WHO WE ARE
“I believe in the dignity of labor, whether with head or hand; that the world owes no man a living but that it owes every man an opportunity to make a living.”
— JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER

Deason & Archbold is an Orange County law firm that focuses on labor and employment law, with extensive experience litigating both class action and individual cases.
Our attorneys have handled dozens of class actions, and countless individual matters, with tens of millions of dollars in settlements, awards and judgments recovered for our clients.
Though based in Southern California, we have successfully litigated cases in federal and state courts throughout California, with additional federal cases filed in New York, Illinois and Texas.
We represent employees in court and at arbitration on a broad range of employment issues, as well as providing accurate, timely legal advice, and are seasoned experts in virtually all aspects of labor and employment law.
– Our Mission
We are dedicated to providing our clients with high-quality legal services. Our attorneys are experienced in providing advice, counseling and representation on a wide range of employment issues, from wage and hour and meal period violations to sexual harassment, discrimination and wrongful termination.
Employers frequently fail to follow the law, whether mistakenly or intentionally, particularly with respect to issues related to sick time, medical leave, and compensation requirements. The misclassification of its workers as independent contractors, or otherwise exempt from the California and federal overtime and minimum wage requirements, is probably the most common mistake made by employers…and the most costly. Deason & Archbold are committed to recovering the compensation owed to these employees as a result of the employer’s failure to follow the law.
We are proud of our accomplishments in serving our clients and we are confident that we can help you in favorably resolving your legal concerns.
