They are terrible at conducting business. They do not return phone calls and avoid confrontation, dragging out what would ordinarily be a simple question or process. Doing this, they are putting their clients' cases at risk for collections.

Would not recommend working with them in any capacity.

Wrongful Termination
Plaintiff filed suit for age and gender discrimination under FEHA, wrongful termination in violation of public policy and failure to prevent discrimination under FEHA. Prior to trial, she dismissed all claims except for her claim for age discrimination under FEHA.
Employment Discrimination
Much of the trial centered on credibility. Plaintiff’s only direct evidence of age discrimination was the comment made by the owner during the termination meeting that “we are going with younger people.” Both the owner, and her daughter-in-law who was present during the meeting, denied that the comment was made. Speaking with the jury after the trial, the jury simply believed the Plaintiff over the two defense witnesses. During the trial, Defense counsel painted the Plaintiff as a foul mouthed, insubordinate, lazy employee. This narrative did not correspond with either the Plaintiff’s employment history or her presentation during the multiple times she testified and further damaged the credibility of the defendant at trial. Plaintiff did not seek treatment for her emotional distress and presented as a strong, independent and self-sufficient woman which is likely the reason for the jury’s relatively small emotional distress award. Prior to trial, counsel for Plaintiff held a mock trial like focus group. This invaluable tool helped to streamline and focus the claims and arguments at trial. Based on the results, Plaintiff dismissed her gender plus age claim and instead pursued age only. Motions in limine and thoroughly briefed evidentiary objections were crucial in preventing the Defendant from arguing that older males in dissimilar job positions were comparators to the Plaintiff.

Property Damage
This case began as a dispute between neighbors — plaintiffs Michael Toschi and Tracy Toschi (the “Toschis”) and defendants Don and Rhonda Dallimonti (the “Dallimontis”). Don Dallimonti is a Sergeant in the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Department. What began as an attempt by the Toschis to mitigate damage to their property (caused, at least in part, by the Dallimontis driving their vehicles onto the Toschis’ property when entering and exiting the driveway of their residence) escalated into a civil rights dispute. There exists a “paper trail” between the Toschis and Defendant County of San Mateo (the “County”) that culminates in the County constructing an asphalt swale along Upper Park Road (in unincorporated Redwood City) on Friday, December 4, 2006. This newly constructed swale runs parallel to the Toschis’ property line at the upper portion of a steep hill that is wooded and contained three mature heritage oak trees. In a letter dated December 29, 2006, the former Director of Public Works for the County, Neil Cullen, wrote that “the recent paving of the drainage swale was not intended to and will not eliminate the issue of storm water runoff on your property, and the runoff is likely to continue its historic pattern of draining onto your property.” In fact, the “historic pattern” of surface water runoff along Park Road was directly down the street to a drainage inlet, not onto the Toschis’ property. The Toschis, as well as numerous neighbors — including Defendant Rhonda Dallimonti — testified to varying degrees that the historic pattern of surface water runoff was down Park Road to the drainage inlet at the intersection of Park Road and Woodland Place. In addition, the Toschis hired Bruce Matheson, a professional engineer with Foundation Technologies, Inc., in the fall of 2006 to evaluate the damage caused by the surface water runoff. On December 14, 2006, Mr. Matheson prepared a report that provided in pertinent part: “It is our opinion... that the newly installed asphalt swale is incomplete and should be extended to the property line to eliminate the gap. If this is not done, it could result in undercutting the roadbed, the loss of more heritage Oak trees, as well as land sliding on the Toschi property, and present a serious safety hazard to you [the Toschis] and your neighbor [Grace Whipps].” On January 14, 2008, Mr. Matheson’s warning came to fruition — one of the Toschis’ heritage Oak trees fell onto the home and property of Grace Whipps. Fortunately, neither Ms. Whipps nor anyone else was injured when the approximately 80-foot tree came crashing down. The fallen tree did cause extensive property damage to both the property of Ms. Whipps and the property of the Toschis.
