Attorney Gruenberg represented Linda Woodbury, a blind Disabled Services Coordinator who was fired from her job with the City of San Diego. Ms. Woodbury claimed she was terminated from her job with the City after seven years because she was blind, and because she was a vocal and tireless advocate for the disabled community. After over a year of litigation in which many depositions were taken and motions were filed, Gruenberg secured a settlement for Ms. Woodbury in the amount of $450,000.

Josh Gruenberg represented Ms. Doe, an African American mother of five children who was unsuccessfully sued in unlawful detainer by the large apartment complex where she had lived for seven years. The court in denying the unlawful detainer action found the proffered reasons for the eviction unbelievable. Ms. Doe believed the attempted eviction was due to her race.

Attorney Gruenberg sued the attorney, the owners of the complex and the management company who sought to evict Ms. Doe and her five children, claiming the attempted eviction was racially motivated. The case settled shortly after discovery began for $172,000. Attorney Josh Gruenberg represented four women in one case against a statewide trade school. Three of the women were subjected to physical intimidation due to their gender and sexual harassment by two managers. The acts of intimidation included the pounding of fists on tables, yelling at close range and cornering one of the women. The sexual harassment included leering, constant sexual banter and innuendo and in one case, touching a client's bottom. The last plaintiff who is black heard other blacks referred to as "spearchuckers" and was told her two boys would either end up in the NBA or in prison. Josh argued the perpetrators were employed because they provided economic benefit to the school. The economic losses ranged from zero to $30,000. Attorney Gruenberg successfully settled the case for $500,000.

Ms. Doe v. Doe employer.

Josh represented a 26 year old woman in a sexual harassment case against her former employer and manager. Josh’s client had written a detailed letter to the owner of the company complaining about the repeated incidents of harassment. The harassment included the manager putting his hand on Ms. Doe’s breast, asking about Ms. Doe’s sex life, relations with other men, and joking that he wanted to shave Ms. Doe’s bikini area. Upon receipt of Ms. Doe’s letter the owner of the company took no action against the perpetrator and told Ms. Doe he did not think she’d be happy continuing to work for the company. He told her he’d be happy to give her a good recommendation. Josh Gruenberg sued the company and the offending manager. After litigating the case very aggressively for several months, the defendants agreed to pay Ms. Doe $525,000.

Attorney Gruenberg represented Annie Sciborski in her lawsuit against AT&T dba Pacific Bell Directory. ATT was represented by Michael Sullivan of Paul, Plevin, Sullivan and Connaughton. Ms. Sciborski was an advertising sales representative. She was assigned an account by her supervisors. She devoted time and energy to working the account and ultimately sold the account $120,000 worth of advertising generating a $36,000 commission. Defendant ATT paid the commission and then told Ms. Sciborski the account was assigned to her “in error” and demanded she repay the commission. She refused and ATT then wrongfully and illegally deducted money from pay check.

The case went to a 12 person jury trial before Hon. Fred Link of the San Diego Superior Court. The jury returned a verdict of $36,000 for Ms. Sciborski. Judge Link then made ATT pay Gruenberg his attorney’s fees in the amount of $291,151, plus interest, plus costs of $4,637 for a total judgment against ATT in the amount of $331,788.
