Practice Areas: Employment & Labor

I am an employment law attorney who represents employees in disputes with their current or former employers.  Our firm specializes in the representation of employees in high tech, biotech, and other sophisticated industries, and focuses on cases alleging harassment and discrimination (based on sex, race, national origin, religion, disability, and sexual orientation), "whistleblower" cases involving employees who complain about illegal conduct by their employers, retaliation cases, and unpaid wages.. We are one of the few employee-side firms with lawyers who have worked at large law firms that represent employers.  That experience gives us invaluable and unusual insight into the manner in which employers' attorneys investigate, defend, and value cases for resolution.. We are highly selective regarding the clients we choose to represent because we pride ourselves on investigating and preparing each case thoroughly.  Each case gets continuous, personal attention from each member of our trial team.  We do not farm out our clients' cases to other lawyers.  Our clients get the full benefit of the firm's resources and expertise.  We use cutting edge e-discovery and trial presentation technology in our practice, including Nextpoint, CaseMap, and Sanction II, which are software solutions used by many of the largest corporations in the world.. Our clients have our cell phone numbers and know that they can contact us on an emergency basis when they require immediate legal assistance.  We take very seriously our duty of loyalty to our clients, and our clients know that this is not mere lip service from us.  When our clients need us, we are there.. If you believe that you have a case that would benefit from our expertise, we encourage you to contact us for an immediate, free consultation to discuss your legal rights and options..

I am a California admitted attorney since June 2007. I also have six years of legal experience in South Africa. Since my California admission, my practice has focused on estate planning, trust administration, and probate matters. I have prepared estate planning portfolios for single and married persons; assisted clients in trust administration at first and second death. My probate law experience ranges from simple probates, probating assets where there has been an ineffective beneficiary designation to a complex, litigious, and ongoing probate. My experience has afforded me the opportunity to meet a wide range of people and assist them in creating an estate plan that meets their needs and wishes. This requires me to use my communication skills and ability to make people feel at ease to discuss those dreaded topics of death and taxes. I am well able to translate legalese and assist people in dealing with the loss of a loved one or the loss of capacity and the resulting legal and personal issues which result therefrom. I am skilled at listening to people and seeking to align their goals and interests to achieve a sustainable solution for all parties concerned.

My Story. Growing up my parents worked hard to make sure I had everything I needed to be successful.  My success was more important to theirs.  When I was 28 years old my mom had a stroke.  My parents were divorced so my mom was alone during this ordeal.  I knew nothing about her financial situation.  I did not know what bills to pay, where to pay it from, or even what accounts she had.  During this time she was taking care of my older brother who was bed ridden with psoriatic arthritis.. Although I was 28 years old, I had no clue what to do.  Fortunately upon consulting a lawyer we were able to piece everything together.  She could have lost everything.. My goal is to give people the peace of mind that their family is taken care of upon death and disability.  I help my clients identify what and whom is important to them.  People have worked their whole lives for their family.  We solve the puzzle now so that your loved ones are not struggling to put the pieces together later.. My Bio. Karlo was admitted to the state bar of California in 2002.  He received his Bachelor's degree at the University of the Pacific.  He obtained his juris doctorate from Southwestern University.. At Southwestern, Karlo was a member of the Moot Court Honor Team and reached the finals of the Ruby Vale Corporate Competition, which was argued before the Delaware Supreme Court. Mr. Nebres has contributed to several major publications, including “The AMA Guides Made Easy!”. Karlo strives to meet and exceed his clients’ needs by: structuring estate plans to accomplish their personal goals and objectives, advising on eligibility and availability of government benefits related to long term care and home care needs and assisting clients and families with understanding and navigating the complex issues of aging and illness.. Whether by phone, text or e-mail, Karlo always makes himself available to his clients.  No communication goes unanswered after 24 hours.  Every client has access to Karlo’s cell phone.. When not at work, Karlo is spending time with his wife, Olivia, and children: Maya, Serendipity and Elijah.   He is an avid fan of the East Bay Volleyball Academy where his daughter, Maya, is a member of the 14s Power Team.  He has coached Serendipity's and Elijah's youth basketball teams.
