About Brian Louis

Brian Louis, Esq. is an Associate Attorney at Wilshire Law Firm, specializing in labor and employment litigation, with a focus on wage and hour class actions and Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) claims. His professional philosophy emphasizes diligence, precision, and clear communication in guiding clients through the complexities of the court system. Brian's proudest legal achievement came when he interviewed dozens of class members to secure key witnesses in a discrimination case, reinforcing the value of thorough investigation and the willingness of employees to support one another. He also drafted the successful opposition to summary judgment and helped prepare the same class action for trial, which ultimately achieved a landmark $40 million settlement.

Brian was inspired to become an attorney after growing up in a working-class family and seeing how employees are often underpaid and overworked. Witnessing how the justice system favors corporations and allows employers to cut corners motivated him to advocate for working people and ensure employers follow the law. Outside of his legal work, Brian enjoys spending time with his wife and son, exploring the outdoors on hikes, catching the latest movies and TV shows, and discovering new spots around Los Angeles. "We educated, privileged lawyers have a professional and moral duty to represent the underrepresented in our society, to ensure that justice exists for all, both legal and economic justice." - Sonia Sotomayor
