In The News . . . . California Lawyer Employment Roundtable Participant Likes Result in Chavez

 

Also Mimics Our Mission Statement

     In the April 2010 California Lawyer, Anthony J. Oncidi, a partner in the L.A. office of Proskauer Rose and a participant in an Employment Roundtable contained in the April edition, had this to say about a recent decision: “I really like the state Supreme Court’s recent opinion in Chavez v. City of Los Angeles (47 Cal.4th 970 (2010)) in which they denied an $871,000 attorneys fee application for an employee who recovered only $11,500 at trial. Maybe, as a result of this case, there will be less of the tail wagging the dog when it comes to the attorneys fees issue.”

     We have added Chavez as #13 on our Leading Cases. Mr. Oncidi also mimicked well our Mission Statement, which borrows from a quote in a decision authored by Justice Edward J. Wallin (Ret.), now with JAMS. Co-contributor Mike’s Labrador RiffleRiffle obviously likes this quote.  Riffle is a smart dog and wags her tail.
