Attorney Gina Browne is a partner at Feldman Browne, APC. She has devoted her entire practice to protecting the rights of California employees. Throughout her practice, Ms. Browne has successfully represented employees in employment disputes, including those involving discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination in violation of public policy, violations of the various medical, disability, and pregnancy leave, and accommodation laws.
Ms. Browne prides herself on her commitment to her clients and making sure their voices are finally heard. As a former NCAA Division One conference champion long-distance runner in college, she became a competitive triathlete and runner, making the cover of Runner’s World magazine in November 2000. The same outstanding attributes that fueled her athletic success—hard work, endurance, perseverance, and a single-minded focus—also help her succeed in litigation.
Drawing on these same traits, she diligently prepares and aggressively litigates her cases to achieve the best possible results for each of her clients, whether that means a quick settlement for maximum value or multimillion-dollar jury verdict. Her hard work and dedication have earned her recognition as one of the top employee rights attorneys in California.
