San Francisco Bay Area
If you've experienced harassment, discrimination, or retaliation at work in California, you deserve more than sympathy — you deserve an attorney who understands how these systems work and how to dismantle them. I founded the Law Offices of Amber Lee Bissell to represent employees — not employers, not insurance companies, only employees. I handle harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and wrongful termination cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing unless we win. My academic background sets this practice apart. I hold an M.Sc. in Gender and Social Policy from the London School of Economics — not a credential you'll find at many employment law firms — and I've spent over a decade researching and publishing on the institutional structures that enable workplace discrimination and gender-based violence. I don't just litigate these cases; I understand the systems behind them. I'm a Super Lawyers Rising Star (2022, 2023, 2024), a member of CELA, SFTLA, and BASF, and I've served in leadership roles with the San Francisco Women's Political Committee. My practice is focused exclusively on the San Francisco Bay Area and California. If you think you may have a claim, I offer consultations and I'd encourage you to reach out. The sooner you speak with an attorney, the better your options. 📩 [email protected] | amberleelaw.com | (415) 870-1357
