Our Mission:

It all comes down to JUSTICE.

A passion for justice has always been within me. In my early years of practice, beginning in the 1980s, we regularly represented corporate America. While the work was challenging and the legal issues interesting, when cases ended there was always a void— an emptiness. The weight of the moral obligations and the power that the law offers to “make things right” ultimately drove the decision to refocus our practice to the plaintiffs’ side, fighting for the “little guy.”

In the past 20 years, the Marlin & Saltzman team of lawyers, paralegals and support staff have been blessed to have been able to help hundreds of thousands of clients receive fair compensation, recovering more than $900 million on their behalf.

Many voices, one common goal—justice.

Marlin & Saltzman is recognized as a preeminent employment law and consumer class action Law Firm, mass tort and catastrophic injury firm, practicing throughout California and the entire nation. Our team of attorneys has over 135 years of combined experience in class actions lawsuits and complex litigation. We’ve pretty much seen it all, and if we haven’t seen it, we will figure it out for you.
