His experience includes workplace discrimination, sexual harassment, and retaliation cases under California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA); representative wage and hour actions under California’s Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA); and discrimination cases brought pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the California Unruh Civil Rights Act, including website accessibility lawsuits.

Through his previous work as a career law clerk for an unlimited civil department at the Los Angeles County Superior Court, Shane has a unique perspective on the judges in the superior court at all stages of litigation from the pleadings stage through trial.
