Los Angeles, CA employment plaintiffs attorney Navid Yadegar talks about the philosophy that guides his work and shares his most common piece of advice to clients. He recognizes that many of the clients who come to his firm have suffered significant harm, not necessarily through physical injuries, but through the loss of their livelihoods and careers. He notes that careers are often closely connected to a person’s identity, personality, and social relationships, so losing a job can mean losing a substantial part of who they are. He takes the responsibility of representing these clients seriously and seeks to help address the wrongs they have experienced.

He emphasizes that when his firm agrees to take on a case, the attorneys remain actively involved and responsive to their clients, not only from a legal perspective but also on an emotional level. He recognizes that clients sometimes need someone to listen to what they have experienced and want a place where they can express their concerns and begin moving forward with their lives. He wants his clients to have the opportunity to focus on rebuilding their lives, finding new employment, and moving forward while his firm works to help restore what was lost from their former careers and pursue compensation as a means of achieving some measure of justice.

He also points out that organized clients are often better prepared to assist with their cases. He encourages new clients to write everything down while the events are still fresh, because important details can be forgotten by the time a deposition or other legal proceeding takes place, which may be many months later. He recommends keeping documents organized, writing down thoughts and important events, creating a detailed chronology, and regularly updating it as the case develops.

Finally, he stresses the importance of being completely truthful with an attorney when discussing the facts of a case. He encourages clients to provide an honest assessment of what actually happened and to trust their attorney to determine how best to present those facts. He explains that clients do not need to exaggerate or overstate their circumstances in order to pursue a successful claim, as the strongest approach is to build the case around the truth.
