What is PAGA and How Does It Work?
PAGA, or the Private Attorneys General Act, was enacted in 2004 to enhance the enforcement of labor laws in California. This legislative measure seeks to bridge the gap between state resources and the need for comprehensive enforcement of labor standards.
PAGA allows employees to file lawsuits against employers for labor code violations on behalf of the state. This means that employees can act as “private attorneys general” and seek civil penalties for violations. By doing so, PAGA effectively deputizes employees, granting them the authority to uphold labor laws and hold employers accountable. This innovative approach reflects a broader trend in employment law, empowering individuals to take an active role in ensuring workplace fairness.
PAGA vs Class Action
PAGA lawsuits differ from traditional class actions in several ways. While class actions require certification and can involve numerous procedural hurdles, PAGA claims do not require class certification. This makes PAGA claims potentially easier for employees to pursue. The absence of a certification requirement means that employees can initiate legal action more swiftly, without the lengthy delays often associated with class action suits.
The overall PAGA structure allows for a broader range of claims, as it focuses on systemic violations rather than individual grievances. This flexibility makes PAGA a powerful tool for addressing widespread issues within a company, potentially affecting a larger number of employees.

Client Testimonials
Times are tough and it is required that corporate executives and business owners make sound decisions. Mr. Eghbali is not only thoroughly familiar with the notions of the law, but he also has the ability to give candid advice with respect to our economic and political environment. I highly recommend his counsel in business law, specifically in areas such as real estate laws, investment laws, and mergers and acquisitions laws.
CEO- Edwin Malekan at Signature Fabric, Inc
Doron quickly grasped the complex structure of my financial deal and rightly advised me not to attempt to alter the terms, as it would not be to my financial advantage in the long term. I am still stunned, as I have the M.B.A. in Finance. He was right on the money.
Beverly Christensen Independent Education Management Professional
His counsel created a fair, and safe road map for anticipating current, and future potentially harmful legal road blocks for us. It gives me great pleasure to endorse Mr. Doron F. Eghbali, Esq. to anyone who might be searching for a delightful and honest counselor who can solve legal issues with full integrity, and sharpness of mind. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Eghbali to anyone.

If I had to describe Doron Eghbali in a few words, they would be “God-sent.” In our darkest time, Doron has brought illumination, hope, care and concern that no other lawyer has ever afforded to show to me and my family. He made sure we were in clear and in constant communication, is very respectful, and worked alongside me in gathering details for our case that were extremely important. He is the author of our complaint and our go-to when it came to discussing our case with the firm.

I recently had the honor of working with Mr. Eghbali in regards to the purchase agreement of my business. I have never worked with such a knowledgeable, caring and most of all personable attorney before. Not only did he give me a great deal for his services, but from day one, Mr. Eghbali took the time to sit with me and review everything.

Excellent, Trustworthy, Responsive, Knowledgeable I recommend Doron Eghbali. I am often skeptical and quick to notice any red flags. Doron, however has not only my full faith and appreciation in his work, but also in himself as an individual. I believe he is a person for the people he represents and will always remain loyal and honest, with the utmost professionalism.

By luck I found Ryan Agsalud. For a reasonable fee, I received professional, friendly legal help. I have to repeat how scared I was, and Ryan did everything perfectly to put me at ease. He knows the law and how it works. If I ever need legal help again, I would call Ryan. I would recommend him to my own family and friends. I highly suggest if you’re reading this because you need legal help, send him an email or call.
