Nuestro equipo
Rise Law Firm represents employees only. Our partners, Eliot J. Rushovich and Lisa Watanabe-Peagler, represented companies at long-established Los Angeles law firms before devoting their practices to representing employees, and that experience informs how we evaluate and pursue each client’s claims. Associate Attorney Elissa Waizman focuses her practice on harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and wrongful termination matters.
Our legal administrative assistant and intake specialist work with clients from the first call through the resolution of their case. Our intake specialist speaks Spanish.
