Costanzo Law Firm, APC: San Jose Employee-Side Litigation in Spanish and Portuguese, With a Trial-Ready Mediation Practice

By Expert Attorneys

Costanzo Law Firm, APC is a San Jose employment practice that represents employees in state and federal courts throughout the Bay Area and that offers services in Spanish and Portuguese. Founding partner Lori J. Costanzo leads a team with more than 25 years of litigation experience. Senior attorneys Carlos Rosario and Luiza Dias, associate attorney Zara Ashtiani, and of counsel Frank Zeccola practice with the firm. The office develops an individualized strategy for each client, pursues resolution through mediation or arbitration when that will resolve the dispute, and remains prepared for trial.

The employee-side docket includes wrongful termination, discrimination, retaliation, disability accommodation, equal pay, wage and hour, whistleblower, and sexual harassment claims. Business litigation, personal injury, and private mediation are also part of the practice, so a client who came in on a workplace claim is not sent to a second firm if a later business dispute or an injury file is what needs to be filed.

The firm serves San Jose, Palo Alto, Los Gatos, Campbell, Santa Clara, and the greater Santa Clara County area, with its practice focused on clients throughout the Bay Area. The office is at 111 W. St. John Street, Suite 700, in San Jose. The firm's Google rating is 4.4 from 92 reviews.

An equal-pay or whistleblower claim, a disability-accommodation dispute, and a mediation in Spanish or Portuguese can all stay in the same St. John Street office, with a trial plan ready if negotiation does not end the case. That bilingual, trial-ready structure is how Lori Costanzo built the practice.

Wage-and-hour and disability-accommodation claims are distinct from a sexual-harassment or retaliation filing, and both are handled in the San Jose office. Private mediation is available as a standalone service, not only as a step inside a case the firm is already litigating.
