Los Angeles, CA, September 26, 2011—Valensi Rose, PLC, a leading Los Angeles law firm, recently announced the addition of Gregory G. Gorman to the firm. Mr. Gorman is a commercial, real estate and employment law trial lawyer who for 25 years has successfully represented numerous clients in high profile cases and multi-million dollar claims.

“I’m thrilled to be joining a team of such talented and accomplished lawyers,” said Mr. Gorman. “They’re truly a group of outstanding attorneys that not only inspire me, but most importantly, motivate me to continue to excel at law.”

Mr. Gorman has been retained as trial counsel in numerous commercial real estate and employment law cases. He uses his litigation expertise as a tool to obtain efficient results for his clients. His high-profile cases include: A jury awarded his client more than $8 million for fraud; he defeated a claim for negligent misrepresentation and breach of contract even though his client did not disclose all of the problems challenging a shopping mall; and he defeated a wrongful termination claim in which the plaintiff and defendant were having an affair.

Mr. Gorman recently assisted a client through two workforce reductions and the termination of underperforming employees within the scope of the ADA, FMLA and ADEA – all without a lawsuit. He has represented both plaintiffs and defendants in wage and hour class actions.

Mr. Gorman teaches executive legal and ethical decision making, business modeling and business law in an organizational consulting doctoral program at Phillips Graduate Institute. He has been hired to train boards regarding their responsibilities and turnaround strategies.
