Four of our five founding partners remain active members and mentors of our team. Their loyalty to the firm reflects a company-wide trend towards longevity: our retention rate is higher than average, with many attorneys and staff remaining at AALRR a decade or longer.
Our full-service firm is a recognized powerhouse in labor and employment law, education law, cities and counties representation, and litigation—and many of our attorneys have received distinction as Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers in America, and other accolades.
