Biography

Todd P. Ausherman specializes in plaintiff employment actions, while also representing corporations and other business entities in the areas of real estate, contract drafting and disputes, and employment compliance. He is experienced in both the court room and in administrative hearings and has an impeccable record at the negotiating table.

In 2006, he formed The Ausherman Law Group (“ALG”) as a litigation based law firm specializing in labor and employment law, and later expanded the firm’s practice into real estate compliance and contract drafting and negotiating. Mr. Ausherman has represented numerous employees in the County of San Diego in front of the California Labor Commissioner in actions to collect unpaid wages and overtime. His experience has given him specialized knowledge of the California Labor Code and the intricacies of the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE) which administers and enforces the labor statues and regulations in the State of California.

In addition to his plaintiff’s work, Mr. Ausherman has been hired by multiple California companies to implement employment procedures including the drafting of employment contracts, independent contractor agreements, employee handbooks, installing proper termination policies, branch manager agreements, structuring HR polices and defense representation of employers against former employees from unjust claims.

Prior to forming ALG, Mr. Ausherman worked with the Employee Rights Center focusing on Plaintiff's claims against their current and former employers and AFSCME Local 127 as union employee representative in litigation before the Civil Service Commission.
