What Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw does

Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP is a plaintiff-side California employment and labor law firm that represents individual employees and employee classes against employers for violations of the California Labor Code, including wage-and-hour, overtime, meal and rest break, wage statement, expense reimbursement, discrimination, retaliation, and wrongful termination claims. The firm also litigates PAGA representative actions and has expanded into specialty areas including ERISA benefits disputes, FCRA claims, and mass-tort/consumer matters such as the Monsanto Roundup, Volkswagen, and Luxottica cases.

The firm operates on a contingency-fee model with no upfront cost to plaintiff clients, accepting qualified cases only when there is a viable claim. Services are delivered through eight physical offices covering San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, Riverside, Orange County, Santa Clara, and Las Vegas, supported by a toll-free intake line (800) 568-8020 and an educational blog on California labor law. The legal team comprises 16 practicing attorneys and 4 legal assistants, all specialized in employment and labor law. The firm is structured as a limited liability partnership with no external funding or parent company.

The firm markets itself through content (the California Labor Laws Blog), earned media (PR Newswire announcements of class action filings), and direct intake. It claims over 80 years of combined attorney experience, over $1.3 billion in cumulative awards recovered for clients, and multiple Super Lawyers recognitions. The target customer base is non-exempt California and Nevada workers who have experienced employer-side labor code violations, with case-level rather than recurring-contract economics.
