ABOUT GAULIN LAW, APC
A Mother and California Employment Lawyer’s Mission to End Workplace Discrimination and Retaliation
Michelle Gaulin, Esq. founded Gaulin Law, APC after spending a decade specializing in derivative and securities class actions. She also has extensive experience in qui tam litigation, representing whistleblowers in cases of corporate fraud and misconduct. But it was her journey into motherhood that revealed a troubling pattern she couldn't ignore.
As a woman, mother of twins, and attorney with nearly 15 years of legal experience, Michelle recognized that workplace discrimination cases required more than general employment law expertise. They demand an advocate who understands both the legal complexities and the emotional toll of being penalized for your gender, age, or decision to have a family.
What Sets Our Approach Apart
At Gaulin Law, we focus exclusively on women's workplace rights because we believe specialized advocacy gets better results. Michelle's background as a former auditor, corporate financial investigator, and Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Accounting, gives her unique insight into how discrimination impacts your career trajectory and long-term earning potential. This knowledge shapes how we calculate your damages, fight for the compensation you deserve, and hold companies accountable.
We take time to truly hear your story.
We explain legal concepts in plain language.
We keep you informed throughout your case.
We fight for both legal justice and your dignity.
Our Commitment to Accessible Justice
Justice shouldn't depend on your bank account. We know that losing your job creates financial stress that makes hiring an attorney feel impossible. That's why we work on contingency, meaning you pay nothing unless we secure compensation for you.
*Note: Severance negotiations are handled separately from our contingency fee structure.
What this means:
No upfront legal fees
We're invested in achieving the best possible outcome
You can focus on your well-being while we handle the legal fight
Access to specialized expertise regardless of your financial situation
