What Sets Us Apart
At Hadsell Stormer Keeny Richardson & Renick LLP, we have handled groundbreaking cases in Southern California for victims of employment discrimination and sexual harassment. We have provided training and expertise for other attorneys on how to stop and deter workplace mistreatment, retaliation against so-called whistleblowers, and other forms of crime, injustice and brutality — ranging from wage-and-hour claims on behalf of thousands of workers to domestic and international cases of forced labor. We have led or served as co-counsel in numerous precedent-setting antitrust and consumer fraud class action lawsuits, been leaders in disability rights cases, and worked tenaciously for fair and safe housing.
Our law firm is the one to turn to if your case feels overwhelming or appears complex. Because of our size and our expertise, we can handle cases other firms must turn away.
