EMPLOYMENT LAW Every employee’s working conditions are strongly regulated under California and Federal statutory law. California and Federal employment laws define employee’s rights and employer’s obligations under the law. Employers must strictly comply with a myriad of laws regulating how they may treat employees in the workplace. WAGE AND HOUR LAW Our firm has established a strong Wage and Hour practice which focuses on enforcing overtime payments, minimum wage payments, meal and rest breaks for employees, work-required expense reimbursement, and reimbursement to employees for product charge-backs by the employer. Employers are required to pay employees overtime for any hours worked over eight hours per day or 40 hours per week. Only certain categories of workers are exempt, or not entitled, to overtime. These workers include professionals, executives and administrators as well as other workers such as independent contractors and outside salespersons. Even if you are titled as an exempt employee you may be entitled to overtime. Employers often tell employees that they are exempt in order to avoid paying overtime and to obtain free labor. This practice can take many different forms. If you are being told by your employer that you are not entitled to overtime you should call our office or fill out our case evaluation form in order to receive a free analysis of your individual situation. As an example, employers often title employees as managers and pay them a salary in order to avoid overtime payments. If the employee is actually performing the same duties as a non-exempt employee and is in reality doing very little management work, they may be entitled to overtime. All kinds of employees have been deprived of overtime by their employers including stock brokers, computer technicians, restaurant workers, retail workers, route sales persons and delivery persons, and many others. Overtime pay can amount to a significant amount of money. Under California State law, employees can be entitled to as much as four years of prior overtime pay. If you believe you are not receiving overtime pay that you are entitled to, please contact our law firm so that we may assist you in obtaining a recovery of overtime owed to you by your employer. Employers may also use other mechanisms to deprive employees of their rightful overtime pay including:
Employees are also entitled to the following under California law:
Employers may not charge employees or deduct from their paychecks the cost of broken or damaged products unless the damage meets certain criteria. Normal product breakage cannot be charged to an employee. Our employment law practice also involves the following areas:
OVERTIME CLASS ACTIONS Overtime cases may be prosecuted on an individual or a class basis. In fact, employers often misclassify entire categories or classes of employees as exempt from overtime. It is often more efficient and economical for an entire class to seek compensation for overtime and other wrongs from an employer rather than each employee filing a separate suit on the same issues. It is quite common for employees to seek court approval for class action status based upon the similar claims of many individuals. Some classes involve dozens of people while others involve thousands of workers with the same overtime claims. Our firm is committed to pursuing our client’s claims against employers for their rightful overtime pay and to pursuing class certification where appropriate.

PROBATE ADMINISTRATION AND LITIGATION Probate is a legal procedure overseen by the Probate Division of the Superior Court of the State of California. During probate, the Court determines the validity of the decedent’s will, if the decedent left a will, and administers the payment of decedent’s debts and the distribution of the decedent’s assets to named beneficiaries. If no will was prepared by the decedent, the Court determines the heirs at law based upon the Law of the State of California. Probate involves numerous steps including formal notices, publication and approval by the Court of the Personal Representatives actions. The Court must approve the administration and the final accounting before releasing the personal representative and closing the probate estate. Our firm provides sensitive and caring legal counsel during the administration of your loved one’s estate. Often there are complicating factors such as real estate that must be sold and creditor’s claims that must be approved or rejected before the probate administration can be completed.

As probate counsel, we provide legal counsel to executors, conservators, and trustees and assist them in performing their fiduciary responsibilities.
