When one employee speaks up, a whole workforce gets justice.

Class actions and PAGA cases exist because some violations are too widespread to fight one by one. When an employer shortchanges overtime, misclassifies workers, or strips employees of meal breaks across an entire workforce — the only proportionate response is collective action.

Tina Mehr has spent her career on both sides of these cases. She has defended Fortune 100 companies against large-scale employment claims and led class action litigation on behalf of the employees bringing them. She knows exactly how corporations build their defenses — and where they crack.

A class action allows one or more employees to sue on behalf of everyone similarly affected — turning an individual claim into a case that forces real accountability. Certification as class counsel is not automatic; it requires experience, strategy, and a track record courts trust. Tina Mehr has served as certified class counsel and co-lead counsel in complex class actions across California.

Individual settlements get one person paid. Class actions and PAGA cases get policies changed, practices overhauled, and — sometimes — entire industries brought into compliance. That kind of systemic impact never happens from the goodness of corporate hearts. It happens because someone was willing to stand up and change the system for everyone.
