We’re incredibly proud to announce that ten HSRD attorneys were selected for Lawdragon’s prestigious 500 Leading Lawyers awards this year.
Congratulations to Randy Renick, Cornelia Dai, Hanna Chandoo, David Washington, Morgan Ricketts, Brian Olney, Barbara Hadsell, and Dan Stormer in Pasadena and Isela Barrios and Valeria De Gonzalez of the Downtown LA office for this well-deserved recognition.
Lawdragon’s annual guide highlights the top attorneys advocating for workers’ rights and civil liberties across the country. Each year, Lawdragon researches thousands of lawyers nationwide through a combination of peer nominations, independent journalistic review, and vetting of professional achievements. Out of the more than 1.3 million lawyers practicing in the United States, only a small fraction is chosen for recognition — making this list one of the most selective in the profession. This honor reflects the dedication, impact, and tireless commitment of our attorneys to advancing justice and protecting the rights of individuals.
For decades, HSRD has been at the forefront of civil rights and employment law, securing precedent-setting victories, groundbreaking injunctions, and significant recoveries on behalf of those mistreated in workplaces and communities throughout California and beyond. Our firm’s work has shaped the law, empowered individuals, and held powerful institutions accountable.
