Legal Work Experience
Mr. Cantor has extensive experience in legal work, having worked as investigator, law clerk and associate for various California law firms.
As investigator at Santa Cruz Public Defenders’ Office, he worked closely with attorneys on several criminal cases at once. He utilized skip-tracing techniques to locate, interview and subpoena witnesses. He researched witnesses' and clients' background information; and he prepared and wrote testimonial reports of witnesses as well as assisted trial preparation, trial exhibits, and testified in court as to witness and client interviews, and case facts.
As a Summer Associate for Disney/ABC Television Group, he worked with attorneys, sat in on negotiations and meetings involving business and legal issues such as licensing, copyright infringement, chain of title, and litigation.
He also worked as law clerk for Bet Tzedek Legal Services where he was involved on projects regarding Kinship Care, Holocaust Reparations, Housing, and Government Benefits.
All his experiences in legal work have prepared him for the more rigorous and busy life as an attorney who has represented clients in all aspects of labor, employment and immigration law—including cases involving wage and hour laws, class action lawsuits, independent contractor status, wrongful discharge, discrimination, sexual harassment, employee handbooks and personnel practices, union contract negotiation and grievance/arbitration, entertainment law, and immigration visas. His work has included: drafting contracts; drafting pleadings; visa applications; discovery; law and motion; oral argument; depositions; mediation and negotiation; arbitration; and jury trial. Mr. Cantor has also written eight articles published in the Daily Journal—California’s largest legal publication.
