This increases our resources and power tremendously, so that we can get a better award for you.

Practice Areas

Practice Areas Description

- Employment Law / Class Actions

Although the employment laws of California and other states are quite clear, many employers attempt to take advantage of their employees through: off the clock work, late payment of wages or commissions, failure to pay vacation and personal time, unpaid overtime, late payment of final wages or commissions, missing meal and rest breaks, failure to reimburse for business expenses, requiring employees to buy goods and services from an employer and truck driver claims. A common tactic of employers to cut corners and avoid paying employees overtime and other benefits to which they are entitled is to simply misclassify them: misclassification as exempt, misclassification as manager, misclassification of technical writers and misclassification as independent contractor.

- Discrimination

Although the issue of discrimination in the workplace has been in the public eye for many years now, too many employers still attempt to discriminate, through: gender discrimination, sexual orientation discrimination, age discrimination, disability discrimination, racial discrimination, national origin discrimination and religious discrimination. If you are experiencing workplace violations, you are probably part of a class of people in your company experiencing the same thing. When many people have the same lawsuit, it is called a class-action lawsuit. It brings a much stronger offense against the company and increases your chances of getting a settlement or verdict award.

- Federal False Claims Act

Before the Federal False Claims Act, no one had any incentive to report fraud against the government. Reporting someone for fraud is a big deal, causing whistleblowers to get involved with things they probably have no interest in being involved with. The possibility of recovering a percentage of the government's damage award from a fraud claim makes it worth the risk for people who have witnessed fraudulent activities.

- State and Local Whistleblower Claims

Whistleblower is simply the common term for someone who alerts the authorities about the illegal activities of others. This term can be used in many different contexts, from the schoolyard to the workplace, to fraud against the government. If you have seen illegal activities, you might have a whistleblower case.

- Consumer Claims

Marlin & Saltzman, LLP is a prominent consumers' rights litigation firm in both Southern and Northern California. We have seen far too many designers, manufacturers, salespeople and service providers try to avoid their legal responsibilities to their clients. There are many ways in which sellers, manufacturers and designers attempt to take advantage of consumers. We can help you if you have been a victim of: false advertising, deceptive marketing practices, Fair Credit Reporting Act violations, unfair bank and lender practices, and discrimination in credit and wireless and cell phone provider misrepresentations.

- Defective Products

If a manufacturer or retail store gives you a product description that seems too good to be true, it probably is. When products don't work as they should — because of a poor design or manufacturing technique, or because no one warned the consumer of the product's danger — the consumer usually takes a hit. Either a serious personal injury or substantial financial damages result from defective products. We handle defective products cases that include: design defect, manufacturing defect, failure to warn of dangerous nature of a product, failure to honor warranties, products failing to work as promised, dangerous drugs and drug recalls.

- Personal Injury

Marlin & Saltzman, LLP, recognized as one of California's prominent litigation firms, has been helping clients receive just and fair personal injury compensation for 25 years. When someone else's negligence was the cause of your injuries or the death of a loved one, our California serious personal injury attorneys have the experience and know-how to get you the compensation you deserve.

- Catastrophic Injuries and Wrongful Death

In our 25 year history, we have gained compensation for clients who have suffered personal injuries. We limit our cases to only the most severe and catastrophic injuries, including: lost limbs, paraplegia, quadriplegia, burn injuries, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injuries, disfigurement and blindness. When you have lost someone you love, no amount of money can make everything seem justified, especially if the death was a result of someone else's negligence. However, we can help you gain compensation for your loss of companionship as well as the financial losses you are experiencing. For many of our clients who lost the primary bread-winner of the family to wrongful death, this compensation is the only way they will survive and take of the family.

- Business Litigation

At Marlin & Saltzman, LLP, we represent clients in business disputes that involve unfair competition. In California and throughout the country, strict laws are in place to protect companies from unfair practices so that the best products at the best prices have a fair chance of getting into the hands of consumers.

- Unfair Competition

If you or your business has been victimized by another company's violation of the fair competition laws, we can help you recover money damages to compensate you for your company's losses. Our California unfair competition attorneys are experienced professionals who have handled many complex matters in litigation, including class-action suits. unfair competition claims include: misrepresentation by competitors of your products, misappropriation of trade secrets and trademark and copyright infringement.

- Misappropriation of Trade Secrets

Ideas, systems and methods are often the heart of a company's success and vitality, in many cases even more so than the products that a company sells. At Marlin & Saltzman, LLP, we understand the importance of these ideas for your company. If you have had your trade secrets misappropriated by a competitor, we can help you protect these ideas and gain compensation for the losses your business has sustained as a result. When an individual or company acquires inside information from a company without that company's express permission, it is a form of theft or white collar crime. In some of the worst cases, the information stolen is vital to the longevity of the victimized company, and the misappropriation of trade secrets destroys the company.
