Law Offices of Waukeen McCoy

San Francisco Employment Law, Civil Rights & Personal Injury Attorney

State and federal laws are clear with regard to every person's fundamental rights. When those rights are violated, victims deserve a strong voice from an attorney with the ability to protect them. I am California attorney Waukeen McCoy, and I have been fighting against unjust employment practices and civil rights violations for 20 years.

Before church networks spent nearly $40 million to pass Prop 8, which banned future same-sex marriages in California, I was the lawyer who successfully defended marriage equality for same-sex couples before the California Supreme Court. I have successfully litigated workplace discrimination claims against Fortune 500 companies, including winning one of the nation's largest discrimination verdicts for $132 million against the parent company of Wonder Bread.*

Fearlessly Taking a Stand Against All Forms of Injustice

I have been referred to as one of the most feared and revered attorneys in San Francisco, and I am proud of that reputation. It speaks directly to the level of commitment I give to every client and the passionate approach I take to every case. The law was put in place to protect everyone's rights. Whenever an individual's or group's rights are violated, I will be there to fight for them.

As your San Francisco employment attorney, I fight against wrongful termination, sexual harassment and discrimination based on race, gender or sexual orientation. As your Bay Area civil rights lawyer, I work to protect your rights if you have been the victim of police brutality or excessive force. My firm also represents victims who have been injured in accidents that were caused due to the negligence of another.
