Elkin Gamboa, LLP - Burbank, CA

Relentless Workplace Justice and Class Action Advocacy

Every worker deserves fair pay, dignity, and a workplace free from mistreatment. When large corporations violate labor standards, individual employees often feel powerless to stand up for their rights. Elkin Gamboa, LLP bridges that gap by providing aggressive advocacy for workers across California. Established by founding partners Michael Elkin and Jessica Gamboa, both graduates of top California law schools admitted to the State Bar in 2012, the firm combines the resources of a major litigation practice with the hands-on agility of a boutique firm. With offices in Burbank and Fresno, the legal team represents workers throughout Los Angeles County, the Central Valley, and across California.

Champions of California Wage and Hour Law

California maintains rigorous statutory standards designed to protect workers against wage theft, yet systemic noncompliance remains rampant across logistics, retail, manufacturing, agriculture, and hospitality sectors. Whether you need to hire an employment lawyer to pursue unpaid wages or challenge unlawful corporate pay practices, Elkin Gamboa, LLP delivers decisive advocacy across essential wage and hour disputes:

• Unpaid overtime and minimum wage: Ensuring workers receive all mandatory regular and premium pay rates for hours worked in excess of statutory daily and weekly thresholds.
• Meal and rest period violations: Holding employers accountable for denying lawful meal breaks and rest periods, securing full premium pay penalties.
• Off-the-clock labor: Recovering pay for pre-shift prep, post-shift security screenings, mandatory meetings, and unrecorded remote tasks.
• Independent contractor misclassification: Applying California's stringent ABC test to recover employee benefits, expense reimbursements, and statutory penalties for misclassified workers.
• Inaccurate wage statements: Pursuing statutory damages under California Labor Code Section 226 for deficient, confusing, or misleading pay stubs.

Comprehensive Employment Discrimination and Harassment Advocacy

Workplace misconduct can shatter an employee's career and emotional well-being. When individuals face illegal termination or pervasive abuse on the job, Elkin Gamboa, LLP stands by their side to seek accountability. The firm actively litigates claims involving:

• Wrongful termination: Representing employees fired in retaliation for complaining about illegal conduct, reporting wage violations, or taking protected medical leave.
• Workplace discrimination: Combating adverse employment actions motivated by race, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age, or pregnancy.
• Workplace harassment: Taking prompt legal action against severe or pervasive sexual harassment and abusive, hostile work environments.
• Whistleblower retaliation: Protecting brave individuals who disclose unlawful company practices from retaliatory demotions, discipline, or discharge.

High-Impact PAGA and Class Action Litigation

When labor violations affect hundreds or thousands of colleagues across a company, individual lawsuits may not be enough to spark structural change. The firm serves as court-appointed class counsel in major state and federal class actions and Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) representative actions, recovering millions of dollars in restitution and civil penalties for wronged California workforces.
