Legal Question in Employment Law in California
My ex-bosses perjured themselves in a DLSE hearing
My ex-bosses refused to bring anything that I subpoenaed for the DLSE hearing. The lawyer used false pretenses in his objections to the subpoenas. The company never deleted e-mail or any business-related document while I was there. They lied constantly but without e-mail or status reports, it was hard to prove my case. I did prove that he lied about my going to the gym in the afternoon because I asked for my schedule from the gym. I think that the hearing officer believed me but I could lose the case and I would have to file an appeal. Is there any preemptive strategy that I could employ? Should I file perjury charges? Should I go to court to enforce the subpoenas?

Re: My ex-bosses perjured themselves in a DLSE hearing
The DLSE is not the easiest place to prove your case. It is also hard to do that (enforce subpoenas, etc.) both in that setting, and when you are not a lawyer. You can appeal the decision, but you might also have a broader court case. In either situation, you would be better-served if you had an attorney representing you.

Due to the complex nature of what you are trying to accomplish, I highly recommend you seek counsel before proceeding.
