Two partners. One vertical.
Both sides of the table.
An exclusive practice in the law of work.
MG Legal represents clients in complex employment matters — discrimination and retaliation, wage-and-hour, whistleblower, FMLA, defamation, and post-employment disputes. We don’t dabble. It is what we do, every day.
For the employer and the employee.
We advise companies on hiring, separation, and compliance risk — and we represent professionals when something has gone wrong. Working both sides of the table makes us a sharper advocate on whichever side a client retains us.
You hire a partner, you work with a partner.
Two partners lead every matter — Larry McGuinness, founding partner since 1995, and Juliana Gonzalez, partner. Cases are not handed down a chain of associates. Continuity is the point.
Most employment matters never see a courtroom. We prepare every one as if it will.
- Aligned
Flat fees and engagement caps when the matter allows.
- Direct
You speak with the partner running your case. Always.
- Patient
We move when it serves you, not when it bills well.
- Trial-ready
Every matter prepared for the courtroom from day one.
