Rodney S. Diggs

I am an experienced litigator with substantial experience in federal and state courts as well as mediations and have tried cases to verdict. As a litigator/trial attorney, I handle all aspects of litigation including drafting and responding to pleadings, discovery, trial preparation and trial. I am experienced in researching and preparing pleadings, including motions to dismiss, compel, demurrers, motion for summary judgments, motions for class certification, oppositions, complaints and answers. My practice areas include: civil rights, copyright, consumer class actions, labor and employment law (harassment, discrimination, retaliation, wage and hour), wrongful death, sports and entertainment, corporate, criminal defense, complex litigation and personal injury.

I have litigated various high profile cases and represent various high profile and high-worth individuals in the music, television, film, sports and other entertainment and sports related fields including actors, athletes, producers, recording artists, directors, record companies, and many other individuals and companies.

I am more than a litigator. As a counselor to my clients, I advise, strategize with and negotiate on behalf of clients, including those not involved in litigation. I assist them in responding to pre-litigation claims and resolving disputes, helping them plan to avoid potential litigation, and provide guidance and legal knowledge where needed.

Prior to starting my career at Ivie, McNeill & Wyatt, I clerked for the Honorable Patti Jo McKay, Presiding Judge for the Appellate Division for the Los Angeles Superior Court. I am admitted to practice before the State of California as well as the Central District of the United States District Courts.
