Glaser Weil Secures Decisive Trial Victory for County of Los Angeles in Employment Discrimination Case

Glaser Weil is proud to announce a significant trial win on behalf of the County of Los Angeles in a contentious employment discrimination case in which the plaintiff alleged repeated denial of promotion due to his ethnicity.

The defense team—led by Litigation Partner James Sargent, Associate Thomas Barajas and Paralegal Rebecca Feldman—mounted a strategic and focused litigation effort. After a favorable ruling at the Summary Adjudication stage, a pivotal moment came during trial with a successful motion for nonsuit at the close of the plaintiff’s case, further narrowing the claims.

The jury deliberated for just 40 minutes before delivering a unanimous verdict for the defense. This outcome underscores Glaser Weil’s commitment to excellence in litigation and its ability to navigate complex, high-pressure trials with integrity and precision.
