Attorneys Hunter Pyle and Chad Saunders file a case against Tesla Motors Inc.

Hunter Pyle of Sundeen Salinas & Pyle, representing the plaintiffs, said he was glad the high court decided to take the petition.

Attorney Hunter Pyle settles with the city of Montebello a $1 million class-action lawsuit brought on behalf of 168 bus drivers who claimed they were denied meal and rest breaks.

It’s great to work with EBCLC, an organization I’ve collaborated with at different points over the years, Salinas said. Laura and her team did a superior job.

"One of the goals of the lawsuit was to send a message to landlords who violate Oakland’s tenant protection laws," City Attorney Barbara Parker's statement on the Fremont Hotel lawsuit.

This is a case that some of our attorneys won at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

If a defendant offers to settle a class action plaintiff's individual claims in full, but the plaintiff rejects the offer, is the class action moot? In Campbell-Ewald Co. v. Gomez (Case No. 14-857), the plaintiff brought a class action consumer protection lawsuit under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) against a government contractor. Prior to class certification, the defendant extended a settlement offer to the individual named plaintiff which would have provided full relief of the plaintiff’s claims.

Did you know that California is one of only three states in the US to protect interns and volunteers from harassment and discrimination in the workplace? If you are an intern, volunteer or apprentice in California, you have the right to be free from harassment and discrimination in the workplace. Under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) (California Government Code 12940), it is unlawful for an employer to harass or discriminate against an intern, volunteer or participant in an apprenticeship training program on the basis of race, sex, sexual orientation, disability, religion, or any other classification protected by law.

Employees often do not think they are entitled to reimbursement of cell phone expenses if they have an unlimited plan. Likewise, employers may also presume that they are under no obligation to reimburse their employees for using cell phones for work-related issues if the employees have an unlimited plan. However, they are incorrect. Under California Labor Code section 2802, an employer must indemnify employees for all expenses incurred as a result of performing their duties.
