Parks v. Eastwood Insurance Services:
Read the Order on Fees

Mower, Carreon & Desai, LLP are currently prosecuting an action on behalf of former and current inside salespersons who were not paid overtime wages despite working well over 40 hours per week. This action was certified as a nationwide collective action under the Fair Labor Standards Act by the Honorable Judge Gary Taylor of the United States District Court of California, Central District. We have obtained summary adjudication - in favor of the class members - on many issues, inlcuding Eastwood's sole claim of exemption from the overtime requirements of the FLSA, liquidated (or double) damages, the Defendant's use of the Fluctuating Work-Week to calculate the wages, the Defendant's claim of a Belo-Plan to pay for the overtime hours, the use of representative testimony to prove the class members' claims, Defendant's contradictory and untrue claim of a "prepayment" of seven hours of wages, and the ultimate Computation of Overtime Wages. Days before trial was set to start, Eastwood agreed to resolve this case but declined to pay for MC&D's reasonable attorney's fees and costs. The district court awarded our fees notwithstanding Eastwood's objection and this part of the case is on appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. In all other respects, this case is over.
