The purpose of this website is to inform our clients, friends and visitors about California Workplace Law and Attorney Elisabeth A. DeBartolo. It is not intended nor should it be used as a substitute for specific legal advice, since legal advice may be given only in response to inquiries regarding particular situations. While we would like to hear from you, an attorney/client relationship cannot be established until we know that doing so will not create a conflict of interest and until we sign an attorney/client agreement setting out the terms of representation.
