Wage-Hour Litigation
Wage-Hour Litigation
The California Labor Code and the Industrial Welfare Commission regulations that flesh out the Labor Code together create a labyrinth of issues for employers. The ever-changing laws sometimes defy common sense or workplace realities.

"I can't say enough good things about him."
“I have worked with Steve since 2002 and I can't say enough good things about him . He represented me in a trade secret case filed in Superior Court against a company traded on the New York Stock Exchange. At the time I did not think there was much hope but Steve successfully opposed every motion the opposing attorney filed in the case. He had the opposing attorney on his heels the whole time and was able to achieve a very favorable outcome.”
