Lipel Law (Law Offices of Katherine Lipel) represents people whose lives have been disrupted by someone else's carelessness or by an employer who broke the law. We handle two kinds of cases: personal injury and employment law. Our job is to explain your rights in plain language, handle the insurance companies and employers, and pursue the full compensation California law allows.
Katherine Lipel has been a member of the State Bar of California since 1997 and has spent more than 25 years representing clients. She earned her undergraduate degree from UCLA and her law degree from Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, and she is a member of the California Lawyers Association's Labor and Employment Law Section. Kathy runs her practice in Los Angeles and represents injured people and employees throughout California.
Kathy believes that people who are hurt, or treated unfairly at work, deserve a lawyer who explains their options in plain language and fights for every dollar the law allows. A serious injury or a lost job can upend a family's finances overnight, and she treats every client's case with that in mind.
