LOS ANGELES, CALIF., June 29, 2022 – V. James DeSimone has once again been recognized as one of the “Top Labor and Employment Lawyers” by the Daily Journal, California’s leading legal publication.
V. James DeSimone is currently preparing for trials in July and September involving religious discrimination, among other claims.

technician for the city of Westminster.
DeSimone also represents the family of a man who worked for Riverside County as an equipment services supervisor.
