As an Entrepreneur, one of the largest challenges is the forever changing, confusing and employee friendly California Employment Laws. Elnaz is extremely knowledgeable, professional, up to date with law changes and can educate you in the way that you will understand the California Employment Laws and how they affect you as an Employer. If Elnaz had not educated me on the differences between firing and laying someone off, it could have cost my Company a lot of money and potential penalties with the EDD. Most recently, I had an urgent Employee issue. I was able to contact Elnaz immediately and she helped me produce a legally sound termination letter in about an hour as I had to fire someone for the first time in my career.

In one of the most challenging times in my career, I was fortunate to work with Elnaz, she was so knowledgeable and well versed in the law. I was so grateful to her for patiently and diligently walking me through every detail of my situation so that I could have the best outcome. I would highly recommend her to anyone who has a tragic employment issue.

Being a former Police Sergeant, I've been around attorneys for years. After a while you get a feel for how they operate and you either respect them or you put them in a different category. I've known Elnaz for about a year now. She is definitely passionate and knowledgeable about her work. I've even heard other attorneys that I respect, comment about Elnaz's work and send her referrals. She has counseled me on a few occasions and I have also sent her some clients. I trust her judgement. and that she is looking out for her clients.

If you have tried to read the EDD laws online, you are probably confused. As a small business that does not have the need or resources for an HR professional, I tried doing it myself. This could have landed me in big trouble as California is an Employee friendly state. Trust me, you don't want to learn the hard way. Elnaz first helped me with an employee classification issue when I wasn't sure how to pay an Employee. If you don't know the difference between Exempt and Non-Exempt, you should probably talk to her. I had such a great experience as she responded promptly and efficiently (which is important when you are being billed by the hour). Since then, Elnaz has helped me put together an Employee Handbook, Independent Subcontractor Contract, New Hire letter and a Reduction in Hour Letter. All was done satisfactory and in a timely manner.
