Specialized Employment Advocacy

The firm's practice is laser-focused on financial justice for employees, handling complex individual claims and large-scale class actions:

• Unpaid Overtime: Representing workers who have been misclassified as ”exempt” or denied time-and-a-half pay for hours worked over 40 per week.
• Off-the-Clock Work: Fighting for employees forced to perform tasks before clocking in or after clocking out, a common form of wage theft in the service and healthcare industries.
• Tipped Employee Rights: Ensuring that servers and bartenders receive the correct minimum wage and that their tip pools are legally compliant.
• Class Action Lawsuits: Consolidating claims for groups of employees affected by the same illegal company policies, providing strength in numbers.
