At Razavi Law Group, our top-rated employment law attorneys are dedicated to standing up for California workers who have been subjected to wage and hour violations and other unlawful labor practices. Every employee deserves to be paid fairly and treated with respect—but when employers violate the California Labor Code, the financial and personal impact can be significant.

Wage and hour violations occur when an employer fails to comply with state labor laws—whether through unpaid overtime, missed meal or rest breaks, off-the-clock work, misclassification, or failure to pay minimum wage. These actions are not only unethical—they’re illegal.

If you’ve been denied fair wages or proper breaks, our experienced legal team is here to help. Wage and hour violations can be frustrating, financially damaging, and often go unchallenged. That’s why we take a strategic and relentless approach—conducting in-depth investigations, preserving critical payroll and timekeeping records, and building strong claims designed to hold employers accountable under California labor laws.

Role of Our Santa Ana Wage/Hour & Labor Code Violation Lawyers

At Razavi Law Group, we go beyond standard legal representation. Our experienced employment attorneys are deeply knowledgeable in California’s Labor Code and wage and hour laws. We are committed to standing up for workers who have been underpaid, overworked, or otherwise exploited by employers who fail to follow the law.

Whether your employer failed to pay overtime, denied legally mandated breaks, forced you to work off the clock, or misclassified your job to avoid paying benefits—you have rights, and we’re here to enforce them.

How We Advocate for Victims of Wage and Hour Violations

Wage theft often goes unreported, but it can have a serious financial impact on workers and their families. Our legal team takes a detailed, results-driven approach to every case. We:

  • Investigate payroll practices and timekeeping systems for legal violations

  • Analyze time records, pay stubs, schedules, and employment contracts

  • Identify misclassification of employees as independent contractors or exempt workers

  • Negotiate aggressively with employers and their legal teams

  • Pursue litigation when necessary to recover unpaid wages and penalties

With a deep understanding of California wage laws, we build strong, evidence-based claims designed to recover the compensation you’re owed and deter future violations.

We Shoulder the Legal Burden—You Focus on Moving Forward

Unpaid overtime, missed breaks, and wage theft can be frustrating and financially devastating. You deserve to be compensated fairly for every hour you work. Let our team handle the legal burden so you can focus on your future.

Our attorneys will:

  • Conduct personalized case evaluations and explain your legal options

  • Collect and preserve records of hours worked, wage statements, and communications

  • Work with wage and hour experts to strengthen your claim

  • Prepare each case for trial to maximize leverage in negotiations

We work on a contingency fee basis—you pay nothing unless we win.

ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked
Questions

At Razavi Law Group, we understand that navigating a personal injury claim can be overwhelming, especially when dealing with medical bills, insurance companies, and legal procedures. To help you make informed decisions, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about personal injury cases. Whether you’re wondering about the claims process, the compensation you may be entitled to, or how our attorneys can assist you, our FAQ section is designed to provide clarity and guidance. If you have additional questions, our experienced legal team is always here to help.

What should I do if I think my employer is violating wage laws?

Start documenting everything—your hours worked, pay received, and any communications with your employer. Then consult a qualified wage and hour attorney to assess your claim and next steps.

Can I sue my employer for unpaid wages?

Yes. You may file a wage claim with the California Labor Commissioner or pursue a private lawsuit with the help of an employment attorney to recover unpaid wages, penalties, interest, and attorney’s fees.

What is the statute of limitations for wage and hour claims in California?

In most cases, you have up to three years to recover unpaid wages under California law. However, waiting too long can make it harder to gather evidence. It’s best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.

Am I entitled to overtime if I’m salaried?

Not all salaried employees are exempt from overtime. If your job duties don’t meet specific exemption criteria, you may be entitled to overtime pay—even if you receive a salary.

What are common wage and hour violations in California?

Common violations include:

  • Not paying overtime for hours worked beyond 8 per day or 40 per week

  • Skipping required meal or rest breaks

  • Misclassifying employees as exempt or as independent contractors

  • Failing to issue timely final paychecks

  • Not reimbursing business-related expenses

I had a great experience with Razavi Law Group and especially with Attorney Faheem Tukhi, who helped me through my employment case. From the very beginning, the law firm reached out to me quickly and made me feel like my case was being taken seriously.Faheem was extremely attentive, professional, and informative throughout the entire process. He took the time to walk me through each step, explain everything clearly, answer my questions, and make sure I was updated every step of the way. I always felt supported and knew what to expect.I was very pleased with the settlement Faheem was able to help me achieve, and I truly appreciate all of his hard work and dedication to my case. Going through an employment dispute can be stressful, but having Faheem in my corner made the process much easier.I would absolutely recommend Razavi Law Group and Attorney Faheem to anyone dealing with an employment-related issue or who feels they are struggling with their employer. Thank you, Faheem, and the entire Razavi Law Group team, for all of your help!

WHO HURT YOU?? I love you 💕 Razavi Law! 🙌🏻 If you’re in an accident, call them first. I was in an accident and called my insurance company (a very well known company) and was perplexed and questioning what they wanted to do, I got frustrated and found Razavi Law. They are the best; kind, compassionate and they ‘communicate’ well. I’ve referred many people to them. I like seeing Ali on my grocery cart. 😊Even if they didn’t remember my birthday, (they always do) I’d write this review. Call Razavi, you’ll be so happy you did, you don’t have to worry about a thing; they’ve got you.
Razavi Law Group is outstanding. I can say so with confidence because of how well my case was handled, how my assigned lawyer (Veronica Buckels), case manager (Cristina Espinoza) and the lien negotiator (Abril Zamora) interacted with me and how satisfied I was with the resolution of my case. Love them all but a BIG shout out to Abril the lien negotiator for reducing those bills. Lol.Background Information: I had already signed a contract with a different law firm but I was very unhappy with how things were progressing or should I say not progressing. Additionally, that lawyer was collecting his 33.33% + fees but wanted me to do all the research and information/record gathering. Moreover, he kept losing the bill for the ambulance services and never followed up on it like he promised and I received a delinquent notification.I was very frustrated and didn't know what to do. A friend suggested I change lawyers so I checked Google and Yelp for law firm recommendations. Yes, I did, don't judge me. Lol. Razavi Law Group had positive reviews on both platforms. Additionally, one of my associates recommended them. I also verified via the State Bar of California and Better Business Bureau websites.I met with Razavi Law Group and explained my situation. They agreed to take my case even though it meant they would have to split the fees with that other useless law firm I had signed with.I'm so glad I switched to Razavi Law Group. What a difference! They took care of everything. I didn't have to do anything on my end except to sign the documents. They kept me updated, explained things clearly and answered all my questions.I'm thankful for Razavi Law Group and I definitely 100% 💯 recommend them.

I just want to say thank you so much to everyone at the firm, especially Joe, Gabe, and Christina, for everything they did for me throughout my personal injury case. I was hit by a car, which was a really traumatic experience, and having their help throughout the entire process made such a difficult time in my life a lot easier to deal with.They were always on top of everything and kept me updated throughout my case. Whenever I had questions or didn’t understand something, they were patient with me and took the time to explain everything. I never felt like I was being left in the dark or had to constantly reach out just to know what was going on.I’m extremely grateful for all the time, effort, and work they put into my case and for helping me get through such a difficult chapter of my life. It meant a lot knowing I had people in my corner who were looking out for me and making sure everything was handled properly.Thank you again to Joe, Gabe, Christina, and everyone else who helped with my case behind the scenes. I truly appreciate everything you guys did for me and I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone who needs help after a personal injury.

Sonya was amazing to work with after my car accident. She fought to get my medical bills and legal fees reduced, which meant I was able to keep more money from my settlement. She was professional, helpful, and kept me informed throughout the process. I truly appreciate everything she did for me and would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a great attorney.

I liked working with James. He is really sweet, kind, and patient. After my accident, I was having a panic attack, and he took the time to reassure me and walk me through what I needed to do. He kept me updated and is always willing to explain and answer any questions. I felt very comfortable working with him.Ali is also very responsive. He would reply to my texts right away, even after hours. They were both very accommodating and wonderful to work with.
