Practice Areas
Backed by founding lawyer Michael F. Brady's years of dedicated client service, we provide legal solutions in the following practice areas:
Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
The Fair Labor Standards Act or “FLSA” is a federal statute, enacted by congress that protects many workers’ rights to fair pay. The following categories of work time and types of work are covered by provisions in the FLSA.
Are you working off the clock? Our wage and hour attorneys resolve cases involving unpaid overtime claims, unpaid wages, compensation time, unpaid commissions, unequal pay, unpaid salary, FLSA, and companion state law claims. We represent hourly and salaried employees.
Are you paid on salary? We can help determine your exempt or non-exempt status in regard to overtime pay, as well as advise you on other work-related matters.
A true independent contractor is not considered an employee, and therefore is not governed by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA.) Our lawyers can help you determine your status as an independent contractor or an employee, and then assist you in determining your rights.
Donning and Doffing/Changing “Clothes”
In addition to the FLSA (link), many states offer additional protections against employers who exploit work from their workers without paying for it.
Under Federal law, employers may make deductions from non-exempt employees’ pay, PROVIDED HOWEVER, that in making those deductions, the employee’s rate of pay does not fall below minimum wage.
Has your work life become intolerable because of sexual harassment or age discrimination? Protect you rights by consulting an experienced employment law attorney immediately.
Wrongful Termination/Retaliation
If your employer has fired you for speaking out, consult with our law firm about filing a wrongful termination lawsuit―even if your employer has rationalized that your dismissal is based solely on what they deem as poor performance. A skilled workplace retaliation lawyer can explain your rights under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and protect your rights against retaliatory discharge.
