Efren Dizon

Partner

Efren came to employment law from a family of cannery and packing-house workers, and takes the cases that need a long view.

Efren handles retaliation, appeals, and severance deals with a lot at stake. He tells clients what the other side is likely to say before the other side says it, so nothing in a meeting is a surprise.

How Efren works

He reads everything twice, then reads it again with you. When an offer arrives he'll tell you which parts are standard and which parts are asking you to give something up.

Clients who prefer Spanish are matched with Marcelina or Mika from the first call, and Efren joins whenever there's a deadline to plan around.
