What is Gloria Allred’s career?

Allred and her fellow Loyola graduates created the business Allred, Maroko & Goldberg in early 1976. One of her first important cases was in 1979, when she defended seven children and their parents in a suit against the Sav-On Drugstore chain, attempting to prevent the business from gender-segregating its toys. Another notable legal event was in 1981 when Allred presented California State Senator John G. Schmitz with a chastity belt at a hearing on prohibiting abortions. After Schmitz insulted her in a press release, Allred sued him for libel and won a $20,000 compensation.

In 1987, Allred joined the Friars Society of Beverly Hills, a secret show business society that was exclusively male at the time. She and five other women were eventually granted access to the Club’s health facilities after addressing its membership discrimination policies.

Allred had a big legal victory in 1992 when she filed a letter to the Senate Ethics Committee encouraging them to investigate the behavior of Oregon Senator Bob Packwood, who had been accused of sexual misconduct. Because of the pressure she applied to both parties, the Committee eventually voted to expel Packwood, prompting his resignation.

More high-profile cases followed. Also in 1995, Allred represented Nicole Brown Simpson’s family in the O. J. Simpson murder trial. Two years later, she represented model Kelly Fisher in her lawsuit against Dodi Fayed for breaking their engagement to date Princess Diana. The lawsuit was abandoned soon after Fayed and Diana were killed in a vehicle accident in Paris.

Throughout the 2000s and 2010s, Allred took on numerous high-profile cases. She represented the family of Gwen Araujo, a transgender teen who was beaten to death, as well as Amber Frey, a witness in Scott Peterson’s murder trial. In 2004, she and her business launched a lawsuit in California, saying that denying same-sex couples marriage licenses was illegal. Four years later, Allred won a decision from the California Supreme Court recognizing same-sex couples’ rights to marry in the state.

In many of her earlier cases, Allred has fought against corporate age discrimination, sexual harassment, exploitation, wrongful termination, and the rights of women and LGBTQ people. She represented at least 28 women who accused Bill Cosby of sexual assault, as well as three women who publicly accused Donald Trump of sexual misconduct. Allred has also represented clients in lawsuits against celebrities including David Boreanaz, Scott Lee Cohen, R Kelly, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Anthony Weiner.
