Saltzman argued the case to the California Supreme Court, on behalf of a class of approximately 10,000 Starbucks employees who worked the store closing shifts. The ruling affects companies throughout the state of California. Upon receiving the California Supreme Court verdict Saltzman noted, “we are overwhelmed by the Supreme Court’s decision to remove the so-called federal ‘de minimis’ rule from the body of California law, and we are heartened that employers are now being told, very clearly, that they cannot require their workers to regularly perform minutes per day of unpaid labor.”

With almost forty years of experience, Stan Saltzman has dedicated his practice to “fighting for the little guy.” His work on Troester v. Starbucks Corporation is one of many cases where Mr. Saltzman has displayed his commitment to California workers and their wage and hour rights.

“I am thrilled to accept this 2019 California Lawyer of the Year award and will continue to focus my practice on advocating for workers and participating in game-changing litigation,” said Saltzman.

Since 1985, the firm of Marlin & Saltzman has filed hundreds of class actions, helping millions of client class members gain fair compensation for their employment and consumer injuries and damages, and has also handled catastrophic injury claims. In its 35 years of experience, Marlin & Saltzman has recovered almost 1 Billion dollars for its clients; becoming a preeminent law firm throughout California and the entire nation. Stanley D. Saltzman is a highly respected trial lawyer, consistently recognized as a Southern California SuperLawyer in the area of employment class action and wage and hour law.
