Stilz Law represents employees in class, collective, and representative PAGA actions throughout California and nation-wide.

Workers have important rights under state and federal employment laws. Often a single employee is not in a position to protect her or his rights because the cost and time of litigation would exceed the potential reward. In addition, acts of wage theft and other nefarious employment practices are not typically isolated and usually constitute a systemic practice affecting many employees. For these reasons, many employment-related claims are best handled as class actions.

Stilz Law represents employees in California class and representative PAGA actions and nationwide federal collective action litigation involving wage & hour issues. Stilz Law has decades of experience litigating these issues, and a determination to achieve the best possible recoveries for our clients.

Our attorneys proudly represent employees who have been victims of illegal wage practices, workplace standards violations and other unlawful conduct on the part of their employers. We are experienced in all aspects of state and federal labor law and are committed to defending employees’ rights and challenging employers’ illegal business practices. Stilz Law litigates cases on behalf of employees across a broad range of industries, including retail, food services, medical, insurance, banking and securities, among others.
