​Employment Law Expertise with a Personal Touch

At the Hutkin Law Firm, we understand the challenges faced by both employers and employees. This perspective stems from our own family history: our parents were small business owners who navigated the complexities of managing employees. They also experienced the employee side of the equation, including wrongful termination and breach of contract disputes. For example, one of our parents was terminated after requesting a well-earned bonus for securing a multimillion-dollar contract for his employer.
 
This dual perspective informs everything we do.
 
With decades of courtroom, trial, and appellate experience, we have successfully handled numerous six- and seven-figure cases, including recovering punitive damages for our clients. Notably, we tried the first successful disability discrimination case and the first successful wage and hour class action case in San Luis Obispo County.
 
The Hutkin Law Firm has achieved more than $30 million in verdicts and settlements. Our cases have been featured in prominent publications, including The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, BBC, Newsweek, California Lawyer, and Entertainment Weekly. We’ve also been featured on ABC’s News Nightline. Attorneys across California frequently seek our expertise, and we’ve taken over as lead trial counsel for cases from San Diego to Clearlake.
 
While we strive to resolve matters efficiently and cost-effectively, we are skilled and seasoned trial attorneys prepared to litigate when necessary. Whether you are an employer or an employee, the Hutkin Law Firm is here to advocate for your rights and interests with unparalleled commitment and success.
