The Team Behind the Case
The case is Hall v. American Automobile Association of Northern California, Nevada and Utah. Frontier Law Center attorneys Manny Starr, Adam Rose, and Theodore Tang represented the class. Co-counsel Torus LLP and Bibiyan Law Group worked alongside them. Consequently, the matter ended through a certified class action settlement. Class actions exist for situations like this one. In contrast, a class action holds the employer accountable for the full scope of the harm at once. Nolo’s guide to meal and rest break rights covers the baseline protections every California employee already has. Likewise, Frontier Law Center’s wage and hour team enforces those same protections case by case.
Recognized Among California’s Top Settlements of 2025
Frontier Law Center’s ranking did not happen by accident. In particular, TopVerdict.com publishes an annual list of the largest verdicts and settlements obtained nationwide, sorted by state and by practice area. Submitted proof, such as a settlement record or court order, supports each entry. Ranking shows the actual size of a finished case, not a self-reported claim. As a result, Frontier Law Center’s work on the Hall case ranked 12th on that list. That list is TopVerdict’s Top 20 Labor and Employment Settlements in California for 2025. Overall, this result adds to a wider track record. Frontier Law Center’s accomplishments page details other wage and hour outcomes across California.
