In 2008 Donahoo and Associates completed an employment case on behalf of four individuals against their employer and insurance companies for violations of the California Labor Code. At the Court of Appeal, Donahoo and Associates successfully reversed a trial court ruling that had dismissed the case. The appellate victory by Donahoo and Associates was upheld by the California Supreme Court and later by the United States Supreme Court. Plaintiffs recovered $350,000 in a settlement with the employer and insurers.
