About Us

Los Angeles Employment Law Firm Protecting Workers’ Rights

At Shirazi Law Firm, P.C., we believe that everyone deserves a fair and just workplace. Founded in 2011 by Emanuel Shirazi, our firm is dedicated to representing individuals whose legal rights have been violated in the workplace. We’re passionate about employment law and committed to achieving the best possible outcome for each and every client.

Our Mission & Core Values

Our mission isn’t just about winning cases. It’s about making things right. Transforming “it is what it is” into “we secured justice for my family.”

Here’s what drives us:

When your rights get violated at work, your fight becomes personal for us. We don’t just handle cases. We champion people. Individuals facing wrongful termination, discrimination, wage disputes, retaliation, harassment.

We’re relentless. We fight with the tenacity necessary to get the best outcome for your situation.

Going the distance – that’s what we do. Other firms settle for less. We explore every legal avenue. Fight tirelessly. Protect your employment rights. We’re not afraid of the courtroom, and our trial experience means we’re ready to take your case as far as it needs to go.

The legal process can feel overwhelming, but here’s the thing – it doesn’t have to be. We explain every step in plain language. You’ll never be left in the dark or feel like just another file number. We make sure you feel informed and heard throughout your case.

We’re proud of our track record. Tens of millions secured in verdicts and settlements. Success means significant financial recovery, yes, but also providing real resolution and accountability for the harm suffered.

Why Choose Shirazi Law Firm, P.C.?

In employment law, choosing the right attorney makes all the difference. Here’s what happens when you work with us, and why we’re different from other firms you might be considering.

• Experience matters. With 22 years in employment law, Emanuel Shirazi brings deep knowledge of workplace disputes. Before representing employees, he worked at the nation’s largest employment law firms. The thing is, this gives him insight into how the other side thinks and operates. He knows their tricks and will use that knowledge to your advantage in your case. Mr. Shirazi’s experience helps him anticipate your employer’s defense and prepare accordingly.
• Trial experience sets us apart from many firms. We’ve achieved numerous arbitration verdicts and multi-million dollar wins, including cases of $2.4 million, $2.1 million, and $1.2 million, plus many other seven-figure settlements. Emanuel Shirazi has successfully handled almost a dozen trials since 2003.
• As a boutique firm, every case gets personally managed by Emanuel Shirazi. You won’t get lost in some large firm’s bureaucracy. Direct, focused attention from an experienced attorney. With our firm, you get the high quality skills of a large law firm partner (which Emanuel Shirazi used to be) and personalized service.
• Recognition matters too. Los Angeles Magazine has recognized Emanuel Shirazi as a “Super Lawyer” since 2010. First as a “Rising Star” in Employment Law from 2010 – 2015, then as a Super Lawyer in Employment Law since 2016 (honoring only the top 2.5% of attorneys practicing in Southern California). Martindale-Hubbell awarded him its highest “AV” rating. He serves on the Executive Committee of the LA County Bar Employment Law Section.
