San Diego · Employment Law · Consumer Remedies & False Advertising

When an employer or a brand breaks the rules, we hold them to it.

Sullivan & Yaeckel Law Group has spent more than three decades standing up for California workers — and for consumers sold something that wasn't what it claimed to be. Free consultation. No fee unless we win.

Employment law

Every hour you worked is an hour you're owed.

California gives employees some of the strongest protections in the country. We make sure employers honor them — unpaid overtime, timecard rounding, missed breaks, misclassification, discrimination, harassment and retaliation — one worker at a time, or for an entire workforce.

02
Consumer remedies & false advertising

If the label lied, the law is on your side.

"Recyclable." "Compostable." "Sustainable." "Natural." "No hidden fees." When a package's recycling or environmental claims — or any other claim — don't match what the company actually sold you, California's Consumers Legal Remedies Act, False Advertising Law and Unfair Competition Law let you make them answer for it — and fix it for every buyer.

03
Class actions & PAGA

One case. Thousands of people. Real change.

Most wage theft and false advertising is small per person and enormous in total — which is exactly why companies count on nobody suing. We bring class actions and PAGA representative actions so one employee or one shopper can stand for everyone affected.

Our approach

We put our clients first. Every case, every call.

Large employers and national brands arrive with their own lawyers. You should too. We take a personal approach to every case, return your calls promptly, and prepare every matter as if it will go to trial — which is exactly why most of them don't have to.

1

A free, candid consultation

Tell us what happened. We'll tell you plainly whether you have a case, what it's likely worth, and what happens next — at no charge.

2

We build the evidence

Pay records, schedules, receipts, labels, lab tests, witnesses. Employment and consumer cases are won on documentation, and we know exactly what to gather.

3

Negotiate from strength

Our goal is to keep you out of the courtroom while earning you the compensation you deserve. Opposing counsel knows we're ready if they won't.

4

Litigate when it counts

Licensed in every State and Federal Court in California. If the other side refuses a fair resolution, we take it to trial.

$

You owe nothing until we win

Contingency-based fees: no upfront costs, no hourly bills. Our fee comes out of the recovery — so our interests are yours.
