Benjamin J. Treger

Founder & Principal Attorney

Benjamin J. Treger is an employment attorney who represents workers in California. With over a decade of experience on both sides of employment disputes, he brings a unique perspective to plaintiff-side litigation: he knows how employers think, how they document (or fail to document), and where the vulnerabilities are. That knowledge is what makes his advocacy for employees effective.

His practice covers the full range of employment claims: wage and hour violations (including overtime, misclassification, and meal and rest break claims), wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, sexual harassment, and retaliation. He handles individual cases, class actions, and PAGA representative actions.

Mr. Treger is known for his analytical precision, particularly in wage and hour litigation, where the ability to dissect payroll configurations, calculate damages accurately, and identify systemic violations is essential. He approaches every case with the same rigor: listen carefully, assess honestly, and pursue the best possible result aggressively.

Every case is taken on contingency. Clients pay nothing out of pocket, and no fee is owed unless a recovery is made.
