Los Angeles Employment Class Action Lawyer
Class action lawsuits start as an individual legal action brought by one or more people. The people within a class action have been wronged in the same manner, or in a very similar manner. Many people think class actions are only reserved for the biggest and highest-profile cases, but that is not true. Class actions are beneficial for everyone because they provide an efficient way to correct wrongs. If you feel as though you and your co-workers have a case against your employer, contact our team today.

How are Class Actions Brought?
Employees may have a class action lawsuit any time they are all wronged in the same way by their employer. To start a class action lawsuit, one employee must volunteer to act as the “lead”or “representative” plaintiff. This individual initiates the lawsuit on behalf of a class of other workers.
The court will decide whether it will certify the class, which is a process of determining whether a class action is the best option to manage the multiple claims. If the plaintiffs are awarded damages, the lead plaintiff is often awarded a higher percentage of compensation in exchange for standing up for the rights of the entire class.
Benefits of an Employment Class Action Lawsuit
People often wonder why they would file a class action instead of bringing an individual legal action on their own. There are many benefits to being part of a class action and they include:
- Less concern about retaliation: It is not uncommon for employees to fear that their employer will retaliate against them for bringing a lawsuit. When multiple employees are involved in the same case, it makes retaliation much more challenging for the employer. It is much easier to punish one employee than most or all of them.
- Employees are treated equally: When individual employees bring many claims against their employer, some may fare better than others with their case. In a class action employment lawsuit, all plaintiffs are treated equally.
- Preserve court resources: Court resources are preserved in a class action lawsuit because only one case sits before a judge, rather than hundreds or thousands, which would create a serious backlog.
- Stopping Illegal Conduct: Of course, the biggest advantage class action employment lawsuits bring is that they force an employer to stop with their wrongful or illegal actions.
Although an employment class action lawsuit has many benefits for those that participate in it, these advantages are only realized when a class is successful with their case. A Los Angeles employment class action lawyer will help ensure a positive outcome with your case.

“I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Hee and his team on an employment matter, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From the very beginning, Hee demonstrated a deep understanding of employment law and provided clear, strategic guidance tailored to my situation.
Throughout the process, Hee and his team were not only professional and knowledgeable but also approachable and genuinely invested in my case. Their responsiveness and attention to detail gave me confidence and peace of mind during what could have been a stressful time.
I highly recommend Attorney Hee to anyone in need of legal assistance. If my friends or family ever require legal support, I wouldn’t hesitate to refer them to Hee and his team. Their expertise, dedication, and client-focused approach truly set them apart.”

“I recently worked with Hee Kim to review an employment contract as I wanted a set of expert eyes on it. Hee was able to explain everything I had concerns about and was helpful in providing me comfort that I would receive what I expected. I would recommend working with him to anyone that needs an employment law professional.”

“Litigation, P.C. Law Firm represented me and they did a great job. Hee Kim did an awesome job making me feel cared for and he really listened to me. There were some mishaps on my end but they gave me all the tools I needed to find and present all my information needed for my case.
I had a great outcome and I was never judged by the firm which made me feel very comfortable. Mr. Kim was very friendly and made me feel right at home and taken care of.
I never had to the office and meet them and did everything online through Zoom and messaging when it was convenient for me.
I really recommend working with Hee Kim because he fought hard for me and after the case was closed I feel the best decisions were done and I believe having a piece of mind is the best thing for any client wanting to reach a just decision in their case.”

“This was the best email I sent when I was distressed and in need of legal services. The team at Litigation, P.C. Law Firm is the most professional, caring, honest, and tenacious group of people I have ever met in the world of law. Their expertise and advice was exactly what I needed when determining how I wanted to move forward with my case. They were able to settle my case in a timely manner for a fair amount. The process isn’t straight forward for everyone, and they were able to clearly communicate every step of the way, which left me feeling very supported, confident, and put me at ease. Once my case was settled, the payment was very swift. I would absolutely use their services again should I ever be in need. Thank you to the entire team.”
