More than 19% of independent contractors in the construction industry are misclassified. Misclassification of employees happens across various professions where organizations prefer to outsource their core businesses to "independent contractors." Many employers in Long Beach and the larger California state misclassify employees as independent contractors to circumvent their responsibilities towards their employees.
Under California's labor laws, 1099 independent contractors do not have a right to meal and rest breaks. These labor laws have caused many employers in Long Beach to misclassify their employees as independent contractors for them to avoid providing them with meal and rest breaks. By misclassifying them, they reap huge profits since they reduce their management and production costs.
Wrongful termination claims arise from situations that involve employees firing their employees without a valid reason. The Workers Compensation Group in Long Beach helps 1099 independent contractors (among other employees), to file such claims. Courts allow plaintiffs to bring such lawsuits, provided they have a legal basis.
Every year, several California exempt employees are victims of overtime laws violations made by their employers. For instance, the biggest assumption employers make is that any salaried/exempt worker is not eligible for overtime pay. This is not the case. A significant number of salaried workers are either non-exempt or do not fall within the specific exemptions stipulated in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
Rest breaks are a mandatory requirement by the California Labor Code, and all employers must adhere to these guidelines or risk getting into legal trouble. Temporary and permanent workers must familiarize themselves with these laws and any amendments. This understanding will save them from being taken advantage of by unscrupulous employers in the state.

Undoubtedly the epitome of class and quality service. It was delightful working with Justin and his patient staff while my case was being handles. I have truly never met such a stellar team of people, especially when it applies to an attorney/lawyer/law firm. Most people look down on lawyers but I implore you to meet with Justin and let him eradicate your previous thoughts about attorneys.
Needless to say it was a big win for me, both in my workers comp case but also in finding such a great group to support me throughout. Again, if you want class and quality, you need to call immediately. Thank

Needed someone local that I could actually meet with to speak about the terms of my issue with in great detail and lucky for the family and I we found Mr. Lo. Class act all the way, honest, respectful, and a killer when it comes to facing the big corporations(I know this first hand). When I was asked to leave him a review there was no hesitation in leaving a glowing review. I am so extremely happy with how everything turned out and urge anyone that needs an attorney in these matters to reach out to Mr. Lo. Again, class act all the way.

Great experience working with them, they definitely came through and hooked me up big time. The last attorney I was working with was a total bum so going from that guy to Justin and his firm was a god send. If you're looking for quality with a bite, don't look too far, you found them. Appreciate everything ya'all did for me.

Having an injury on the job and not being able to continue to work is one of the worst situations any modern working man can encounter. Thankfully after many phone calls and correspondences, i was lucky to have spoken to Justin and his team. They were extremely through and informative. I would definitely suggest reaching out to him and his team before making any final decisions! Thanks again Justin!

I needed an aggressive attorney to help me with my case because the last one was trying to get me to take a bad compensation deal. What a clown the last guy was and I wasn't fallin for it, no way no how. I found Justin spoke with him on the phone for about 20 minutes and then met with him to talk further, he loved my case and said I made a great choice not taking the last deal. It's been about 8 months of fighting this thing and Justin has been wonderful. We are close to the final payout and I can definitely say he's the one to bring on your compensation case, the guy fights and gets you paid.
