Aaron Gbewonyo
Managing Trial Attorney
Shegerian & Associates
Over the past several years, Aaron Gbewonyo has emerged as one of the most dynamic and successful employment law litigators in California. Gbewonyo advances the legal landscape in areas that are often under-protected, such as whistleblower rights, age discrimination, and good-faith employment practices.
Among Gbewonyo’s most significant accomplishments is his recent role as lead counsel in Ruelas v. City of Baldwin Park. In this case, Gbewonyo represented a long-time city employee who alleged she was wrongfully forced to resign in retaliation for exposing misconduct involving the misuse of federal housing funds and for reporting racially charged comments made by the city’s CEO. Under Gbewonyo’s leadership, the case highlighted the systemic failures that undermine public trust.
