His legal journey embarked with hands-on courtroom skirmishes as a public defender in Los Angeles County, which honed his skills for over two decades of advocating for private individuals and corporate clients alike. His practice gravitates towards employment and labor law, with a particular focus on navigating the complexities of FEHA, FLSA, PAGA, EEOC, DOL, DLSE, Title VII, and OSHA disputes, alongside handling sensitive matters like workplace sexual assaults and class actions.

Robert's approach is not just reactive; it’s preemptive too.
