A class action lawsuit has been filed against a Texas corporation, accusing it of multiple violations of California labor laws. The complaint was lodged by Peyton Scott Larson on October 31, 2025, in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara, targeting U.S. Legal Support, Inc. and several unnamed defendants.
The lawsuit alleges that U.S. Legal Support, Inc., along with other unidentified parties, failed to adhere to various provisions of the California Labor Code and engaged in unfair business practices. According to the complaint, the defendants did not pay minimum and overtime wages as required by law, neglected to provide meal and rest periods, failed to timely pay final wages upon termination, issued inaccurate wage statements, did not indemnify employees for work-related expenses, and withheld requested employment records. Larson claims these actions constitute a breach of numerous sections of the California Labor Code and Business & Professions Code.
Larson worked for U.S. Legal Support as an hourly-paid non-exempt employee from June 2024 until September 2025. During this period, he alleges that he was scheduled for more than eight hours a day or forty hours a week without receiving proper overtime compensation. The company is also accused of manipulating timekeeping records to suggest compliance with meal break requirements while employees were allegedly working off-the-clock during these times.
The complaint outlines nine causes of action against the defendants: failure to pay minimum and straight time wages; failure to pay overtime wages; failure to provide meal periods; failure to authorize rest periods; failure to timely pay final wages at termination; failure to provide accurate itemized wage statements; failure to indemnify employees for expenditures; failure to produce requested employment records; and engaging in unfair business practices under California’s Unfair Competition Law.
Larson seeks class certification for current and former hourly-paid or non-exempt employees who worked for any defendant in California within four years before filing the initial complaint. He argues that there is a common interest among class members who have been similarly affected by the alleged violations.
In terms of relief sought from the court, Larson requests unpaid wages with interest, statutory penalties where applicable, liquidated damages for unpaid minimum wages under Section 1194.2 of the Labor Code, attorneys’ fees and costs pursuant to Sections 218.5 and 1194(a), injunctive relief requiring compliance with labor laws moving forward as well as restitution under Business & Professions Code Section 17200 et seq., among other remedies deemed appropriate by the court.
The case is being handled by attorneys John G. Yslas, Diego Aviles, Harry Erganyan, and Mariam Nazaretyan from Wilshire Law Firm PLC based in Los Angeles. The case ID is 25CV479202.
