It’s Time for a Trusted Partner
If you have faced retaliation, such as demotion, suspension, or termination, for filing a wage and hour claim or advocating for your rights, our firm can provide you with the necessary legal representation. We will help you seek justice and pursue compensation for any losses suffered due to wrongful termination or retaliation.
It’s Time to Uncover Hidden Wage Violations
If you have been asked to work off-the-clock or perform work-related activities before or after your shift without being paid, our firm can help. We will investigate your case, gather evidence, and pursue legal action to ensure you receive the wages that you may be owed.
It’s Time to Recover What’s Owed
We help employees who have been denied overtime pay or have been paid at an incorrect rate for overtime hours. We know the intricacies of federal and state overtime laws and can help you recover the wages you rightfully deserve.
It’s Time for Empowerment
If your employer has denied you proper meal and rest breaks or required you to work during those breaks, you may have a case for compensation. Our attorneys have extensive knowledge of the laws surrounding meal and rest breaks and will fight for your rights as an employee.

(Please refrain from making critical decisions about your case based solely on our website or any other source.) Furthermore, if we agree to take you on as a client, this arrangement will be formalized through a legal document that you will sign.
