A Top-Rated Law Firm
Strauss Law Group has achieved the highest rating or any law firm in the United States. For over 20 years, our peers in the legal community have given us the coveted "AV" rating. That means a lot to us, because it shows that fellow lawyers -- adversaries and co-counsel alike -- respect our ability and ethics.
Our clients have also given us highest praise on Avvo.com, where Tony Strauss has a perfect 10.0 rating and Michael Strauss is rated 9.2.
A Family Business
Strauss Law Group is a family business. Tony Strauss practices with his son, Michael Strauss, and Bruce Crary, who has worked with Tony for over 11 years. The advantages of having a family business/law firm like Strauss Law Group include:
- Common values: As a family business, our attorneys share the same ethos and beliefs on how things should be done. This gives us an extra sense of purpose and pride, and our business -- and our clients -- a competitive edge.
- Strong commitment: Building a lasting family enterprise means we are more likely to put in the extra hours and effort needed to make it a success.
- Loyalty: Our strong personal bonds mean we stick together in hard times and show the determination needed for business success.
As you can imagine, these advantages directly translate into benefits for our clients. For proof, see the testimonials below.
Decades of Success at All Levels
The attorneys at Strauss Law Group have over 50 years of combined experience in representing businesses and individuals, both in and out of court. Tony Strauss has even taken cases all the way to the United States Supreme Court.
Our litigation successes include successfully defending (i.e., $0 verdicts) for countless employers in harassment and discrimination lawsuits. When we represent individuals, we have similar success, including an $800,000+ settlement for an executive who was wrongfully denied accrued benefits at his termination. Our class actions have culminated in thousands of dollars returned to class members whose wages were wrongfully withheld.
Committed to Community Service
Our attorneys make a point of giving back to the community. Tony Strauss currently serves as President of the Ventura County Bar Association and is the Past-President of the Ventura Music Festival. Michael Strauss is now the President of the Barristers of the Ventura County Bar Association and sits on the board of directors for numerous non-profit organizations. Bruce Crary is a director of Jodi House, a nonprofit corporation established to provide services to adults with acquired brain injury in Santa Barbara County. Together, we represent various nonprofits as their general counsel.

Client Testimonials

Kipp Financial Group
"We've been using employment contracts drafted by Strauss Law Group for years, and we have always been satisfied with their product. I also know from experience what happens when you use a poorly drafted employment agreement, and has caused my business nothing but problems. I highly recommend Strauss Law Group for all your employment law needs."
