Employment Claims We Defend

We represent employers in a range of employment-related claims, helping you assess risk, respond effectively, and move forward with a clear strategy.

Wrongful Termination Claims

Defense against claims involving alleged unlawful termination, including disputes over the reason or circumstances of separation.

Workplace Discrimination Allegations

Representation in claims involving protected characteristics such as race, gender, age, disability, or other classifications under California law.

Sexual Harassment Claims

Defense in matters involving hostile work environment or inappropriate conduct allegations, including internal investigations and formal claims.

Retaliation Claims

Representation in cases where an employee alleges negative action after reporting or opposing workplace conduct.

Each matter is evaluated based on the specific facts, with a focus on understanding the claim, assessing exposure, and determining the most effective path forward.

When to Speak With an Employment Defense Attorney

Employers often wait until a claim becomes formal—but early guidance can help reduce exposure and prevent escalation.

Writing a will that truly reflects your wishes

Clear, customized guidance from experienced attorneys

A will is one of the most important legal documents you’ll ever create. It ensures your property is distributed according to your choices, not left to state laws or court discretion. At Parker & Maloney, we help individuals and families across multiple states prepare valid, thoughtful wills that bring clarity and peace of mind. Whether your estate is modest or complex, our attorneys make the process straightforward, transparent, and designed around your specific goals.


Why every adult needs a will

Protecting your family starts with preparation

Many people assume wills are only for those with large estates, but they’re essential for anyone who wants a say in how their affairs are handled. A well-drafted will outlines who inherits your assets, who manages your estate, and who cares for your minor children. Without one, state law decides those matters for you, often in ways that don’t reflect your wishes. Our attorneys help you anticipate potential issues, minimize conflict, and leave a clear plan that makes things easier for your loved ones.
