Sullivan & Yaeckel Law Group APC is a San Diego firm built around two principal attorneys, William B. Sullivan and Eric Yaeckel, who together bring more than 35 years of experience serving California residents.
We hold employers accountable for illegal pay and workplace practices, and we hold companies accountable for what they promise consumers on the label, in the ad and at checkout. Both are fights about the same thing — a company deciding the rules don't apply to it — and both are usually won the same way: one person willing to stand up, backed by a firm that has done it hundreds of times before.
Clients receive personalized attention and prompt communication. You will know who is handling your case and how to reach them. We negotiate from a position of strength and prepare every matter for litigation, because that is what earns a fair settlement. Our aim is to keep you out of the courtroom while earning you the compensation you deserve — and to be ready for trial if the other side leaves us no choice.
Legal help should not be a luxury. We offer free initial consultations and handle employment and consumer matters on a contingency basis, with no upfront costs. You won't owe us anything until we win.
From our office in downtown San Diego, we represent clients throughout California. We are licensed for, and routinely handle, cases in all State and Federal Courts in California.
Bill Sullivan founded the firm and has represented California employees for more than three decades, in individual cases and in class and representative actions against some of the state's largest employers. Clients describe him as caring, honest, and relentless on their behalf.
Eric Yaeckel leads the firm's consumer protection and class action work. His focus is recycling and greenwashing claims — challenging "recyclable," "sustainable" and similar environmental marketing by national brands in San Diego Superior Court under California's Consumers Legal Remedies Act, False Advertising Law and Unfair Competition Law — alongside wage-and-hour and PAGA litigation for California workers.
We are prepared to discuss your case and determine what legal action should be taken — whether it is an individual claim or a case on behalf of everyone affected. We offer free consultations and charge nothing upfront. Our office is in San Diego, and we routinely handle cases in all State and Federal Courts throughout California — wherever in the state you live or work.
