Abraham Mathew

Abraham is an experienced and aggressive employment attorney in LA.  His clients are mostly employees who have been discriminated or harassed by their employer because of their national origin, race, age, disability, sex or sexual orientation.  He also represents employees in class actions involving wage and hour violations.  A substantial part of his practice involves a broad range of business disputes between partners and shareholders of closely-held businesses arising from conflicts between the owners.  Quite often these disputes involve employment-related claims including claims of misappropriation of trade secrets, breaches of fiduciary duties, fraud, and unfair competition.

Abraham is sought after for his ability to cut through the clutter and arrive at practical, real-world solutions to complex legal issues.  Attention to detail, a firm grasp of facts, a can-do attitude, and a healthy dose of common sense help Abraham to achieve outstanding results for his clients.
