Litigating wage and hour claims can be frustrating. Not only do employers have to incur legal expenses, they also have to sometimes defend inflated and inaccurate claims.
California law offers defendants a mechanism for combatting false claims by filing a malicious prosecution lawsuit. However, it is not without its challenges. A defendant must litigate the underlying action to completion, prevail, and then prove in a separate proceeding that the plaintiff knowingly litigated false and malicious claims.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Yolanda Orozco, in the lawsuit brought by former Congresswoman Katherine Hill, granted The Dhillon Law, Inc.’s client RedState.com editor Jennifer Van Laar’s special motion to strike Plaintiff’s Complaint as an unlawful Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (“SLAPP”).
