About

Pieter has represented employees since his work with the California Department of Fair Employment & Housing and San Francisco Employment Rights Center, including attorneys who have been wrongfully terminated and needed a proven and experienced advocate themselves.  He has the respect of colleagues, adversaries and clients, as demonstrated by the following testimonials. Pieter Bogaards is a worthy adversary: loyal to his clients, tenacious, honest and pragmatic.Neil J. Moran, Esq. Partner in the Freitas Law Firm, LLP Pieter has been generously giving of his time, patience and expertise to our employment law clients since 1998.  We have shared many victories and I look to Pieter for further advice and assistance in the future.Nancy MurphyPro Bono Program ManagerLegal Aid of Marin I have consulted with Pieter on a number of cases.  He has excellent, incisive litigation skills and practical judgment.  Whenever we talk about litigation issues I always come away with something valuable. Pieter’s clients are in good hands.Julian M. Baum, Esq. Julian M. Baum & Associates Stunned to be fired, I found myself with no option but to sue my former friends, my former law firm.  Pieter stepped up to represent me in the contentious discrimination case that followed the firm's threat to "bury me" if I dared to take action.  Our first mediator said no judge would find the time to even read the briefs, because the privilege issues were so complex.  In the face of a grinding, aggressive defense, resulting in a 61-page court docket, Pieter pressed on to methodically address sensitive attorney-client privilege issues, including an anti-SLAPP motion grounded in the litigation privilege.  While they tried to get us to rely on privileged evidence, Pieter strategically grounded the case on unprivileged information in the public record.  Pieter won motion after motion.  He persevered and prevailed, ultimately restoring my own faith in the court system.  Shelley Kramer, Esq.Attorney with Clasen, Raffalow & Rhoads

I have known Pieter Bogaards for over twenty five years both professionally and personally. Pieter has helped me with several complex legal issues and each time he has come through and delivered. Pieter does what he says he is going to do and more. He stands up for his clients and does not back down even against bigger well-funded adversaries. There is no one more ethical than him, and he would be the first person I would call with any legal issue. Ian D. Berman Director Private Equity Services McGladrey LLP

Wrongful termination cases are hard enough. Cases by a lawyer against a law firm are brutal. Starts with the firing, when people you liked and trusted suddenly turn their backs and say "it's you" not them, to hide their true motivation. When we were left no option but litigation, Pieter skillfully navigated through a host of legal traps and pitfalls, until finally they were hung by their own rope. His tenacity and attention to detail paid off handsomely. Highly recommended.

Pieter Bogaards recently represented my business in a case. During the entire process, I found him to be extremely efficient and tenacious, while also extremely informative and cost effective. In the end, he was successful in achieving a plaintiff filed Motion for Summary Judgment in my company's favor. Overall, he was attentive and a pleasure to work with. If I ever have the need again, I would hire Pieter to represent my company.
