Protect Your Business from Lawsuits and Unfair Labor Laws in California

Expert Legal Defense for Employers in California – Defend Your Business Today!

Who Am I?

Hi, I’m John Fagerholm, an Employer Defense Attorney who has dedicated my career to protecting businesses like yours from unfair labor laws. I’m on a mission to help make California a better place to do business again.

In the mid-'90s, I left my hometown of Seattle and moved to Los Angeles to pursue my dream of a legal career. I enrolled in the rigorous and prestigious SCALE program at Southwestern University School of Law.

My journey into law began with a passion for the entertainment industry, and I initially became an entertainment attorney at one of the top firms in LA. I then took a step that many entrepreneurs can relate to—I founded my own law firm, M.E.T.A.L Law (Media, Entertainment, Technology, Action Sports, and Lifestyle Brands).

While the rewards of working in entertainment were fulfilling, I began noticing a disturbing trend. The California labor laws—already challenging for business owners—were becoming increasingly onerous and one-sided against employers. More and more entrepreneurs and business owners I knew were reaching out for help.

Why Choose Me?

I’m passionate about the rights of both employers and employees. While employees deserve fair treatment and respect, employers have their own set of rights that need to be respected as well. Unfortunately, California’s labor laws have become so punitive that it’s increasingly difficult for businesses to protect themselves without expert legal help.

I offer tailored solutions to businesses of all sizes, ensuring that you are protected from unfair labor claims and lawsuits. Whether you're dealing with complex labor law issues, wage disputes, or wrongful termination claims, I am here to defend your business and your interests.

What others are saying

"Saved my Small Business Thousands"

I hired John in the summer of 2015 to help my business with a labor issue. I was being sued by a disgruntled employee who made up some false claims. Johns firm was the only one I found that actually focused only only on helping employers. It was a very scary time but he was very reassuring, professional and in the end everything he told me came true. If you own a business in California and are having employee issues he is your guy. No question. - Steven
