When we started Freeburg & Granieri, APC nearly four years ago, we were two attorneys with a clear goal: build a law firm that made a real difference for clients, and create a practice we were proud to lead every day. Today, we’re a growing team of five attorneys, four paralegals, and four virtual assistants serving clients across Pasadena and throughout California.
A lot has changed since those early days, but one thing remains true: putting the right systems in place was one of the most important decisions we made.
Looking back, we’re grateful for the partnership we formed with Uplevel Your Business. With their guidance, we implemented the systems we needed to support our growth. These structures weren’t just about scaling—they were about scaling in a way that made sense for our values, our team, and our clients.
During a recent three-week trial, one of our founding attorneys, Christy Granieri, was able to step away knowing that everything at the firm would continue running smoothly. That kind of confidence only comes when you trust your team and have reliable systems in place. She filmed a short video about the experience while on vacation in Cancun—a moment that wouldn’t have been possible a few years ago.
We’ve always believed that building a successful firm means creating a workplace where people thrive. The systems we adopted helped us clarify roles, streamline communication, and reduce friction, making it easier for everyone on the team to do their best work.
It also means we can continue supporting clients at a high level, even when team members are on trial or taking time off. With a strong internal structure, we’ve been able to grow in a way that supports both our professional responsibilities and our well-being.
The impact of these systems extends beyond our team. They allow us to be more present, communicative, and responsive to our clients. We know how overwhelming employment issues can be—whether it’s a wrongful termination, wage dispute, or workplace harassment. Our clients count on us to not only understand the law but to be clear, dependable, and compassionate throughout the process.
By taking the time to build a solid foundation behind the scenes, we’ve created space to give each client the thoughtful, strategic attention their case deserves. That’s something we take seriously, and it’s reflected in everything we do.
We’ve grown a lot since we opened our doors, but we haven’t lost sight of why we started this firm. Every case we take on still gets the personal attention of an experienced attorney, and every client relationship is built on trust, transparency, and a shared goal of achieving results.
Whether you’re facing discrimination at work, navigating a wrongful termination, or seeking unpaid wages, we’re here to help you understand your legal options and move forward with confidence.If you’re ready to talk, we invite you to schedule a consultation or stop by our Pasadena office. We’d be honored to support you.
Our clients become friends, confidants, and repeat customers. Former clients are our best referral source.
Do not be a commodity, find an attorney who treats your legal issue with the care it deserves.
