» Employment Law for Employees. As an employee, there are a number of different ways an employer can discriminate or mistreat you while on the job. One of the most common grievances is the insistence of employers in refusing to pay workers’ overtime despite clear-cut federal and state laws mandating overtime pay. Other unscrupulous employers may try to bilk employees out of rightful pay for hours worked or retaliate against workers for standing up for the law against their employer. In many scenarios, employers use intimidation tactics to lure employees away from the prospect of filing a claim for unpaid wages and, sadly, many employees back down and decide not to exercise their rights.

» Class Actions. A class action is one in which a number of similarly-situated plaintiffs raise a claim against a defendant for similar issues and damages. Class actions are sometimes preferable to individual claims as they promote economy and efficiency- especially in the context of widespread statewide or nationwide injuries.
» Defective Drugs and Medical Devices. Defective medical devices and dangerous drugs are, unfortunately, one of the most common reasons for a personal injury lawsuit in the United States today.
» Fraud Against the Government. As a taxpayer, you can bring qui tam, or whistleblower, litigation to recover funds dispersed by the federal government under false pretenses. In other words, if you have information or knowledge that a business or entity is unlawfully receiving federal funds either through contract work or federal program money, you could be entitled to up to 25% of the recovery amount in the event the qui tam action is successful. Fraudulent activity can range from doctored billing to bribery.
