Steve L. Hernandez
Of Counsel
DLA Piper
Steve L. Hernandez advises clients in a broad range of industries, from representing production companies and studios in the entertainment space to restaurants, concessionaires, warehouses, hospitality industry clients, and trucking companies. He devotes his practice to assisting clients with all manner of labor and employment-related issues, including advising on labor-management relations and on all areas of California employment law and addressing individual and class action cases in state and federal court as well as before the NLRB.
A bilingual child of Mexican immigrants, Hernandez brings an uncommon and valuable perspective to his work. Not only does he come from a working-class background, his father was a carpenter and his mother worked in golf-course kitchens for decades‚ his non-traditional legal career has given him a broad and uncommon perspective that he uses in guiding his clients.
