Gonzalo Quezada — Defending Workers' Rights Across California

Gonzalo Quezada is an employment attorney committed to protecting workers' rights and holding employers accountable. His practice centers on wage-and-hour litigation — including unpaid wages, overtime violations, meal and rest break claims, and worker misclassification — as well as cases involving discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation, and wrongful termination.

Gonzalo has significant experience in class and representative actions, including claims brought under the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Prior to joining Liberation Law Group, he developed his litigation skills at a boutique class action firm in Oakland, California, where he built a strong foundation in complex employment matters. He has handled all phases of litigation — from pre-suit investigation and discovery through motion practice and trial preparation.

He approaches each case with a detail-driven, strategic mindset and is committed to delivering diligent representation and meaningful results for his clients. Outside the office, Gonzalo enjoys trail running, traveling, and cooking.

A Full-Cycle Litigator

Gonzalo has handled every phase of an employment case, from pre-suit investigation through trial preparation:

That end-to-end coverage means your case is never handed off from one associate to another as it progresses — the attorney who understands your situation from day one is the same one arguing on your behalf when it matters most.

Practice Areas

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

Whether you are an individual worker or part of a larger group of employees affected by the same violations, Gonzalo has the experience to pursue justice on your behalf.

Class Action and PAGA Experience

Gonzalo's time at the Oakland boutique class action firm gave him a specialized skill set that few employment attorneys possess: he knows how to build and litigate cases that affect entire groups of workers. PAGA claims — which allow one employee to represent all employees affected by labor violations — and class actions under the FLSA require a level of procedural strategy and coordination that goes well beyond individual case work.

If you suspect the violations you are facing also affect your coworkers, that collective dimension can significantly increase the leverage your case carries and the pressure on the employer to settle fairly.

Beyond the Courtroom

Gonzalo believes that understanding the full range of human experience makes him a better advocate. Outside the office, he recharges by trail running, traveling, and cooking — activities that keep his perspective fresh and his commitment to his clients well grounded.
