Legal Question in Employment Law in California

I had a labor board case for unpaid wages and penalties. The company eventually did pay but the wait time is what causes the penalties. I went to Labor Board hearing with strong evidence and won my case against them in a whooping decision. They appealed and now we are going to civil court. The labor board lawyer wants to settle for way less than I won in the original. She said I have a 50/50 of getting nothing? Is this true? Should I settle for less even though the labor board hearing was ruled in my favor?

Without knowing the facts and evidence there is zero way I can evaluate your chances. All I can tell you is that the labor board favors employees, very heavily. The court will take a more balanced approach. But there is no way I can tell you if you won because the labor board favored you as the employee, or because your case was totallys solid and will stand up in court too.
