Curtis Davis is an attorney at Domb & Rauchwerger LLP, where he represents employees throughout California in a wide range of employment law matters, including wrongful termination, discrimination of all protected classes, sexual harassment, pregnancy discrimination, retaliation, whistleblower claims, disability accommodation disputes, and wage and hour violations.
Curtis prioritizes time with his clients because trust is the foundation of justice work. He takes the time to understand each client’s unique experience, and clients quickly learn that Curtis lives what he does. As a whistleblower and plaintiff himself, Curtis personally understands how employer misconduct can damage a person’s career, financial security, family stability, confidence, and health. That perspective informs his client-centered approach and his unwavering commitment to workers and their families.
As a career civil rights lawyer, Curtis has litigated complex employment, housing, education, and sexual harassment matters on behalf of primarily low and middle-income clients in rural and urban communities state-wide. He began his career representing migrant farmworker families in Imperial County and the Central Valley. Curtis considers it a privilege to represent the farm workers who pick our food and working-class individuals who provide essential services to communities across the state. Curtis is fluent in Spanish and deeply committed to service of clients from diverse backgrounds globally.
At Domb & Rauchwerger, Curtis is proud to work alongside a team that shares his core justice values of dignity, accountability, and trial by our peers. The law firm’s culture supports his lifelong pledge to stand in unity with workers to resist exploitation by employers, especially large corporate and public entities backed by major defense firms. Curtis believes that justice can be achieved - even in a system not built for his client communities.
Curtis attended the University of California, Berkeley, where he earned a degree in Legal Studies and Sociology. Curtis earned his law degree from the University of San Diego School of Law and is admitted to practice law in the State of California. He served as an Equal Justice Works (EJW) fellow during his first two years of law practice. Many of his high-profile cases and courageous clients over the years have received media attention. His interest in employment law, worker rights, and social justice lawyering developed from teaching, travel, and language study in Central and South America.
