Mr. Trujillo’s practice focuses on plaintiff-side civil litigation involving serious harm — including employment discrimination and retaliation, wage and hour class actions, civil rights claims, environmental nuisance and toxic exposure, cannabis regulatory and business disputes, and complex multi-party commercial litigation. He represents individuals, employees, businesses, and communities.

He holds a Juris Doctor from Pepperdine University School of Law in Malibu, a Master of Business Administration, and a Certificate in Dispute Resolution, and earned his B.S. in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance from La Sierra University.

Trujillo & Winnick LLP evaluates serious civil matters case by case. Some matters may be handled on a contingency-fee basis, depending on the case type, facts, conflicts review, and written engagement agreement. Fee arrangements, including responsibility for costs, are confirmed in a written engagement agreement before representation begins. Whether a client is responsible for costs advanced by the firm if there is no recovery is addressed in the written fee agreement.
