Employment Law Success Stories
- We represent a truck driver who is misclassified as an independent contractor when he should be a full-time employee. He is unlawfully forced to cover expenses in violation of state and federal law.
- We protect a senior bank employee who is pressured to resign because of her age. Despite being one of the most experienced and successful bankers, the company seeks to replace her with younger, lower-paid staff.
- We advocate for a medical researcher who refuses to alter a published paper to include false information. After standing by her integrity, she faces gender discrimination and retaliation.
- We file a whistleblower and retaliation lawsuit on behalf of an addiction treatment employee who is fired after reporting serious legal and patient safety violations. His courage to speak out leads directly to his termination.
- We fight for an employee who is subjected to repeated racial harassment and sexual harassment by a coworker. When HR fails to investigate and instead retaliates, she is further denied reasonable disability accommodations after surgery.
- We stand up for a big-box retail worker who endures harassment for being gay and for speaking Spanish at work. The abuse escalates to the point that he files a police report.
- We represent an hourly worker who is forced into grueling, unpaid overnight shifts and denied promised pay and benefits. He also endures harassment and bullying, resulting in claims for unpaid wages, retaliation, discrimination, and emotional distress.
Administrative Law Success Stories
- Represented a company dealing with complexities in offering services to the deaf community and settled the case favorably without the need for a hearing.
- Negotiated with the Department of Revenue regarding prescription drug tax classification, resulting in cost savings of millions of dollars.
- Court of Claims victory in a case where the State refused to pay a non-profit that was approved grant funds.
- Reviewed dozens of contracts with State Agencies to ensure clients understood the benefits and pitfalls of government procurement.
- Worked with MBE companies to ensure that government bodies followed procurement law and that minority-owned firms were treated fairly.
