Firm: Law Office of Balam O. Letona, Inc.

409 13th Street , Oakland , California 94612

Practice Areas: Identity Theft

My parents are hardworking immigrants. They raised me and my four siblings in Union City, CA and for a time in Gilroy, CA. My parents taught me the value of hard work, respect for others and to love family. I grew up with a lot of cousins, aunts, and uncles. Some of those folks are blood-related and others aren’t, but my parents never saw any difference and neither do I. When you visit my office or become a client I hope to treat you with the same warmth and caring that I learned from my family. There are many reasons I chose to become an attorney, but what I’ve learned over time is that it’s my love of people and their own story that sustains me. I will take the time to listen to you, learn your story and let you know if I can help.  I started my own law office with the purpose of helping normal people solve problems that may seem hopeless. Contact me. I hope I can take the weight off your shoulders. The first consultation is free. Most of the cases I take I don’t charge any attorney fees up front, but if the case settles or we win at trial then you agree to pay me.

Firm: Lazear Mack

436-14th Street , Oakland , California 94612

Practice Areas: Class Action

Arthur Lazear has practiced law for more than 30 years, helping to obtain successful results for worthy clients nationwide. Mr. Lazear has prosecuted some of the biggest class actions ever litigated in employment law, but has never abandoned his level of personal attention to each client, which is the firm’s hallmark.. Mr. Lazear’s father was a janitor, a Russian immigrant who worked nights in a tireless effort to provide his children the hope of a better life, that they might realize the American Dream.  The example set by his father inspired Mr. Lazear’s lifelong commitment to protecting and enforcing the rights of working men and women at the hands of unethical or careless employers. He began his career arbitrating on behalf of labor union employees, including steelworkers, communications workers, federal government employees, and of course, janitors, completing more than 100 labor arbitrations in his storied career.. In the Continental Can cases, Mr. Lazear, along with Dan McIntyre, an in-house counsel for the Steelworkers, represented hundreds of workers at plants nationwide who were discriminated against by being laid off illegally to defer or deny their entitlement to pension benefits, in violation of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).  Ultimately, after multiple, lengthy trials, the firm recovered nearly half-billion dollars of damages for the workers.. In the Pacific States Steel case, which has been in and out of litigation since 1979, Mr. Lazear fought successfully to force the company to pay hundreds of steelworkers’ their promised lifetime medical benefits.  After their plant was shut down, he was able to secure the land and the plant itself as collateral against the amounts owed the many pensioners. After convincing the United States District Court to force the company to turn over to the plaintiffs the large piece of contaminated property in Union City, California, which had held the plant, Lazear’s diligence ultimately saw the land remediated, sold, and developed into 800 homes, with tens of millions of dollars in proceeds distributed to the plaintiff class.. Having tried dozens of employment cases to verdict, Mr. Lazear has also fought for employees’ rights at the California Supreme Court, at the United States Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, and at numerous other courts in California and nationwide.. Mr. Lazear has not only helped empower employees in the workplace, but has tried to verdict complex matters relating to medical malpractice, commercial disputes, and land use. The common theme of Mr. Lazear’s high-quality, diverse representation is that he works to make a positive societal impact in every case.. Mr. Lazear has trained generations of lawyers how to practice law and how to write persuasive arguments, and his briefs are often used as teaching tools in law schools. He is native of New York, a graduate of the University of California-Berkeley and Boalt Hall School of Law, and remains an avid Cal and East Bay sports fan. Mr. Lazear is married to Angela Lazear, also a firm employee, and they have two children.

Practice Areas: Litigation

Firm: Bailey & Glasser LLP

1999 Harrison Street , Oakland , California 94612

Practice Areas: Civil Rights

Arthur Bryant is a nice Jewish boy who decided he wanted to become a public interest lawyer when he was 14 years old. So, he went to Swarthmore College, Harvard Law School, and that’s what he did. The National Law Journal has twice named him Arthur of the 100 Most Influential Attorneys in America. He has won major victories and made new law fighting for consumers’ rights’ workers’ rights, civil liberties, civil rights, clean air, clean water, food safety, corporate and government accountability, the poor and powerless, and access to justice for all. He is listed in Who’s Who in America, Who’s Who in American Law, and Who’s Who in the World.. Arthur spent the past 35 years helping build and lead a national public interest law firm – Public Justice, – that works with lawyers nationwide to bring cases that will make a difference. He joined Public Justice as its sole Staff Attorney in 1984; became Executive Director in 1987; Chairman in 2014; and Chairman Emeritus in 2019, his 35th anniversary with the organization. When Arthur became Executive Director, the group had two staff (Arthur and the receptionist), a small office in Washington DC, fewer than 25 annual members, a $275,000 budget, and very few cases on its docket. It now has 43 staff (including 23 attorneys), offices on both coasts, over 2,700 members, a $7.5 million budget, and, over the past 30 years, has been involved in a broader range of cutting-edge, high-impact cases than any public interest organization in the country – including two cases before the U.S. Supreme Court last year, both of which it won.. That was the perfect capstone to Arthur’s decision that it was time to re-enter private practice. He is now opening a West Coast Office in Oakland for Bailey & Glasser, created by a close friend he met the first week in law school, and more dedicated than ever to fighting for justice.. Arthur has been honored by, among others, the American Association for Justice, the American Bar Association, Harvard Law School, Mass Torts Made Perfect, the Consumer Attorneys Associations of Los Angeles and San Diego, the Iowa Association for Justice, the New Jersey Association for Justice, the Pennsylvania Association for Justice, the Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association, and the Western Trial Lawyers Association. The Oregon Trial Lawyers Association has named its public service award the Arthur H. Bryant Public Justice Award.

Firm: Winger Mediation & Family Law

490 43rd St., Unit 127 , Oakland , California 94609

Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation

Ariel Winger was admitted to the California State Bar in 1996 and has practiced family law exclusively since 1999. After years of litigating domestic-violence cases, Ariel turned to Mediation and Collaborative Divorce as a more humane, holistic, and cost-effective alternative to the traditionally combative, court-based model of divorce. She has been offering non-adversarial, out-of-court divorce options since 2007.. With a background in psychology and counseling, as a child of divorce, and as a single parent after her long-term marriage ended, Ariel is especially sensitive to the emotional and financial issues that strain most family law cases.. Having worked with diverse populations and non-traditional families for over 20 years, Ariel has extensive experience assisting LGBTQ and poly families, and offers compassionate and non-judgmental services to parting couples of all races, ethnicities, socio-economic status’, sexual orientation and gender identities.

Firm: Andrew J. Kopp, Attorney at Law

1305 Franklin Street , Oakland , California 94612

Practice Areas: Motor Vehicle Accidents, Nursing Home Negligence, Social Security Benefits & Disability, Workers Compensation, Wrongful Death

I represent people in workers' compensation, personal injury, and Social Security Disabilty claims.  Very often these three areas of law overlap (example: a person is severely injured at work by a third party and cannot return to employment).  By becoming knowledgeable and experienced in all three areas of law, I can offer my clients the convenience of having one attorney handle all of their legal needs, rather than three separate attorneys.. I was born in Boston and grew up in Massachusetts.  I attended college at Brandeis University, double majoring and graduating with departmental honors.  I then attended Tulane University School of Law where I was the managing editor for the Tulane Environmental Law Journal and an honors graduate of the trial advocacy program.. I then moved to northern California, where I have lived and practiced law since 1992.  I have been in practice for myself for twenty-five years, but I work closely with several other experienced and exceptional trial attorneys.  I handle every case and communicate with every client personally.  I am committed to helping every client understand their rights and options, so that my clients can make the best choices for themselves and their families.. I am married and have two children. I have a dog, Archie, who comes to work with me on most days.  I enjoy following professional baseball, listening to jazz and blues, and building furniture.

I am a true believer in the defense of people accused of crimes. I will focus on you as a person and achieve the best results for you and your family. You will never be just a case number or a file – no matter how big or small your case is. I will take the time to carefully listen to you and prepare a plan for your case that integrates my expertise and your goal. I will help you and your loved ones through your legal problems.. I have been working for all clients for over 15 years, as a lawyer, and over 25 years in the office. My clients and their families have continually appreciated my attention and expertise that I have applied to their unique situations. I achieve the results that my clients want – dismissals, best plea bargains, not guilty verdicts.. I began working for my father, Robert Beles, when I was in high school – after school and during vacations. In college, I continued to work for the office, sometimes coming home weekends to assist in Dad’s cases. I started there from the bottom level – answering phones, organizing files and doing whatever grunt work was needed to assist our clients. I believe that this experience gave me a firm grasp of what is needed to help our clients through their legal problems.. I was born and raised in Oakland, California. I went to public schools for grammar and middle schools and then graduated from Holy Names High School in 1990. I attended University of California at Santa Cruz and studied sociology and English Literature there. I went to University of Exeter in the United Kingdom and took law and literature courses there. I graduated from U.C. Santa Cruz in June 1994. I immediately entered law school at the University of San Francisco School of Law.. I did not choose to become a lawyer because my dad is a lawyer. I chose to practice criminal defense because it is what I believe in – it is my true vocation. If you have a problem, I will find a solution.. In 2007, the State Bar of California certified me as a criminal law specialist – I was recommended by lawyers and judges, took an examination and acquired the necessary trial experience in order to achieve this certification.. In my 18 years of practice, I have represented hundreds of clients – from the most minor traffic violation to capital murder cases, from the very beginning to the end of the case. I take pride in paying attention to the entirety of the client – the legal arguments, the factual investigation, the goals of the client, the comfort of the family and the end result. I personally handle all of my cases – and I have tried over twenty five felony trials, including 15 homicides. I pay attention to detail and achieve results for you and your family.. I am honored to represent my clients and have received much appreciation from former clients and their families throughout the years. Let me help you through your legal problem.
