Setareh Law Group

Synthesized by Claude Opus 4.8 from the signals

Setareh Law Group's playbook is documentary: they hunt the recordkeeping gap—a 47-minute cleaning-log hole in Chen, an auto-tolling meal-break records failure in Vargas—and convert it directly into the element they need, whether that's constructive notice or stacked PAGA penalties across a class. Both California verdicts landed in 2025 in the eight figures, with Chen reaching $14,800,000 and Vargas $12,900,000, signaling a firm that builds cases on the defendant's own missing paper rather than disputed fact. Known exposure in the demo book is concentrated: six businesses targeted or named, four open suits, against monthly ad spend of $48,829.
