Nilges Draher LLC – Cleveland, OH

Champions of Employee Rights in Downtown Cleveland

Nilges Draher LLC is a premier employment law firm dedicated to protecting the rights of workers in Cleveland and throughout Ohio. Headquartered in the prestigious IMG Center in downtown Cleveland, the firm was founded by attorneys Hans Nilges and Shannon Draher with a singular mission: to ensure that employees are treated fairly and paid every penny they are owed. The firm has earned a reputation for being unafraid to take on large corporations in complex class-action lawsuits. Unlike firms that represent both employers and employees, Nilges Draher LLC sits squarely on the side of the worker. This clear focus allows them to provide uncompromised advocacy for individuals who have been victims of wage theft, discrimination, and wrongful termination.

The attorneys at Nilges Draher understand the power imbalance that often exists between a single employee and a large company. They work to level the playing field by leveraging their deep understanding of federal and state labor laws, including the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Whether it is a server at a restaurant who is being denied minimum wage or an executive facing age discrimination, the firm approaches every case with the same level of tenacity and rigorous preparation. Their success is measured in the millions of dollars they have recovered for their clients, a testament to their skill in both negotiation and litigation. The firm prides itself on being transparent and responsive, ensuring that clients are never left in the dark about the status of their case.
