Selected Recoveries for California Employees
Rastegar Law Group has represented California employees since 1991. This page lists selected recoveries in wage and hour class actions and in individual wrongful termination, discrimination, and harassment cases. It is not a complete list of the firm’s work, and it does not include every matter we have handled.
We represent employees only. If you have a question about unpaid wages, a termination, or treatment at work, you can contact us for a free consultation, or read about our South Bay employment practice based at our Torrance office. Published appellate decisions are collected separately on our Published Cases page.
Disclaimer: Past results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome. Every case is different, and results depend on the facts. Amounts shown are gross recoveries before attorney’s fees and costs. Class settlement amounts are totals for the class, not what any one person received.
