milestone by securing a $464 million verdict in a landmark case – one of the largest employment law victories in American history. Additionally, a few of our attorneys are board-certified as specialists in employment law by The State Bar of California.
With a legacy built on skill, trust and unwavering commitment, we understand that experience matters. As a steadfast pillar of legal advocacy, we have successfully recovered over $2 billion for our clients, a testament to our relentless pursuit of justice and compensation. Having served over 200,000 clients, our impact resonates with communities throughout Southern California
You can rely on us to fight hard for a positive resolution of your case. We operate 7 days a week because we know that legal challenges do not adhere to a schedule, and we firmly believe that our clients deserve representation when they need it. We offer free initial consultations and virtual meetings. We are proud to be a firm that transcends language barriers – we speak Spanish.
