Episode 13: SODHI Law Group
Running a business in California means navigating one of the most litigious environments in the country — and host Jeanette Forni isn't shy about it. In this episode of the Small Business Voice, Jeanette and co-host Nicole Castillo sit down with Jac Sodhi, litigation attorney and owner of Sodhi Law Group, based right on Modesto's 15th Street. Jac shares how a career that started at the Stanislaus County DA's office and continued through a large San Francisco law firm led him back to Modesto, where he opened his own practice in 2016. The conversation covers the rise of predatory employee lawsuits hitting Central Valley businesses, the dangers of class action and PAGA claims, and why having a local litigation attorney — someone who knows the judges, the community, and the courthouse — can make all the difference. Jac also offers a candid look at when it makes more financial sense to settle versus fight and shares one of his most memorable wins: clearing a young man wrongfully held for nearly a year on a carjacking charge he didn't commit.
