Why Arlo Uriarte Is Different

Practice Areas

Arlo Uriarte represents employees exclusively — never employers — across all areas of California employment and labor law:

Committed to the Bay Area Community

The Mission District office is not incidental. San Francisco has one of California's most established Latino communities — and also some of the most aggressive employers when it comes to wage violations and workplace discrimination. Arlo chose to build his practice in the center of that community because that is where meaningful representation is most needed.

Arlo has argued cases in state and federal courts throughout Northern California: San Francisco Superior Court at 400 McAllister Street, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District at 450 Golden Gate Avenue, and courts in Oakland, San Jose, Napa, Sonoma, and beyond. In class actions and PAGA cases, he has developed the legal depth these cases require — and the resolve to take them to trial when employers refuse a fair settlement.

Beyond the Courtroom

Arlo understands that employment cases are not abstract legal disputes — they are crises in the lives of real people. A terminated worker has bills to pay, a family to support, and a dignity to defend. That is why his practice style combines legal aggressiveness with direct communication: clients always know where their case stands and why.
