Municipal & School District Liability

We prosecute various child sexual abuse matters against local government entities, school districts, and private schools. After courageously rejecting early settlement offers by the Los Angeles Unified School Disctict, we tenaciously battled for four years as one of the lead counsel on behalf of 19 children and their parents in the largest child sexual abuse case against a single school in U.S. history.

During jury selection at trial, the school district caved in, and we eventually recovered $38 million on behalf of the 19 children. In so doing, we also helped bring about profound change in Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) policies and procedures to ensure that children are better safeguarded from sexual abuse.

Wrongful Death & Other Personal Injury Litigation

We represent family members in wrongful death matters and also victims of serious personal injury. By way of example, we are currently representing the mother of a young man killed in the Las Vegas mass shooting, a nine-year-old girl whose father was beaten and murdered by a mental health patient at a mental health facility, and the father of a Anthony Avalos (a nine-year-old boy), who was allegedly tortured and murdered.

Employment Discrimination

Mr. Claypool has prevailed in cases where an employer created a hostile work environment for an employee, who had no other choice but to resign. In addition, we have prosecuted many claims based on racial, gender, and age discrimination as well as matters involving sexual harassment, and discrimination based on a recognized disability or serious medical condition.

Most recently, Mr. Claypool obtained very favorable results for a group of six women in a class action suit against a major motel chain. The suit involved claims of unpaid overtime/break time, age discrimination, gender discrimination, constructive discharge, and wrongful termination based on a serious medical condition.

We also achieved a favorable result in a sexual harassment case involving a former winner of America's Next Top Model.

Qui Tam Whistleblower Cases

Mr. Claypool partners with other exceptional civil attorneys on select federal court whistleblower cases involving alleged fraudulent business practices.

Civil Rights Litigation

We have successfully sued law enforcement in excessive force/wrongful death cases in federal court. As we continue to search for new clients and people in need, our focus has sharpened on civil rights litigation cases, which allow us to pursue justice for a client and all of society at the same time.

Criminal Defense

Mr. Claypool assists select clients in serious criminal matters, including murder, attempted murder, and any cases that involve false imprisonment, wrongful convictions and other civil rights violations.

Mr. Claypool achieved a near-miraculous result in defending Dalia Dippolito in her murder-for-hire retrial in West Palm Beach, Florida by obtaining a hung jury with 5 jurors voting to acquit Ms. Dippolito.

The case received international attention and was broadcast to millions of viewers across the world. Mr. Claypool is also personal counsel to Heather Mack in all her legal affairs in the U.S. Ms. Mack was involved in the Bali, Indonesia suitcase murder case.
