Geoffrey Chackel has practiced employment law in Southern California for 23 years and has the experience and sophistication necessary to address your complex workplace dispute.

Chackel Law represents employees asserting nearly all types of employment claims including lawsuits for:

  • violation of whistleblower protection statutes

  • disability discrimination
  • racial discrimination
  • medical and family-based leaves of absence
  • wage and hour matters
  • and trade secret lawsuits

In addition, he provides pre-lawsuit and workplace separation counseling services to executive level employees such as severance negotiations, contract reviews and trade-secret guidance designed to ensure the employee’s rights are protected as they transition into a new opportunity.

Client Reviews

Outstanding Experience - Excellent Attorney!
My experience with Geoff was exceptional. Geoff worked a multi- year, very complex employment case in which I am very pleased with the end result. From the very first call until the final day, Geoff listened and advised with great detail and communicated continually with care. Having worked with many attorneys, I can safely say that Geoff's attention to detail, knowledge of the law, ability to handle multiple depositions and legal writing skills are outstanding. What really sets Geoff apart is the comfort and care he puts into his relationship with the client. I truly felt taken care of from beginning to end. Would hire again without hesitation.

Complex Case
I hired Geoff Chackel to help out with a difficult and complex employment discrimination case. It was an overwhelming time for my family and me and Geoff was able to translate an unfamiliar "legal world" into a process and words we could understand. He was strong, persistent and articulate and took the time to really get to know my case. I could not be happier with the service Geoff provided.

Great attorney!
Geoff has a level of expertise that spans many areas, is detail-oriented, highly ethical, and dependable. In my particular case, he also freely made himself available outside normal business hours, when required. I've continued to retain Geoff for additional legal services and would recommend him to a close friend or family member.

Oregon Labor Law Issues
Geoff has been there every step of the way. He has been there from the first casual conversation regarding my situation in my place of business before ever even hiring him. When I called him two months later to hire him he was right there. He has conducted witness interviews on Holidays and took care of everything for me when I was unavailable on my vacation. Matters are still not solved but he continues to look after me and my best interest. Dealing with lawyers is never fun but having Geoff on my team is one of the bright spots during this whole process.
