Shelley K. Mack, Esq.

Shelley is a dedicated and knowledgeable advocate with a 25-year legal career representing both large institutions and everyday workers. She began her career in patent and securities litigation with AM Law 100 firms Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP and Fish & Richardson P.C., where she advanced from associate to partner.

Ten years ago, Shelley shifted her focus to exclusively represent California workers in plaintiff-side employment, wage-and-hour, and civil rights cases. She has successfully represented clients in discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wrongful termination matters in court, arbitration, mediation, and before the California Labor Board. She’s also been lead counsel on numerous wage-and-hour and class actions, producing outstanding results for workers across the state.

Shelley is committed to pro bono work, having represented clients in civil rights cases involving 1st, 4th, 8th, and 14th Amendment violations, including challenges to anti-homeless ordinances and a successful death-penalty habeas appeal.

She holds a B.A. in Political Philosophy from the Johnston Center at the University of Redlands and a J.D. from Boalt Hall at UC Berkeley.

Outside of work, Shelley enjoys spending time with her husband and their 16-year-old daughter, Zoe, hiking the Humboldt County coast and redwoods, reading California history and science fiction, and attending live music shows with her family.
