LOS ANGELES, Sept. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Harris & Hayden Law Firm (formerly Harris & Associates) is celebrating its 40th anniversary of providing world-class legal services to California and the nation. The full-service firm was founded in 1980, specializing in corporate law, government contracts, and tax law, but it developed into a leader in the fight against all forms of discrimination over the years.

Today, H&H specializes in cases regarding police brutality and misconduct, excessive force, false arrest, and more, and the firm boasts a stunning track record of winning major settlements. H&H also represents clients in labor and employment discrimination and in municipal law. In everything it does, H&H is a champion of civil and constitutional rights.

"As we enter our fifth decade, Harris & Hayden Law Firm is committed to championing equality for all people. Through our litigation, we have fought racism and unfair practices that perpetuate inequalities. We are proud to lead the way in civil rights law while thoughtfully working on behalf of our clients to produce profound, long-lasting societal change," said H&H founder and partner, John Harris.

"In 40 years, our firm has led the way in developing a substantial reputation," says Herbert Hayden, H&H founder and partner. "As we enter our fifth decade, Harris & Hayden Law Firm continue to litigate high-profile, intricate cases. National exposure has been great for our firm, but more importantly, we look forward to continuing key relationships with our clients and our legacy of excellence."
