Wage & Overtime Defense

Experienced California Wage & Overtime Lawyers Protect Employer Rights

Pasadena attorneys provide legal guidance and effective defense representation

In recent years, the U.S. Department of Labor and state governments have been dramatically enforcing employee-friendly provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The result has been increased compliance costs and substantial employment-related liability for employers. The employment lawyers at Gutierrez Preciado & House, LLP have vast experience in helping companies develop sound compliance protocols to avoid unnecessary litigation. Our attorneys also defend allegations of wage and hour violations with effective, proven strategies that limit the employer’s exposure and reduce litigation costs.
