About the firm

Founded in Sacramento in 2011 with one rule we have never broken: we only represent workers.

Our story

Dana Calloway spent her first ten years as a lawyer on the labor side, watching good workers lose claims they should have won because they called too late, signed too fast or could not find a lawyer who would call them back. In 2011 she opened a two-room office on J Street with a simple promise: answer every call, and only ever represent the person who works for a living.

Marisol Ruiz joined two years later and built the wage practice, with intake in Spanish from the first call. Today four lawyers and a small team handle termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wage, severance and accommodation cases across the Sacramento region and the Central Valley.

We are not the biggest firm in town, and we do not want to be. We want to be the one that calls you back, explains the risks honestly and stays with you until it is done.

What we believe

  • We only represent workers


    We have never taken an employer as a client, and we never will. No conflicts, no split loyalties.

  • A straight answer, fast


    A lawyer reviews every inquiry. You hear back within one business day, even when the answer is that we are not the right fit.

  • No fee unless we recover


    Most of our cases run on contingency. If there is no recovery, you owe us no fee. The terms are in writing before anything starts.

  • You make the decisions


    We explain the options and the risks in plain words. Settle, push on, or walk away: the call is always yours.
