For Employees

Patrick Kitchin has represented employees in a wide range of disputes for more than 20 years.  From wage and hour disputes (including misclassification of employment status, unpaid wages, meal and rest period violations, wage theft and unpaid sales commissions) to discrimination and wrongful termination cases, Kitchin Legal has a long track record of success.

If we take your case, we expect to win. If we don’t win, we don’t get paid. It’s as simple as that.

From our early class action employment advocacy on behalf of employees of major clothing retailers (including Banana Republic, the Gap, Polo Ralph Lauren and Chico’s) to our most-recent cutting-edge work on behalf of salon workers, Kitchin Legal has consistently championed employment rights in California.  Kitchin Legal is an expert in:

  • Misclassification of employees and independent contractors
  • Minimum wage violations
  • Overtime wage violations
  • Meal and rest period violations
  • Sales commissions
  • Record-keeping violations
  • Penalty wages
  • Harassment, discrimination, retaliation and wrongful termination of employment

I went to Patrick about my former employer who had not been paying me minimum wage, overtime, and giving breaks.

He told us we had a case. He was very informative and patience about explaining the process and the steps he would take. He answered all the questions we had and kept us inform about what was happening.

I would recommend Patrick to anyone who’s thinking that they have a case. He will tell you if it’s worth pursuing and answer all questions that you have!

Thank you again Patrick!
