California's Labor Commissioner process is complicated — and your employer will have legal representation. Justice For Workers levels the playing field. We help workers navigate DLSE wage claims, hearings, and appeals.
Free, confidential · No obligation
California's Labor Commissioner (DLSE) handles wage theft, unpaid overtime, illegal deductions, and final paycheck violations. Workers who show up without an attorney are at a serious disadvantage when employers bring their legal team.
Your employer owes you money for hours worked, overtime premiums, or minimum wage violations. California law allows you to recover the wages plus liquidated damages and penalties.
Employers who fail to provide legally required breaks owe one hour of additional pay per violation. These claims add up quickly and are commonly contested at hearings.
California law requires payment of all wages within 72 hours of resignation or immediately upon termination. Late or short final paychecks carry steep waiting-time penalties.
Labor Commissioner hearings are adversarial proceedings. Our attorneys prepare your case, present your evidence, and cross-examine your employer's witnesses on your behalf.
Tell us what happened — completely confidentially. We evaluate your situation and give you an honest assessment of your options and potential recovery.
We gather evidence, preserve records, file required administrative complaints, and handle all communications with your employer. You focus on your life.
We fight for maximum recovery — lost wages, emotional distress damages, civil penalties, and attorney fees. Zero cost to you unless we win.
Most employment firms settle quickly and quietly. We prepare every case as if it's going to trial — and that reputation alone often produces better settlements.
You pay absolutely nothing upfront. We front all litigation costs — depositions, experts, filings — and only collect if we recover for you.
Your consultation and case are completely private. We understand the sensitivity of employment disputes and treat every case accordingly.
California employment claims have strict filing deadlines — some as short as 1 year. Acting quickly preserves your rights and your evidence.
Our team serves clients in English, Spanish (Español), Korean (한국어), and Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt) — no interpreter fees, no barriers.
