Brian Lawler and his team at Pilot Law, P.C. successfully litigated a USERRA complaint on my behalf. Even though my employer, a large well-known national corporation, spared no expense in denying my rights under USERRA, Brian adroitly and aggressively prevailed at trial. I was made whole and my employer learned that USERRA was not a law they could choose to ignore. Brian Lawler will not disappoint. Pilot Law is the vanguard for USERRA.

When the need arises for legal representation, it usually stems from a situation that is stressful at best. Finding the right person to advocate for your rights can be a process that compounds that stress. That is, unless you come to Brian Lawler and Pilot Law from the get go. Brian and his team including Alexandra Taylor, who you will come to know as Ali, are the best! From our initial meeting to the favorable resolution of my case, the team at Pilot Law was constantly at work toward getting me my due. Brian is a well-versed and formidable force in the face of an adversary. Despite his “Game face,” he is also compassionate and truly cares for the needs of his client and will fight to the end to attain your goal. This is expected from a United States Marine and Brian does not disappoint. Brian worked tireless to right the injustice done to me by a large corporation who thought they could violate the law and scare me off with threats. Having Brian in my corner certainly gave me the confidence to proceed, as with him and the Pilot Law team, I felt certain I would (and did) prevail. Ali, as Brian’s right hand, is exceptional. I was never out of the loop and her expertise in employment litigation, particularly USERRA, was vital to my case in particular. Ali is extremely personable and will make sure that, as a client, you are never scratching your head wondering what is going on. Ali was also vital to me personally as a translator for “legalese.” The choice of a voice for your rights in a legal dispute can be daunting. As a recommendation for anyone searching for that voice look no further than Brian Lawler and Pilot Law. As a...

On Jan 2010, a heavy carry-on luggage fell on our mother’s head while onboard an international flight. Upon arrival at the LA International Airport she was brought to an emergency hospital and later hospitaliized at Cedar-Sinai due to severe headache, dizziness, head swelling, nervousness, and bruising and swelling on right hand, The hospital bill was expensive and the airlines company did not take responsibility of the incident. We consulted a few lawyers but the fees were very expensive and they wanted advance payment before even going to court. We’re losing hope that we will not be able to fight my mother’s claim to the court because the lawyers’ fees were unaffordable. Very fortunately our mom came across Atty. Brain Lawler’s name while she was searching for list of layer firms at the Oceanside library. We met with Atty. Lawler and with the goodness of his heart he took our mother case with no fee up front. Brian had a pleasing personality, very reassuring, and provided us a detailed explanation on how the case will be handled which gave mom a piece of mind and confidence. From the time Atty. Lawler took the case till the medical bills were paid and our mom was compensated, Atty. Lawler and his team truly worked hard to provide mom the best representation. We have nothing but praise, unmatched satisfaction and heartfelt gratitude for Atty. Lawler and his team. They are very professional, exceptional sincere and very confident in handling the case. PILOT LAW FIRM HAS MY HIGHEST AND STRONGEST RECOMMENDATION FOR ANYBODY THAT NEEDS LEAG REPRESENTATION.

Some time ago I found myself in a very difficult situation that required the services of a skilled lawyer. The first three attorneys I talked to wouldn’t even consider taking my case. The circumstances surrounding my situation were not simple or clear and a positive outcome was far from guaranteed. Through his skill and perseverance, Brian Lawler was able to achieve a very favorable outcome for me. Along the way I also learned that he is a consummate professional who does an excellent job of balancing out the need for zealous advocacy with efficient compromise. Above and beyond the call, Brian helped me calm down when situations became stressful. He listened to all my ideas and information and he was then able to filter and use that information to help my case. Most impressively, Brian has a diverse network of associates and experts that he is able to use as a resource to effectively challenge much larger and seemingly more powerful entities. In the end, I realized that his ability to quickly form meaningful personal relationships with our adversaries made a huge difference in creating the best resolution of a very difficult situation for me. You will not find a better advocate to help you through a challenging time than Mr. Lawler. I continue to feel profound gratitude, respect and admiration for him and the tremendous help he provided me.
