Los Angeles Personal Injury and Employment Attorneys
Aggressive representation for victims of negligence and abuse in LA
When you have been harmed through the negligence or egregious actions of another person, company or organization, you deserve a team with the experience, skills and resources to fight for your rights and get you fair compensation.
McNicholas & McNicholas, LLP is that team. Founded by a family of attorneys spanning three generations, our Los Angeles-based firm has been negotiating and trying cases to jury verdict on behalf of plaintiffs for over three decades. We focus on personal injury, employment law, product liability, class actions and other consumer-oriented matters.
With more than $1 billion recovered in compensation for our clients, we have secured a reputation as one of California’s leading law firms. The three partners have over 400 jury trials to verdict collectively, and over 100 years' combined trial experience.
Los Angeles personal injury attorneys you can trust
McNicholas & McNicholas, LLP handles a wide array of injury claims resulting from the negligence and malfeasance of others. Please contact us if you have sustained injuries from:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Uber and Lyft accidents
- Railroads accidents

- Construction accidents
The firm routinely represents clients who suffered life-altering catastrophic injuries such as brain, spinal and burn injuries, necessitating a lifetime of care and medical treatment. We also represent families in wrongful death claims when the worst comes to pass.
Results-oriented lawyers handling product liability claims
Manufacturers, retailers and distributors owe consumers a duty of care when it comes to their products. When an e-cigarette explodes, an airbag discharges deadly shrapnel upon inflation, or a company fails to warn you about potential side effects from using their products, you could be entitled to compensation for your losses and injuries. A Los Angeles product liability lawyer from our firm can help you make a claim for damages.
Experienced Los Angeles employment lawyers protecting your rights
California is an at-will employment state, meaning employees can be terminated at any time for any reason. However, both public and private employers are governed by state and federal statutes that protect and uphold the rights of workers. The LA employment lawyers at McNicholas & McNicholas, LLP have successfully represented workers seeking justice and compensation for:
- Wrongful termination
- Sexual harassment
- Discrimination
- Retaliation/Whistle blowing
- Failure to accommodate and disability discrimination
- Wage & Hour claims (State law & FLSA)
- Family and Medical Leave Actclaims (CFRA & FMLA)
- Workers’ compensation retaliation
We also proudly represent whistleblowers who have suffered retaliation in the form of harassment, discrimination, adverse employment actions, and wrongful termination as a result of coming forward about wrongdoings within their organization.
