Wilmer Harris, Esq.
“Wilmer is a wonderful attorney – I hired Wilmer and his team to handle my employment case and we were able to push for a settlement 2 years after the first complaint filed. I was rejected by many many other attorneys at first since my profession is hard to understand by straight forward illustrations. Many other attorneys told me my case will be hard to be comprehended by jury if we go to trial. I went with another 5 star attorney at first and he dropped me after 1 st complaint filed. Wilmer was the 1st attorney who told me he would take my case. After the other attorney dropped me, I went back and asked Wilmer if he would accept me, Wilmer accepted me and he cured the mess ever since. Not only he was experienced and empathetic, he was very smart and learned about my case in a professional way. Even though my final settlement was slightly short compared to my target, I still strongly recommend Wilmer. He was truly kind and truly a fighter against hidden discrimination. I was impressed by his first depo against the defendant, which made the defendant a stupid liar, in a very professional way. I truly appreciate his help. I strongly recommend him as a past client by all my heart.”

“Excellent, caring attorney – Once Wilmer took on my case, he displayed his intelligent, determined and caring approach to working with me. He explained all of the legal and administrative aspects of the case to me clearly. He kept me aware of deadlines and gave me materials to review in a timely manner. When I asked, he discussed strategies and tactics with me. We prepared for depositions and meetings and I always felt confident going into them. Working with Wilmer made a complex and difficult situation as clear and comfortable as it could be under the circumstances.”

Keeping You Informed During The Fight For Justice
Your Champion Against Injustice
Injustices happen every day in Los Angeles and across the country whenever someone in power abuses those beneath them. When employers fire whistleblowers or institutions cover up cases of sexual abuse or molestation, the law owes those victims justice and compensation for what they have endured.
It has been my honor to help ordinary, everyday folks stand up against those in power and hold those responsible for harm accountable. From civil rights cases to qui tam whistleblower cases, for individuals to large-scale class action suits, I have had the privilege of helping recover millions in compensation for victims of such injustices, pushing companies and institutions alike to follow the law and not abuse their power.
Keeping You Informed Throughout The Process
As your advocate, I consider it my duty to ensure you understand the legal process as we pursue justice for you. This means sitting down with you at the start to ensure you:
- Are aware of your rights,
- Know what to expect from the legal proceedings,
- Can anticipate all possible outcomes,
- Understand the choices and options before you,
- Are conscious of the limitations of the relevant laws and procedures.
But my responsibility does not stop there.. At every step and stage of the judicial process, whether that is preparation, deposition, negotiation, or litigation in court, I will explain what is going on and how it is impacting the case. It is important to me that the law empowers you so that even when I am fighting for you on its behalf, I am sure you are not lost or left behind.
Obtaining Dignity, Justice, And Financial Compensation From Those Who Have Wronged You
The law cannot undo the harm that has been done to you. But it can allow you to hold those responsible accountable, and in so doing, stand up for both your dignity and the principles of justice. It can also demand that they pay compensation for the harm you endured.
Sometimes, this will be done without a big fight; employers might offer to settle your claim to avoid an expensive courtroom battle, or a foster home might be happy to pay to avoid the negative publicity associated with a trial.
Other times, however, you will have to go to court, either as an individual or as a group, standing side by side with others who were similarly hurt or taken advantage of, to get justice. In either case, I will be there to ensure that those who committed that injustice pay you the compensation you deserve.
A Zealous Advocate For Employees In Particular
While I have fought for folks from all walks of life who have suffered nearly every injustice imaginable, from police violence to sexual assault and civil rights violations, I have come to the aid of one group in particular more often than most: workers and employees. This has given me the chance to:
- Win multiple settlements and judgments of over $1 million for whistleblowers.
- Serve on the Board of Directors of the California Employment Lawyers Association and Disability Rights Legal Center.
- Be selected to sit on the California State Bar Labor & Employment Executive Committee for 8 years.
- Serve as the Chair of the State Bar Labor & Employment Section.
- Be nominated for the Consumer Attorneys Association Los Angeles’ Trial Lawyer of the Year Award.
Whether you have a labor dispute, an hour and wage claim, have endured discrimination, or have suffered sexual harassment in the workplace, I can help you fight back and stand up for your rights. Whistleblowers, in particular, including many who have been able to identify fraud against the government, are a core part of the community that I serve.
Evening The Playing Field In Our Society
Imbalances of power are, sadly, built into our society. When those with more power take advantage of those with less, I believe it is the role of the law, and me as a lawyer, to hold them accountable.
Pursuing justice is not just a way to obtain compensation for the harms done, but also to discourage abuses of power by others, and stand up for your dignity and respect, even and especially from those who have wronged you.
I am privileged to have been fighting for these causes I believe in for over 30 years now, and I am proud of having helped so many individuals and families stand a little taller and spend that deserved compensation to make up for some of the harm they have had to endure.
If You Have Endured An Injustice, Give My Office A Call
If you have endured an injustice in the workplace, in your school, in a foster home, or even on the streets of Los Angeles or Orange County, you deserve to have someone help you stand up and claim respect and justice. As the head of our Pasadena office, it would be my honor to hear about your situation and help you claim compensation for the harm done.
