Representative Cases
At Miller Law Group, our experience speaks for itself. Our aggressive
yet practical approach has earned us the respect and loyalty of many
clients. Our team of attorneys can be trusted to provide you with legal
counsel on a wide range of employment matters, just as we have done for
other clients over the years. For example, we have:
- Successfully defended a major California employer in an arbitration
involving claims of wrongful termination, gender discrimination, breach of
contact, and defamation, and ultimately won more than $400,000 in prevailing
party attorneys' fees for the employer.
- Obtained a defense verdict after trial in a disability discrimination
lawsuit filed against California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco
Superior Court and prevailed on Appeal.
- Won a motion for summary judgment on behalf of an agricultural
distributor, which disposed of a case alleging race discrimination, breach
of contract, fraud and violation of public policy.
- Represented a major retail company in an affirmative action audit
conducted by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance (OFCCP), and reduced
the amount of the agency's determination of liability from over $400,000 to
under $10,000.
- Prevailed on a motion for summary adjudication on behalf of a multi-national
oil corporation in the United States District Court, disposing of plaintiff's
gender discrimination, public policy and contract claims, and causing
plaintiff to substantially reduce his settlement demand.
- Filed a motion for summary judgment on behalf of a telecommunications
company in a sexual harassment case, resulting in plaintiff's voluntary
dismissal of the entire action.
- Successfully defeated an injunction against a water treatment product
company's traveling salesperson, which sought to bar the employer from
competing for business.
- Prevailed on a motion for summary judgment on behalf of a large San
Francisco Bay Area employer in a same-sex harassment case.
- Obtained temporary restraining orders on behalf of several employers to prevent
workplace violence and/or harassment of their employees.
- Responded to numerous Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and
California Department of Fair Employment and Housing discrimination
complaints with favorable results.
- Negotiated a settlement with the Employment Development Department,
significantly reducing the amount of employment taxes assessed against an
interstate moving company.
- Successfully settled multiple-plaintiff representative actions under
Business and Professions Code section 17200 on behalf of a major retailer,
restaurant and a service company.
- Prevailed on appeal of a summary judgment victory, finally disposing
of a general manager's claims that his failure to appropriately enforce the
company's sexual harassment policies constituted breach of contract and reverse
sexual discrimination.
