Los Angeles Wage and Hour Claims Lawyers

Defending the Rights of California Employees in Class Action Lawsuits

In these tough economic times, employers are pressuring employees to work harder and work longer hours in order to accommodate the business's bottom line — even if it means violating employee rights and labor laws. At the Los Angeles firm, Michels & Watkins, attorney fights for the rights of California employees in wage and hour claims.

Holding employers accountable for wage and hour violations

"Michels & Watkins and their entire staff were incredibly kind and helpful throughout the entire process of my child’s case. They worked quickly and were able to obtain a favorable result for my child and our family. I am very thankful to have had their team on my side."
