RESUME OF MAURICE D. PESSAH

Maurice D. Pessah is the founder of Pessah Law Group, PC. Maurice is a highly sought-after
counselor and litigator whose legal acumen and personal style have earned him the gratitude of clients,
the respect of adversaries, and recognition in the Los Angeles legal community.

For the past ten years, Maurice has served his clients with equal skill in the courtroom and around
the negotiating table. For eight consecutive years (2013 - 2021), Maurice was been named as a Super
Lawyer Rising Star, a peer-based award reserved only for the top 2% of lawyers under 40 in Southern
California.

Early in his career, Maurice was particularly noted for his effective representation of a media
company and an amateur art collector in a dispute with the estate of late nature photographer, Ansel
Adams. The case involved several novel intellectual property issues and received widespread media
attention in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and in various international
media outlets such as CNN and BBC.  Just two years into his legal career, Maurice was selected by his
predecessor firm to argue a case before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal.

In 2017, Maurice was invited to join a group of powerful plaintiff’s attorneys pursuing claims
against Wells Fargo bank on behalf of a class of aggrieved employees who refused to participate in the
bank’s opening of unauthorized accounts. The case received widespread coverage
(https://www.law.com/americanlawyer/almID/1202775869542/).

In 2019, Maurice secured a settlement on behalf of a class of employees pursuing claims against
one of the largest consumer goods distributors in North America.

Recently, PLG was one of the first firms in California to pursue claims against Robinhood Financial
for its decision to restrict trading of certain securities like Gamestop (GME), AMC Entertainment Holdings
(AMC), Blackberry (BB), Nokia (NOK) and American Airlines (AAL). (https://money.yahoo.com/california-
class-action-lawsuit-against-130000392.html).

Maurice is admitted to practice before all California state and federal courts, the Ninth Circuit
Court of Appeals, and the District of Colorado.

During law school, Maurice was a member of both the Trial Advocacy and Moot Court honors
programs and was named First Place Oralist and Best Alternate Writer.

Prior to law school, Maurice lived in Paris where he pursued a post-baccalaureate degree in
International Relations at the prestigious Institut d'Etudes Politiques, more commonly known as Sciences-
Po. Upon completing his studies in Paris, Maurice worked at an NGO where he served as a political liaison
and accompanied multiple European Union delegations to the Middle East.

Maurice is fluent in French, Farsi and Spanish.
