JLG Lawyers is a California employment law practice that represents workers who have been wrongfully terminated, discriminated against, harassed, retaliated against, or denied wages. The firm translates founder Michael Jaurigue’s experience representing large employers into an employee-focused perspective that informs case strategy. It conducts a structured pre-litigation review to assess each case before any filing and offers free initial consultations, working on a contingency basis so clients pay nothing unless there is a recovery. Based in Glendale, California, the firm is not a boutique but emphasizes consistent, high-quality representation across all cases. It has earned recognitions such as LA Magazine Best of Legal 2026 and Super Lawyers listings from 2019 to 2024, reflecting its focus on California employment law, including wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wage claims. JLG also operates California’s first Law Office Study Program, an apprenticeship pathway enabling paralegals to become licensed attorneys without law school debt, and its leadership includes CEO Alex Tieu, who built the firm’s scalable operations after a background in real estate technology and venture capital.
