Work in California:Time When You Should be Paid

A Law Firm For The People Who Keep America Working

Weinberg, Roger & Rosenfeld is one of the nation's leading law firms representing workers, unions, and employee benefit plans. It is the largest union-side labor law firm in the country. More than thirty five attorneys are vigorous advocates for working people and are well-regarded for their skill and dedication on behalf of the labor movement.

In addition to litigating in state and federal courts and before the National Labor Relations Board, the firm also provides comprehensive legal services to many employee benefit trust funds.

Firm History

Very few law firms are founded upon political and social philosophies rather than for economic gain.  Weinberg, Roger and Rosenfeld was founded on the principle that working people are entitled to the best of legal representation in an economy and social system that was not designed with them in mind.  The firm sees itself as a part of the labor movement, along with the labor unions and working people whom it represents.

The original founders of the firm were once part of a larger firm that was headquartered in Southern California.  In 1974, the firm took over the Northern California practice with its principal office in San Francisco and satellite offices in Oakland and San Jose.  Before long the firm established itself in Los Angeles, Sacramento and Honolulu, Hawaii.

The firm has been true to its origins. All of its original members had trade union and working class backgrounds.  When it hired new lawyers, it sought to assure that they not only had solid academic credentials, but that they shared the firm’s. * More
