ABOUT MICHAEL THOMAS

I am a seasoned labor and employment lawyer passionate about helping businesses flourish by unleashing the potential of their work force through creativity, innovation, and sound labor and employment litigation practices. I have a significant background in employment law, class action and PAGA litigation, and in business. I have also studied meditation and mindfulness. These skills allow me to understand client problems, to come up with effective and creative solutions that meet litigation and business needs, and to assist clients in resolving workplace conflict. I also conduct workplace trainings in respect in the workplace, effective and respectful communication, diversity and inclusion, unconscious bias, building empathy, harassment, bullying in the workplace and workplace violence. I also provided one on one coaching and training in the same subjects. My goal has always been to distinguish myself as a trusted advisor and an out of the box thinker. No two clients are the same. I aspire to inspire clients to not only be sustainable but to flourish. Specialties: State and federal individual and class litigation; claims before administrative agencies, training on respect in the workplace, respectful communication, diversity and inclusion, building empathy, and leveraging meditation and mindfulness to reduce bias and to unleash creativity and innovation.
