Most of the litigation filed in California is employment litigation. And most of the employment litigation stems from allegations of a business’s failure to comply with wage and hour laws.  Listen to the perspective of two experienced lawyers, one who represents employees and the other employers, who handle many of the employment law cases filed on the Central Coast. Learn why even lawyers who do not practice in this area should be aware of these laws in order to better protect themselves and their clients.

Allen Hutkin is the founder of the Hutkin Law Firm, APC where for nearly 30 years he has primarily focused on representing employees in discrimination, sexual harassment, wrongful termination, failure to accommodate, severance negotiations, and unpaid wage and overtime matters. He represents employees in individual and class actions who seek to recover damages and make lasting changes in the workplace.  He successfully tried the first disability discrimination case and the first wage and hour class action in San Luis Obispo County. Many of his cases are referrals from other attorneys on the Central Coast and throughout California.
