A “PAGA” action is a type of qui tam, or representative, lawsuit that is specific to California. PAGA stands for the Private Attorneys General Act, which allows employees to sue their employer on behalf of the state for labor law violations. The main difference between a class action lawsuit and a PAGA action is that in a PAGA action, there are less stringent requirements related to maintaining the case. However, in a PAGA action, only penalties for Labor Code violations are sought and a portion of the penalties recovered must be shared with the state. Sometimes a lawsuit will be both a class action and PAGA case.

I genuinely appreciated how responsive and capable Brooke Nevels was at handling my civil lawsuit. Brooke was very resourceful at get me a settlement when other, more senior attorneys had failed.
What I liked about Christopher Nichols was the way that he treated me, and best of all is that he produced results.
Brooke demonstrated exceptional thoroughness, promptness, and professionalism. We will definitely turn to her services again in the future if any issues arise.
I would like to express my respect for the deep knowledge, high level of professionalism, as well as showing genuine concern for the client's welfare by Mr. Chris Nichols throughout.
