Firm Information
Overview
At The Law Office of Scott R. Herndon, PC, based in Berkeley, California, we stand as a nationally recognized plaintiffs’ practice within walking distance of one of America’s foremost universities. Focusing on serious personal injury, civil sexual assault and workplace harassment litigation, our attorneys combine rigorous scholarship with zealous advocacy. We publish peer-reviewed articles in scientific and philosophical journals, available freely on our website, to inform every facet of our legal work and reinforce our dedication to excellence.
Serving communities across the state, we guide clients and their families through the aftermath of catastrophic injuries caused by intentional, reckless or negligent acts. We also manage high-profile employment disputes, representing an elite clientele that values dignity and community standing. Our team navigates complex cases with precision, safeguarding our clients’ lives and reputations.
California law empowers survivors of sexual abuse with extended filing periods: up to 10 years from the abusive act or three years from the discovery of related injuries. Since January 2020, adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse may file claims until age 40 or within five years of discovery, with a three-year revival window for previously time-barred claims. We leverage these protections to hold wrongdoers and negligent employers accountable, helping survivors pursue justice in a safe, supportive environment.
Founded in 2018 by Scott R. Herndon, our practice was born of his work as a clerk for the Contra Costa District Attorney’s Office, an advocate for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, and later in corporate defense. Witnessing systemic injustices inspired him to harness institutional tools for the benefit of ordinary people.
We offer flexible virtual appointments, secure credit card payment options and complimentary initial consultations. When you choose The Law Office of Scott R. Herndon, PC, you place your case in the hands of a team that blends intellectual rigor with compassionate representation and is unwavering in its pursuit of justice on your behalf.
