CDF Attorneys Convince DLSE to Dismiss $15,000 Meal and Rest Break Claim in Its Entirety

Court: The DLSE conference was held in the Long Beach district office on February 28, 2012.

Jeremy Naftel and Shirin Forootan defended a national security company at a DLSE conference and convinced the DLSE to dismiss the $15,000 meal and rest break claim in its entirety without the need for an evidentiary hearing. They were successful in establishing the existence of a valid on duty meal period agreement which was deemed to be dispositive of the meal break claim, and the DLSE did not find credible the claim of denied rest breaks.
