Shavitz Law Group - Boca Raton, FL

Championing Employee Rights and National Wage and Hour Advocacy

For hardworking individuals, earning a fair day's pay for a fair day's work is a fundamental right. Yet, across the nation, many employers routinely violate federal and state labor laws, keeping millions of dollars in earned wages out of their employees' pockets. If your employer has failed to pay you correctly, you should not have to face a powerful corporation alone. You may need to find an employment attorney who possesses the specialized expertise, national reach, and financial resources required to challenge major employers in court. Shavitz Law Group, headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, is a nationally recognized, AV-rated labor and employment law firm dedicated exclusively to the vindication of employee rights.

Founded in 1999 by veteran employment litigator Gregg I. Shavitz, the firm has grown from a local practice into a powerhouse national advocate for employee rights. Representing workers across the United States, Shavitz Law Group specializes in complex class and collective action lawsuits, recovering more than three-quarters of a billion dollars in back wages and unpaid overtime for hundreds of thousands of clients. When you decide to hire a wage and hour lawyer, this Boca Raton practice delivers the elite legal capabilities of a national firm combined with the compassionate, personalized attention of a boutique office.

Nationwide Class and Collective Actions: Overtime and Wage Theft Defense

The primary focus of Shavitz Law Group is representing large groups of workers in collective actions under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and state-specific class-action lawsuits. The firm has successfully secured landmark, multi-million-dollar settlements against some of the country's largest retailers, financial institutions, restaurants, and medical practices. Their legal team is highly adept at identifying common employer violations, such as time rounding practices that consistently shave minutes off employee timesheets, requiring employees to work off-the-clock during breaks, and failing to include bonuses or commissions in the regular rate used to calculate overtime pay.

A major focus of their litigation involves the misclassification of employees. Many corporations misclassify assistant managers, mortgage loan originators, and technical staff as exempt salaried workers to avoid paying them overtime. Shavitz Law Group works relentlessly to dismantle these illegal structures, ensuring that employees receive every dollar of the time-and-a-half pay they have rightfully earned.

Comprehensive Representation for Discrimination and Equal Pay Act Claims

While Shavitz Law Group is a recognized leader in wage and hour litigation, they are equally passionate about defending workers against workplace discrimination and inequality. They represent employees who have suffered adverse actions, such as termination, demotion, or failure to promote, based on protected categories including age, race, gender, national origin, religion, and disability. The firm also actively pursues claims under the Equal Pay Act, fighting to ensure that employees who perform equal work receive equal compensation regardless of their gender.

Workplace retaliation is another serious concern; many employees fear that reporting wage theft or discrimination will lead to termination. Shavitz Law Group provides absolute protection for whistleblowers, holding employers accountable for any retaliatory acts and securing compensation for lost wages and emotional distress.

Shavitz is an eight-time Super Lawyer, six-time Legal Elite, and has been recognized as the Most Dedicated Plaintiff's Employment Lawyer.
