About Me
Justin is an attorney who founded Work Lawyers PC in 2018 to become a voice for California employees. Justin’s firm offers quality legal representation to California employees in a practical and straightforward manner on a cost effective “no win, no fee” basis. From 2019 to 2021 Justin was selected as a “Rising Star” as an Employment and Labor Lawyer by Super Lawyers.
My Background
Justin was born in Canada to immigrant parents who valued the principles of hard work and treating people right. Besides the need for each person to earn a living and support their family, Justin understood the importance of a fair workplace where employees are paid properly and can work with dignity and appreciation.
Upon moving to California, he enrolled at UC Irvine where he graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in Sociology. In 2011, Justin earned his law degree from UCLA School of Law. Immediately after graduation, Justin served as a Deputy City Prosecutor with the City of Pasadena. There, he prosecuted various crimes and gained valuable courtroom and trial experience. Wanting to work with individuals , Justin founded Work Lawyers PC to help employees stand up for themselves and speak out against their employers.
As an expatriate Canadian, he believes Tim Hortons has a leg up on Dunkin Donuts, and Trader Joe’s butter chicken would make Canada a warmer and better place. Justin has enjoyed making Torrance his home for the last 10 years and enjoys the crinkle cut fries and Del Taco on the weekend.

Since joining Work Lawyers PC in July 2021, May has shown an impeccable track record of helping her clients recover unpaid wages and compensation for the employers’ violation of the law. May represents employees in both individual and representative class and PAGA actions. May is a dedicated advocate of employees’ rights, always making sure her clients recover what they are owed. Through her diligence and straightforward approach, May helped many clients obtain satisfactory settlements through arbitrations and mediations. However, she is not afraid to litigate and to take her opponents to court.
Prior to joining the firm, May represented small businesses in the San Gabriel Valley—where she grew up—in civil, business, and employment disputes. She has argued before the California Courts of Appeals with two of her appellate cases resulting in published court decisions on matters of first impression.

Despite the adversarial nature of litigation, May finds the practice of law extremely rewarding. In particular, she enjoys using the law to help the “little guy” to even the playing field against large corporations. During her free time, she enjoys spoiling her two dogs, Ginger and Lemur (the love of her life), and trying out new boba tea and coffee shops. She hopes that one day, she can own a large ranch to have her own dog sanctuary and to rescue all shelter dogs.
