Areas of Practice

Class actions for overtime pay, wage-and-hour violations, privacy violations and other consumer rip-offs. We represent employees who have not been paid the full wages, including overtime pay and vacation pay, that their employers owe them. We represent people who have been victims of privacy violations including secret or unannounced recording of telephone calls. We also represent consumers who have paid their hard-earned money for products that are defective or do not deliver as promised. 



Workers and consumers have a right to what the law says they are owed. But unfortunately, the amount owed to any one person, while substantial, might not be large enough to support the legal expense of pursuing an individual case. In those situations, a class action on behalf of everyone in the same situation may provide the only real hope for receiving compensation for the harm done – and the only way to prevent the corporate wrongdoer from keeping the fruits of its misconduct.

Securities arbitrations and investment disputes. We represent investors and savers who have been taken advantage of by stockbrokers, financial planners, investment advisers, stock brokerage firms and the securities industry generally. Some cases have been brought against the largest firms on Wall Street. Others have been brought against obscure, smaller firms.

Usually, brokerage firms’ agreements with their customers require all disputes to be arbitrated. Thus, we have handled arbitrations at FINRA and its predecessor, the NASD, as well as the NYSE, AAA (American Arbitration Association) and JAMS.
