Hewgill, Cobb & Lockard APC occupies Suite 325 at 1620 Fifth Avenue in downtown San Diego, concentrating exclusively on employment law, wage-and-hour disputes, wrongful termination, and workers' compensation claims. Workers' compensation cases filed through the firm follow California Labor Code Division 4 procedures for injured employees, a claims process that runs through the commercial coverage underwritten by carriers like CMR Risk & Insurance Services Inc in the downtown market. The wage-theft practice pursues recovery under both individual and class-action frameworks, targeting violations of California's overtime statutes, meal-and-rest-break requirements, and final-paycheck rules codified in Labor Code §§ 201–204 and 226.7. Founded in 2013 with a union-representation division, the firm works directly with organized-labor affiliates on collective-bargaining agreements, grievance arbitrations, and unfair-labor-practice charges filed with the National Labor Relations Board. Workplace-retaliation and harassment matters frequently involve employees managing occupational stress, an intersection of labor law and clinical support addressed by providers like Areta Crowell Center in Bankers Hill. The firm's highest-tier litigation involves multi-plaintiff wage-and-hour class actions requiring analysis of employer timekeeping systems, PAGA penalty calculations under Labor Code § 2699, and forensic payroll reconstruction across multi-year audit periods.
