Cases Currently Open to New Clients

Hofmann v. Niva Dallas Gift Shop, Inc.
This is a class action asserted on behalf of hourly sales representatives, assistant managers, and supervisors. Because these workers were paid by the hour, we contend that they should have been paid overtime when they worked over forty hours in a workweek. If you believe you have a similar matter and desire representation, please submit your case.

Nelson v. Almega Cable
This is a nationwide class action on behalf of cable installers. These individuals were paid a flat rate, or, in the alternative, a salary. We contend that these workers should have been paid overtime when they worked over forty hours in a workweek. This suit seeks damages for unpaid wages, and additional damages. If you believe you have a similar matter and desire representation, please submit your case.

Oinonen v. TRX, Inc.
This is a nationwide class action on behalf of workers over forty who were laid off in and around 2008. We allege that TRX laid off workers over forty at a rate roughly twice that of workers under forty. Furthermore, TRX gave older workers an invalid release that failed to identify the positions considered in the layoff and the ages of the workers affected. Because of this, workers who received a severance without the required information can keep the severance payment and join the suit.
