Ricardo Baca is an associate in the San Diego office and  focuses on representing employers in workplace law litigation and providing preventative advice and counseling.

Ricardo has significant litigation experience as a defense attorney.  He has handled a multitude of civil cases ranging from single party wrongful termination claims to a complex case with 60-plaintiffs suing a single entity.  Ricardo’s litigation style is to be proactive and hands-on in each of his cases.  He handles cases from inception to conclusion.  He has jury trial experience and recognizes that some cases need to be tried when a reasonable resolution cannot be reached.  Ricardo has handled claims in both state and federal courts.
