Arturo Espinoso
Arturo Espinoso worked for a White Castle on Staten Island. He was terminated and his manager refused to give him his last paychecks. We were able to arrange for the release of the entire balance of his salary without having to file a lawsuit.
Jian Lin
Jian Lin worked for a popular pizza restaurant. His employer refused to abide by the laws governing proper wages for workers in the restaurant industry. While we were preparing to file a lawsuit and take this case to trial, we persuaded the employer to settle with our client rather than face a long and costly trial.
Sofia Wisniewski
Sofia Wisniewski was hired for the billing department of a large medical office. Unfortunately, she was subjected to unrelenting hostility from her employer because of her place of national origin. Her employer also refused to pay her for the overtime hours she worked. Without having to take any testimony, we were able to settle this case to the great satisfaction of Ms. Wisniewski.
Evelyn Monfort
We have successfully negotiated a severance package for Evelyn Monfort after she was the victim of a retaliatory firing.
Evelyn had worked for years in a restaurant that is part of a large national franchise. When a medical issue forced her to file for time off, under the Family Medical Leave Act, she was fired.
Rather than take the restaurant to trial, Evelyn asked us to negotiate a severance package, which we successfully completed.
It is a great honor to fight for a legal and paycheck for the working men and women of New York. If you have any questions regarding Workplace rights, please don't hesitate to call.
Mike Johnson and Daniel Gomez
Mike Johnson and Daniel Gomez have successfully resolved their case against their employer, a construction contractor, after he illegally classified them as independent contractors.
Mike Johnson and Daniel Gomez were coworkers, employed by a construction company. When their boss asked them to work overtime, they agreed, because they needed the extra money, and because they wanted to help their employer finish his job on time.
Rather than be grateful for their loyalty, and rather than respect the labor and employment laws of New York, Mike and Daniel's employer accused them of being independent contractors, and refused to pay the overtime that they had earned in good faith.
However, afraid to face us on trial, he elected to resolve his obligation to Mike and Daniel.
