Stonebrook Law

What Stonebrook Law does

Stonebrook Law is a California-based labor and employment law firm that exclusively represents employees, founded in 2009 by Managing Attorney Joseph Tojarieh. The firm operates on a contingency fee basis, advancing all litigation costs and charging no fees unless a monetary recovery is obtained, which makes representation accessible to clients regardless of financial means. Its service portfolio spans the full range of California employment law: wage and hour disputes (overtime, minimum wage, meal/rest breaks, misclassification, PAGA), discrimination claims (sex, race, age, disability, pregnancy), workplace harassment, retaliation (including whistleblower protection), leaves of absence, breach of employment contract, workplace torts (defamation, IIED, wrongful termination in violation of public policy), and workplace privacy rights. The firm litigates in state and federal courts, handles arbitration, and appears before the California Labor Commissioner.

The firm has built a multi-office California footprint with six locations (Los Angeles as headquarters in Century City, plus Irvine, Sacramento, San Francisco, San Diego, and San Jose) and operates a 24/7 phone/text intake hotline (833-33-LABOR). Technology is described as standard case management and litigation support tooling; no proprietary technology, AI capabilities, or APIs are disclosed. Client acquisition is driven by client referrals, strong third-party review profiles (4.9 Google, 5.0 Yelp), case-result publication as marketing content, and direct-to-consumer accessibility, including personal cell phone access to the managing attorney.

The business model is outcome-based contingency: fees are a percentage of monetary recovery, with specific percentages undisclosed and likely negotiated case-by-case. Notable outcomes include a $15M verdict in a Snap-On Logistics disability discrimination case, an $8M FedEx whistleblower retaliation verdict, a $6M Wal-Mart class action settlement covering 4,840 members, a $3.6M pregnancy discrimination verdict, and an $822K racial harassment verdict. The firm claims a 97% case success rate and 1,000+ cumulative employees assisted since founding. The firm is privately held by its founder with no institutional investors, parent company, subsidiaries, funding rounds, or M&A activity disclosed.

It is a direct competitor to Stonebrook in the same California plaintiff-side employment niche.
