| About Our Firm
JACKSON & ASSOCIATES is devoted to the representation of
individuals who have been injured or whose rights have been violated.
Our background and experience in serving as outside trial counsel
for several Fortune 500 corporations [in breach of contract, tort,
toxic tort, severe personal injuries, product liability, and wrongful
death cases] has prepared us to better respond to the strategies and
tactics we are likely to encounter in litigating against corporate defendants.
For example, Samuel G. Jackson, Jr. has tried well over 100 cases,
mostly to juries in California and federal courts. He has defended a
major automobile manufacturer on a defective seat belt claim. In that case,
the plaintiff claimed damages for severe bodily injuries, including
a closed head trauma and neuro-psychological damage. The jury returned a defense verdict.
Besides corporate clients, JACKSON & ASSOCIATES also has defended
the Air Quality Management District in personal injury and wrongful death cases.
JACKSON & ASSOCIATES has also successfully settled toxic tort cases for
clients including Borden and Montsanto. One such case involved a wrongful
death claim that the decedent had been exposed to a cocktail of chemical
substance which occasioned a relatively rare form of cancer and lead to
his death. Another case involved dozens of plaintiff's who alleged their
exposure to various film lab substances occasioned respiratory dermatological
and other serious ailments Each of these cases was settled on our
clients behalf for a modest sum.
Skilled Employment Law Attorneys
For more than a decade, JACKSON & ASSOCIATES has focused on employment
law matters in both state and federal courts, for Plaintiffs and Defendants.
We have handled charges of race, gender, nationality, age, pregnancy
and disability discrimination/harassment and attendant allegations of
infliction of emotional distress, negligent hiring and retention, and defamation.
In addition, Samuel G. Jackson, Jr. currently serves as an arbitrator on the
Special Employment Panel of the American Arbitration Association.
He has arbitrated a wide variety of cases involving such entities as
hospitals, mortgage companies, security organizations, a national
chain of discount stores, an internet cable TV company, a national
seller of automotive parts and an internationally renowned hotel chain.
Other of our activities involve giving seminars to lawyers and the
business community on the subject of workplace harassment and
discrimination. Thus, over the past several years, we have
conducted seminars for the Real Estate Section of the State Bar of
California, UCLA Extension and the California Minority Counsel Program.
All of these programs were approved for Continuing Legal Education credit.
