A Trial Attorney Built for the Cases Others Walk Away From
Mohamed Eldessouky founded Eldessouky Law with one conviction: employees deserve the same tenacious, trial-ready representation that corporations receive. For over 14 years, he has fought for workers facing wrongful termination, sexual harassment, disability discrimination, and retaliation — taking cases to verdict when other firms settle short.
His record speaks plainly. In Fonseca v. Walmart, he secured a $34.7 million jury verdict — one of the largest employment verdicts in California history. That outcome was not luck. It was the result of years of preparation, intimate knowledge of employment law, and an unflinching commitment to standing in front of a jury and telling a client's story clearly.
Mohamed grew up understanding the cost of workplace injustice. That understanding is what drives him into the courtroom when settlement money is on the table and the path of least resistance would be to fold.
Any problem that is man-made can be solved by man. When an employer breaks the law, the law has an answer — and I intend to use it.
Trial-Ready From Day One
Many employment law firms operate on volume — taking scores of cases and resolving them at the earliest settlement opportunity. Mohamed builds cases the opposite way: as if every matter will go to trial. That posture changes how evidence is gathered, how depositions are taken, and how clients are prepared.
Employers and their defense counsel know the difference between a firm that wants to settle and a firm that wants to win at trial. When opposing counsel understands that Mohamed is prepared to take a case to a jury, settlement values change accordingly.
The result is not just better outcomes for individual clients — it sets a standard of accountability that raises the cost of workplace misconduct for every employer who encounters it.
Selected Case Results

Settlement for an employee who was laid off while on medical leave.
An arbitration AWARD following a weeklong evidentiary hearing for an employee who was terminated for making complaints of a hostile work environment and inappropriate sexual comments at work.
Recovery for an employee who spoke out against ongoing racial harassment and a hostile work environment. The company failed to take meaningful action, violating California workplace protection laws.
