WE SUCCESSFULLY DEFENDED A RESTAURANT AGAINST FALSE CLAIMS OF WAGE UNDERPAYMENT.
The owner of a small, struggling restaurant in the Bronx came to us for help when he was sued by his employees for more than $200,000.00. The problem was, these claims were largely false and unsubstantiated. Rather than face us at trial, the plaintiffs settled for only $25,000.00- just over 10 percent of the monies they originally sued for.
GREAT WIN FOR TRUCKING COMPANY FACED WITH MASSIVE PAYMENTS AND PENALTIES
We recently represented the owner of a trucking/delivery company. A driver claimed to suffer serious injuries while employed by our client.

What to do after a workplace injury
Every year thousands of American workers are hurt in workplace accidents. While some of these injuries are minor, like small bumps and cuts, others are serious and may threaten the lives of those who are harmed. When a New York worker gets hurt while performing the duties of their job, they should take quick action to protect their rights to seek workers' compensation benefits.
Are some drivers treating red lights like a suggestion?
When you see a red traffic light, you know to stop. These traffic control devices regulate the flow of traffic and help ensure everyone gets to where they are going safely and without incident.
What happens if your claim comes back denied?
A work accident can leave you with painful injuries and expensive medical bills. If you receive an injury at work, you may feel unsure of what to do next or how you will begin to recover from this type of incident. This is why workers' compensation benefits exist -- to support the needs and interests of employees injured at work or those who become ill as a result of their jobs.
What types of compensation are available after an accident?
A car accident can change your life in an instant. It can leave you unable to work, unable to pay your medical bills and unable to enjoy your life as you did in the past. Your injuries can be physically painful and expensive, and it can be quite complicated to navigate the aftermath of a serious accident on your own.
Do you have a right to overtime pay from your employer?
New York employees have the right to expect fair pay from their employers. This includes rightful pay for time worked and, in some cases, overtime pay for extra hours worked. There are laws in place that outline the rights of employees, yet some employers still neglect to give their workers the full amount they've earned. Often, this includes failing to pay overtime wages.
You never know how a car accident will change your life
There is no way to predict how your day will go. When you get into the car in the morning to go to work, drop the kids off for school or start your list of errands, you might expect to be relaxing on your sofa at the end of the day. No one plans to be lying in a New York hospital bed following a motor vehicle accident.
