Handling Cases Across the Inland Empire
The Inland Empire is the logistics hub of Southern California. Hundreds of distribution centers line the I-10 and I-15 corridors in Ontario, Fontana, Rancho Cucamonga, Chino, and San Bernardino, supported by Ontario International Airport and the region’s rail yards. That concentration of warehouse and transportation work produces two kinds of cases we see often:
- Employment claims: unpaid overtime, missed meal and rest breaks, misclassification of drivers and staff, retaliation for safety complaints, and PAGA claims on behalf of coworkers.
- Serious collisions: heavy truck traffic on the I-10, I-15, I-215, and SR-210, plus long mountain and desert routes such as the Cajon Pass.
San Bernardino County civil cases are heard in the San Bernardino County Superior Court, including the San Bernardino Justice Center and the Rancho Cucamonga courthouse, and federal cases in the Central District of California.
How We Work

Frequently Asked Questions
I work at a warehouse and never get full breaks. Do I have a claim?
Possibly. California requires duty-free meal and rest breaks, and employers owe an extra hour of pay for each day they are not provided. These claims often affect many coworkers at once.
Can you handle cases in the High Desert?
Yes. We represent clients throughout San Bernardino County, including Victorville, Hesperia, and Apple Valley.
