Messing Adam & Jasmine

What Messing Adam & Jasmine does

Messing Adam Jasmine & Shore LLP (operating as MAJS, formerly Messing Adam & Jasmine LLP) is a Sacramento-headquartered law firm founded in 2015 that provides public sector labor and employment legal services. The firm represents peace officers, firefighters, paramedics, EMTs, registered nurses, licensed vocational nurses, and other state and local public employees across California and Nevada, with offices in Sacramento, San Rafael, and Carson City. Its core technology is legal expertise delivered through 14 distinct practice areas, including contract negotiations, interest arbitration, contract administration enforcement, grievance handling and arbitrations, employment litigation, industrial disability retirement (IDR), unfair labor practices, disciplinary representation, criminal defense, criminal investigation representation, appellate work, pension and retirement counseling, estate and probate, and formation/modification/governance matters. The firm positions itself as one of the most experienced union-side litigation and negotiation teams in California.

The firm operates as a limited liability partnership owned and managed by its partners, with no external equity, private equity, or parent company involvement. Revenue is generated through traditional attorney fee arrangements, which are quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market relies on direct engagement with public-sector employee associations and unions, attorney referrals within the public safety community, and industry association engagement — most notably featured presentations at the 2026 PORAC Annual Symposium. Customer segmentation is horizontal by persona (peace officers and similar public-safety professionals) rather than by industry vertical. Recent operating signals include lateral additions of partner John Grey and paralegal Amy Balch in April 2026 to lead the IDR practice, the addition of attorney David Garcia in June 2026, and a name evolution from Messing Adam & Jasmine LLP to Messing Adam Jasmine & Shore LLP reflecting partner expansion. No AI, software, or technology-product revenue streams are part of the business model.
