Areas of Practice

  • In the wake of Covid-19 pandemic policies, many people were/are forced to decide between their personal freedom of religious and medical choice and their careers, livelihoods, education, their ability to receive services, and/or freely participate in society. This type of coercion, harassment, segregation and discrimination by employers, businesses, schools, healthcare, and agencies in the name of health & safety is unconstitutional and violates several federal and state laws. Although much of what is happening surrounding these mandates is novel, the law is on your side.

    • We can assist individuals and groups who've suffered discrimination.​

    • We have partnered with highly skilled attorneys throughout California who assist with group employment issues (frontline workers, hospitality workers, firefighters, police, students, airline staff, etc.).

    • If you've suffered a health injury after being coerced into receiving an inoculation due to pandemic policy, we can refer you to our partner attorneys that specialize in this area.

    • You are not alone!

  • Research Services:

    • If you find yourself in a situation that may have a legal component to it but are unsure what the relevant law is or what your legal rights or obligations are, our attorney can research the law for you and explain it in layman's terms! Additionally, as legal documents can often be perplexing, we can review and interpret contracts, titles, court forms and various types of documents to ensure you have a clear understanding of their contents.

    Writing Services:

    • Letters: Maybe you received a legal document/letter and are unsure how to respond or proceed. Perhaps there is an issue you tried to resolve with a person or business but they won't respond or take you seriously. Sometimes it takes a legal advocate to motivate the other party to move towards resolution. We find demand letters to be powerful as a first line of defense that often opens negotiations or initiates an agreement, eliminating the need for a complicated and costly court battle. Additionally, in some cases, courts will require an individual to attempt to work out their issue with another party before bringing it to court. In that case, the letters we write satisfy that requirement.

    • Document Preparation: Court forms can be confusing and creating legal documents can be tedious and difficult to attempt. As we are fluent in “legalese,” we can prepare your court forms for you or create legal documents, depending on your needs.

  • Two parties who go to court to “duke it out” with each other don’t always wind up pleased with the outcome. Mediation is one of the most powerful and effective ways to resolve a dispute and subsequently build a foundation of mutual respect going forward, all while saving money. When two people cannot agree, it is typically because they are not truly hearing one another. The attorney is skilled in facilitating an environment where each party is heard, understood, and validated. That is the foundation by which livable compromises lead to agreements. In addition to helping you reach resolution, we can record your agreements in writing when appropriate.

    Signified Law offers Mediation for situations such as:

    • Family Disputes

    • Neighbor Disputes

    • Landlord/Tenant Disputes

    • Co-worker Disputes

  • If you need to legally change your name for any reason (marriage, divorce, change of circumstance, etc.), we can help. A more common issue recently is if you are applying for a DMV issued Real ID but have a name discrepancy on any of your legal forms of ID. In this case, a legal name change through the courts may be required.
