LOS ANGELES PIT BULL LAWYERS:MAGAZINE May, 2000 Who Are the Roughest, Toughest ATTORNEYS in Town? They're in the Rolodex of every good white-shoe lawyer in town. Somewhere between the numbers for the Jaguar dealer, Pacific Dining Car and Two Bunch Palms are the names - and it is a short list - of attorneys who are called only in certain situations. What these lawyers possess is the proven ability to go all the way, to a jury trial if necessary, and play by whatever rules are laid down to save their client's freedom or fortune in a civil or criminal matter. On the other hand, when one of them makes a phone call or send a demand letter, arguments are often settled quickly...and quietly. *** YOU'RE FIRED! When wrongful termination suits go to trial, no lawyers in L.A. are better at getting juries to sympathize with their plaintiff's side than the team of PHILIP GANZ JR. and LAURIE SUSAN GORSLINE. Ganz and Gorsline, who've worked together for 12 years, are widely acknowledged as the best at representing terminated noncontracted executives who earn more than $100,000 a year. Their reputation comes from having scored huge jury verdicts for their clients against the toughest competing litigators. In 1997, a jury awarded $4.5 million to a Ganz-Gorsline client after it found that a real estate firm wrongfully terminated him for whistle-blowing on tax code violations. *** Other opposing lawyers praise the pair for their doggedness in pretrial work. Ganz, 51, a University of Michigan law grad, and Loyola law grad Gorsline, 40, say that the gigantic awards they've secured are a strong deterrent to employers who are thinking of showing a worker the door.
