California Employee Wage and Overtime Law Firm
Under Federal and California law, employers have varying obligation with regard to the payment of a minimum wage, as well as responsibilities to pay employees all earnings in a timely manner. As Courts regularly state, “Wages are not ordinary debts.” When a man or woman works for an employer and the employer thereafter balks on their obligation to pay all wages earned, the employer may face severe penalties, such as punitive and/or treble (triple) damages.
Founder Richard deSaulles often speaks of an experience with one of his first employers out of law school- a prominent Los Angeles attorney who refused to pay Richard his final paycheck. Even before he was an attorney, Richard did not back down from his claim, eventually recovering not only the wages earned, but waiting time penalties plus severe damages for what was originally a modest debt. Mr. deSaulles understands firsthand the frustration felt by employees whose employers abuse their power by short-changing employees. Today, the Law Offices of Richard deSaulles is proud to tenaciously pursue all remedies available to California employees whose employers fail to pay the proper wages earned.

What if I Cannot Afford To Hire An Attorney?
Most of our clients do not have the thousands of dollars needed to retain an attorney and litigate their case. The Law Offices of Richard deSaulles regularly takes cases on a contingency basis. For cases taken on a contingency basis, this means:
- You do not have to pay anything to hire our firm to represent you;
- Our contingency fee is based on a reasonable percentage of the amount we obtain for you;
- We will never settle your case without your authorization; and
- If there is no recovery in your case, you do not owe us a fee.
For those clients who prefer to pay an hourly rate, our firm is happy to discuss such an arrangement. Either way, we will make sure that the terms of the representation are agreed upon before initiating representation.
