Landmark Cases

  • Ellis v. Costco Wholesale Corp. - Fighting for women's rights.  After years of legal battles, the court certified the case as a nationwide class action, finding that Costco had shown significant company-wide discrimination of women.

 

  • Estrada v. Bashas’ Inc. - Fighting for equal pay for hispanic workers.  After over a decade of litigation, the district court granted our motion for class certification, permitting over 12,000 Bashas' workers to challenge pay inequity.
