Firm Overview

Sacramento Metro Area Employment Lawyer
Elisa W. Ungerman

Over 17 Years of Courtroom Litigation Experience

After 16 years of representing employers, employees, businesses, and individuals in court, I started my own Sacramento area law firm in 2005 to focus on strong, individualized client service in combination with aggressive trial representation. I work for clients involved in disputes involving employment discrimination, pregnancy and disability discrimination, or wrongful termination and gender or sex harassment; discrimination by businesses in providing goods, services or accommodations; breach of contract or other business disagreements; counsel, review and negotiate employment contracts and severance agreements; civil rights violations; and injuries or wrongful death after car accidents, assaults, or other events caused by other people's negligence or wrongdoing.

To discuss your situation and how we can begin to resolve it, contact my Sacramento area law office today.

I am licensed to practice before all California courts, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California, and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. I am a member of the Sacramento County Bar Association, the California Employment Lawyers Association, the Consumer Attorneys of California, and the Capitol City Trials Lawyers Association.

Problem Solving with Your Goals in Mind

Working as a sole practitioner, I am able to spend much more time getting to know my clients so I can truly understand what you are facing, your legal situation, and your goals. Every step of the way, I will make sure you understand every aspect of your case so that you can make realistic decisions. We will work together to clarify your interests and develop a strategy to obtain them.

Prior to devoting my practice to representing plaintiffs in employment law and civil disputes, I had a successful career for many years representing both plaintiffs and defendants, including public entities, individuals, and businesses. I understand the system, the rules and realities, and the strategies defendants use. I can vigorously meet their tactics and protect your rights.

Wrongful Termination Based on Discrimination

A significant highlight of my career was when I successfully represented a client who was fired from her job due to pregnancy discrimination. A jury awarded her $4.8 million which later became a $6.1 million judgment.* I strongly believe in sex and gender equality and the prevention of discrimination or harassment based on an illegal factor, both in the workplace and in the business world. This includes wrongful termination because of your pregnancy, lack of accommodation for your disability, failure to provide you goods or services because of a popular characteristic, harassment based on your sex or gender, retaliation because you complained of illegal conduct, or because you took FMLA  or CFRA leave.

I want to work with you to hold your employer accountable if you were illegally terminated from a job. I can work with you from the beginning of your case all the way through to an appeal, if necessary.

California Commercial and Business Litigation

Commercial disputes can threaten your short-term liquidity or even the long-term success of your business. Should a dispute arise, I am experienced business attorney and trial lawyer who can help you resolve the dispute quickly or fight for the verdict or judgment that can preserve your business's reputation and profitability. I represent clients in business disputes such as:

• Breach of contract
• Corporate and partnership disputes
• Wrongful exploitation of your trade secrets
• Libel and slander
• Discrimination/Sexual harassment claims

To discuss your situation with an experienced trial lawyer who approaches every legal situation with your goals, interests, and results in mind, contact Sacramento, California litigator Elisa W. Ungerman today.
