Masoom Law Firm P.c.

What Masoom Law Firm P.c. does

Masoom Law Firm P.C. is a privately held professional corporation incorporated in 2010 and headquartered in San Jose, California, providing legal services across two practice groups: employment law (representing both employers and employees) and criminal defense. The employer-side offering spans business formation, trade secret and non-compete agreements, workplace investigations, EDD claims defense, wage audits, employment contracts, and trial-ready litigation; the employee-side offering covers wage and hour, retaliation, harassment, discrimination, and wrongful termination. Criminal defense work extends to felony and misdemeanor charges, DUI, domestic violence, white-collar investigations, and complex litigation throughout California.

Underlying the practice is a tech-enabled operations stack: the firm has moved from hardcopy filing to state-of-the-art case management software, near-exclusive cloud storage, legal research tools, and a litigation analytics platform used for cost-benefit and risk evaluation. A proprietary library of work products compiled over 15 years supplements these tools. The team comprises Managing Attorney Elnaz Masoom, Senior Litigation Attorney Jim Erickson, and two legal assistants (Monique Nicolas and Axel Rojas), with bilingual English/Spanish service delivery and two San Jose office locations (99 N First St and 1625 The Alameda).

The business model is professional services billed hourly, with sales driven through a consultative approach: initial consultation requests via website, phone, and email, supplemented by content marketing (blog, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram) and community-led referrals. Customer segments are horizontal — SMB and mid-market employers across homecare, healthcare, hospitality, construction, and real estate, plus individual employees and criminal defense clients. Distribution is regional (Silicon Valley and broader California), and the firm holds no external institutional capital.
