Our Mission

Justice Law Corporation comes from humble yet noble beginnings. Founded by Douglas Han in 2013, inspired by the plight of aggrieved oil workers in Kern County, Justice Law Corporation has grown from being the ambitious dream of one man into a resilient force to be reckoned with.

We see it as our privilege to advocate for hard-working men and women by providing them with a skilled and resourceful team to amplify their voices.

Our work has statewide reach and is effecting change in every industry to protect both the rights of workers today and for future generations.

We seek to establish a relationship of trust and motivation where team members have all the resources to put their best foot forward in all that they do.

So, in addition to advocating for workers rights every day, we contribute to charitable organizations and offer myriad opportunities for team members to volunteer and extend a helping hand to those who need it.
