LOS ANGELES, Sept. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Harris & Hayden Law Firm (formerly Harris & Associates) is celebrating its 40th anniversary of providing world-class legal services to California and the nation.

H&H also represents clients in labor and employment discrimination and in municipal law. In everything it does, H&H is a champion of civil and constitutional rights.

"In 40 years, our firm has led the way in developing a substantial reputation," says Herbert Hayden, H&H founder and partner. "As we enter our fifth decade, Harris & Hayden Law Firm continue to litigate high-profile, intricate cases.
