Joshua Epstein brings a strong public interest litigation background to Sexual Harassment Law Firm CA, where he has served since June 2023. As a dedicated advocate for workers and consumers, Joshua focuses on expanding access to justice while ensuring that corporations face accountability for legal violations and that the legal profession maintains its ethical standards.

Multi-Faceted Practice Areas

Joshua’s practice at Sexual Harassment Law Firm CA encompasses multiple areas of plaintiff representation, reflecting his versatile litigation skills and commitment to protecting individual rights. His caseload includes individual employment litigation involving workplace harassment, discrimination, and other employment violations, wage and hour class action lawsuits representing groups of employees against non-compliant employers, and legal malpractice cases that hold attorneys accountable for professional negligence.

This diverse practice allows Joshua to serve clients across various circumstances where they have been harmed by more powerful entities, whether employers or legal professionals who have failed in their duties.

Public Service Foundation and Federal Court Experience

Before joining Sexual Harassment Law Firm CA, Joshua demonstrated his commitment to public service through his work at Bet Tzedek Legal Services, where he provided crucial legal representation to indigent tenants facing eviction during the challenging circumstances of the pandemic. This experience defending vulnerable individuals against displacement reinforced his dedication to protecting those who lack resources to advocate for themselves.

Joshua’s federal court expertise was developed through his clerkship with the Honorable Alistair E. Newbern in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. This federal clerkship provided him with invaluable insight into judicial decision-making processes, federal court procedures, and complex litigation management that enhances his effectiveness in employment and class action cases.

Legal Education and Public Interest Focus

Joshua earned his law degree from the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law in 2017, where he completed specialized training through the Public Interest and Social Justice Certificate program. This certificate program reflects his long-standing commitment to using legal skills for social good and representing underserved populations who often face systemic disadvantages.

His legal education at Berkeley Law, combined with the Public Interest and Social Justice Certificate, provided him with both traditional legal training and specialized knowledge about representing marginalized communities and addressing institutional inequities through litigation.

Academic Foundation and Multi-State Practice

Joshua’s undergraduate education was completed at the University of Chicago in 2012, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree. The rigorous academic environment at the University of Chicago developed his analytical thinking and research skills that serve him well in complex litigation matters.

Joshua is licensed to practice law in California, New York, and Tennessee, enabling him to represent clients across multiple jurisdictions and handle cases with interstate implications. This multi-state bar admission reflects his broad legal training and commitment to serving clients wherever their legal needs arise.

Professional Philosophy and Client Advocacy

Throughout his career, Joshua has maintained a consistent focus on using litigation as a tool for social justice and corporate accountability. His approach to employment law, class actions, and legal malpractice cases reflects his belief that legal representation should be accessible to all individuals, regardless of their economic circumstances or the power of the entities they face.

Joshua’s combination of federal court experience, public service background, and specialized public interest training makes him particularly effective at representing employees who have suffered workplace violations and consumers who have been harmed by corporate misconduct.
