The Masoom Law Office

At first I was intimidated by the case, the lively office, the busy people. I wasn’t sure whether I even had a case to pursue but it was good to talk to Elnaz. She listened. And her advise was not sugarcoated, she just laid out the facts. She said only if I know what to expect can I make a good decision. She didn’t put pressure on me at all. I was ready after a few days and it was a good thing I had Elnaz Masoom on my side. I was compensated, but most importantly my confidence has been restored. She is a wonderful attorney and a warmhearted person.

Elnaz has assisted our small business navigate the complex world of employment law. Elnaz helped us with our employment hand books, employment contracts and corp minutes. She really can help with all aspects that small business’ need to know. I would definitely recommend her and will continue to depend on her for any employment law issues.

Elnaz does an excellent job of getting in front of issues and preventing them from occurring. I recently had to lay someone off from my company for performance. It was further complicated by the fact that the person’s spouse was an HR specialist. Elnaz did a great job of reviewing the case files, coaching me on my obligations and she even wrote the termination letter for me. And she responded quickly to my request for help. She is knowledgable and fair. I highly recommend her.

Elnaz has been an integral part of helping to establish my business on a solid legal foundation.
She takes the time to simplify complex legal jargon, gets back to me within a reasonable time and does it all with courtesy and respect.
I appreciate her in depth knowledge of employment law. She helped provide me the counsel to make informed decisions.

Elnaz helped me with a false termination case against my employer. We were able to resolve the case quickly and negotiate a significantly larger settlement than my employer was originally offering. I have dealt with a number of lawyers for a number of different issues and I often feel like my case is an after-​thought to them, I have to remind them to accomplish something or I have to constantly request status updates. I didn’t feel that way with Elnaz. I felt that she was proactive in working on my case and I felt like my case was important to her.

Not very knowledgeable on religious discrimination in the work place.

As employment laws have become much more complex recently, including the «contractor versus employee» status, I have sent several of my clients to Elnaz for legal assistance both as employees and as business owners. She has done a great job helping them understand their best course of action, and I truly appreciate the great service she has given them!

I worked with Elnaz this year in a few situations. She was professional and knowledgeable, but more importantly, I felt I could trust her to have my back in an especially difficult matter that was personal for me. She was clear-​headed and helped me be the same. It made a huge difference in the final success of the endeavor to my great relief. So glad she’s on my team!

If you have tried to read the EDD laws online, you are probably confused. As a small business that does not have the need or resources for an HR professional, I tried doing it myself. This could have landed me in big trouble as California is an Employee friendly state. Trust me, you don’t want to learn the hard way.
Elnaz first helped me with an employee classification issue when I wasn’t sure how to pay an Employee. If you don’t know the difference between Exempt and Non-​Exempt, you should probably talk to her. I had such a great experience as she responded promptly and efficiently (which is important when you are being billed by the hour). Since then, Elnaz has helped me put together an Employee Handbook, Independent Subcontractor Contract, New Hire letter and a Reduction in Hour Letter. All was done satisfactory and in a timely manner. Whether you are a Small Business owner, Manager or HR professional, you definitely want to audit your employee classifications, office policies and handbooks and make sure everyone is properly classified. If not, I’d hate to say it but I told you so!

Had a Business Owner Customer having Employee issues…
He wanted to make sure he was doing the right thing (notifications, reg’s & alike) and I worked with Elnaz who is a TOP FLIGHT SPECIALIST in employee/​employer relations, if you need help & do not want to be in trouble with the Dept of Labor… Call Elnaz!
Affordable & knowledgeable seems like the best combination to me!
