We are pleased to announce the celebration of the 40th Anniversary of Rogers Joseph O’Donnell! RJO was founded in 1981 by a group of friends inspired by Joseph W. Rogers and Allan Joseph’s vision of forming a law firm to practice law to the highest standards while treating all whom they encountered, inside and outside the firm, with decency and respect. Neil O’Donnell, the last of the founders, continues to join with his current colleagues in operating a top tier law firm dedicated to practicing law with the same devotion to decency and respect for others upon which the firm was founded.

Please join Gayle Athanacio and Virginia Young for a complementary webinar this afternoon at 12pm PST as we discuss important changes to California's Family Rights Act that impact both large and small employers. Previously, the CFRA only applied to employers of 50 or more employees. However, as of January 1, 2021, CFRA coverage extends to employers of five or more employees. Other changes to CFRA create greater inconsistencies between the CFRA and FMLA which larger employer employers must now navigate.

Despite his years of honorable service in the Navy, including more than 11 years deployed overseas, former Petty Officer Walter Strand was denied his military retirement. For the past 5 years, RJO Attorneys and former Marine Corps and Naval Officers, Lucas Hanback, Jeff Chiow, and Neil O'Donnell have been fighting on his behalf to right this wrong. This case seeks to enforce promises Congress made to returning veterans in the wake of WWII. It is a case that should matter to every veteran and to those who fight for them. If you are interested in filing an Amicus Brief by the September 2nd deadline, we welcome your support and encourage you to reach out to one of our attorneys on the case. https://buff.ly/2HbUiow
