United States, January 8, 2025 — Making History for California Workers

United Employees Law Group, PC, a well-established California employment law firm, has achieved a remarkable milestone, recovering over $775 million in settlements and awards for workers subjected to workplace mistreatment. This total, achieved in conjunction with other associated legal counsel since 2007, reflects the firm’s steadfast commitment to advocate for employee rights and to help keep employers accountable and compliant with California labor laws.

For more than 20 years, United Employees Law Group, founded by Walter Haines, has represented employees who face challenges such as wrongful termination, unpaid wages, and discrimination. Peggy Reali, a shareholder at the firm and recipient of the Elite Lawyer Award, emphasizes the firm’s dedication to the fight for justice:

“This milestone demonstrates the resilience of California’s workforce and the vital role of taking action to stand up against workplace violations,” said Reali. “We are honored to support workers who seek fairness and accountability in the workplace.”  

Walter Haines, a Super Lawyer and founder of the firm, added:

“Surpassing $775 million is a testament to our commitment to provide California workers with the representation they need to protect their rights.”

The firm’s focus is to secure justice in cases of wage theft, harassment, retaliation, and other labor violations, and to achieve financial outcomes that reflect the seriousness of these issues and provide a positive impact on California employees.

Beyond securing individual recoveries, the firm’s advocacy helps to hold employers accountable for broader patterns of workplace misconduct. Through its legal efforts, United Employees Law Group continues to work to drive compliance and accountability across various industries in California.

Providing Legal Access to All

“We believe every employee deserves access to legal support, no matter how small the matter may seem,” Reali stated. “Even minor issues can signal larger workplace violations, and our evaluations strive to provide workers with clarity as to their rights and available options.”

The firm charges no fees or costs unless the case is won or compensation is otherwise recovered for the employee. Operating remotely, the firm assists employees statewide, striving to make legal guidance accessible to workers across California, no matter where they are located.

California’s labor laws are among the strongest in the nation, and United Employees Law Group plays a critical role in helping to enforce these protections. By recovering lost wages and other damages, the firm not only supports individual workers but also contributes to improving workplace standards across the state.

Reali noted, “Each case we resolve sends a message that fair treatment in the workplace is not optional—it’s the law.”

The firm’s impact on employee rights is reflected in its ability to secure financial recoveries while at the same time foster transparency and accountability among employers.

Looking Forward: Continued Advocacy for Workers

United Employees Law Group remains focused on its mission to protect California workers. As the firm celebrates this milestone, it aims to expand its reach and assist more employees to achieve justice.
