Noelle Brookins
Managing attorney
Runs the clinic and takes the wage and firing cases that need to go to court.
Our lawyers
Three lawyers, all on the worker’s side
Three lawyers who only represent workers, with a paralegal, volunteers and interpreters behind them.
Bogdan Wierzbicki
Founder and volunteer counsel
Started the clinic after forty years of representing workers, and still reads every severance agreement that comes in on Saturday.
Masaki Okubo
Staff attorney
Handles retaliation and severance matters, and leads the clinic’s evening sessions.
More hands than three
Law students from nearby schools help prepare wage claims under our lawyers’ supervision. Volunteer interpreters sit in on meetings in Arabic, Bengali and Spanish. And a small group of retired union stewards help us explain what a workplace really looks like from the floor.
