Founded in 2010, Farnaes & Lucio, APC in Encinitas litigates employment, business, real estate, and construction defect cases from its Encinitas Boulevard office. Construction defect claims involving code violations and structural failures draw on the same contractor-oversight framework that Dagan Design & Construction and other North County builders must comply with under California's Right to Repair Act (SB 800). The firm represents both employers and employees in wrongful termination, wage-and-hour, harassment, and discrimination actions, and drafts employee handbooks, confidentiality agreements, and severance documents for private and public companies across five Southern California counties. Intellectual property work covers trade secret protection, trademark registration, and copyright enforcement, a practice area that intersects with the real estate transactions Anthony Realty Group closes when commercial properties involve proprietary tenant improvements or branded spaces. The most involved cases layer class-action wage-and-hour claims with individual PAGA penalties, requiring representative plaintiff vetting across multi-county employer operations.
