Advocates for Employees. Your Employment, Overtime + Minimum Wage Rights.
We provide aggressive representation to individual employees who are wrongfully terminated, harassed and discriminated against for protected reasons like race, national origin, gender, pregnancy, disability, age and religion.
We litigate collective actions, class actions and individual cases for employees with overtime and minimum wage claims.
We commonly handle claims that include misclassifying employees as exempt or as independent contractors; failing to pay for off-the-clock-work, pre-shift and post-shift work, changing into and out of uniforms, meal periods, short rest periods and travel time; improper rounding of start and stop times; and improper tip pooling.
Since 2006, we've collected over 100 million for our clients. Our firm has grown from one to eight lawyers. Today, our team has over 100 years of combined employment law experience.
You’ve come to the right place if you need a team of lawyers who know about these areas of law. If you want to learn about these areas of law for yourself, we have you covered. Visit one of our informational websites.
The average American employee loses $2,600 each year to wage theft. Most employees don’t even know it’s happening to them. We combat wage theft with the overtime and minimum wage laws. Watch this video to learn more.
We’ve taken on major companies like 1-800-Flowers, Aarons, Aldi, Forever 21, Nestlé, Papa John’s, Progressive Insurance, and RadioShack.
We’ve litigated over 100 certified collective and class actions. We’ve filed 20% of the Fair Labor Standards Act cases in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio.
Tens of millions and counting. We’re not talking about verdicts that get appealed and go unpaid. We’re talking actual settlement payments.
