"Mark’s advice was spot-on"

I retained Mark after consulting him regarding issues I was experiencing with my employer. Mark’s advice was spot-on, and he was extremely generous with both his time and billing. More importantly, Mark fought diligently for my rights throughout the process ensuring I was not taken advantage of. It can not be overstated how important it is to have a knowledgable attorney with integrity leading the way when you find yourself being bullied by a juggernaut of a corporation. Having Mark in my corner was the best decision I could have possibly made.

Case Results

Settlement

$3 Million

Employment

Truck Drivers v. Agricultural Company. $3,000,000 class action settlement agreement that included payments to truck drivers and forgiveness of their debt. Our firm was lead co-counsel in a class action and PAGA claim for truck drivers of an agricultural company engaging in wage theft. The drivers did not receive pay as they waited substantial amounts of time to load and unload their trucks. Truck drivers who left the company were unlawfully charged for training expenses to discourage them from leaving. The settlement resulted in hundreds of hard-working truck drivers being better compensated for their work going back over five years, and forgiveness of the unlawful training charges.

Retaliation ClaimsWrongful Termination

Mark Venardi represented a client that worked for a Bay Area company with over 350 employees. Our client suffered from mental illness issues following gut wrenching and traumatic family matters. Our client’s psychologist wrote to the employer and asked that our client be allowed to work from home 50 percent of the time for a relatively short period of time. The employer refused. Our client complained and the company escalated its unlawful behavior and forced our client out of the company. Mental illness is a big deal, and our client deserved the best representation. We fought hard to establish the factual basis for liability against the employer, and after approximately 1.5 years of litigation we persuaded the employer to pay our deserving client $2,000,000. Our client’s rights were honored and hopefully the employer will change its ways.

Discrimination ClaimsEmploymentRetaliation ClaimsWrongful Termination

Judgment in excess of $1.5 million (with attorneys’ fees). Employees v. Indian Restaurant: Four employees of a restaurant were wrongfully terminated and threatened with deportation after they complained about repeated wage and hour violations by the employer. The employees worked more than 60 hours per week and were frequently shorted on their already meager “salaries”. The employer repeatedly promised to make up the backpay in the future and, after employees became persistent in their complaints about the unpaid wages and long hours, the owners of the restaurant threatened to call immigration authorities and have the employees deported. We prevailed at trial, persisted through six bankruptcies, multiple fraudulent liens on assets, and eventually seized three investment properties belonging to the employers.
