Meet Michael Carlin

Los Angeles County Bar Association
consumer-attorneys-association-of-LA

Michael Carlin didn’t build this law firm to chase billable hours. He built it to fight for workers. He started out at one of the biggest law firms in the world, representing global corporations. Then he walked away. That work meant protecting power, not people. He wanted something real. He wanted impact.

Now he brings insider knowledge to your side of the table. Every strategy, every argument, every move comes from firsthand experience with how companies operate. He uses that edge to take on employers who cross the line, push too far, or bet that you won’t stand up for yourself. He’s here to prove them wrong.

We’ve spent many years holding California employers accountable. If something feels wrong, it often is. Let’s talk about what happened—and how we can help make it right.

What Past Clients Say About Michael Carlin

Former Client: Gender Discrimination Case

Working with Michael was an incredibly positive experience. His expertise in employment law, particularly in cases involving discrimination, harassment, and retaliation, was invaluable. I always felt supported throughout the process, and his deep understanding of employee protections ensured that I was informed and empowered in my situation. His dedication and thoughtful approach made a real difference.

Former Client: Disability Discrimination Case

I can’t say enough positive things about Michael’s competence, expertise, and professionalism in employment law. I was turned down by multiple law firms because of the complexity of my case and the arbitration tribunal hoops my former employer puts you through before it’s even allowed to go to state or federal court. Michael was confident that I had a good case, and the case settled to my satisfaction.

Former Client: Pregnancy Discrimination Case

When I pursued legal action against my previous employer, one I had worked for for almost a decade, it was an incredibly stressful and difficult choice to make. The easiest and best choice I made was choosing Mike as my champion. He was calm, diligent, and methodical, and quite frankly, he fought for me more than I was able to fight for myself. I’m grateful for his intelligent and nuanced approach and recommend him to anybody looking for an employment lawyer.
