Employment Law
Wage and hour claims, separation agreements and workplace policies. We represent employees with pay problems and advise small employers who want to get it right the first time.
Fair Pay, Clear Rules, Honest Advice
For employees, we handle unpaid overtime, misclassification, final paycheck disputes and severance negotiations. We start by rebuilding your hours from whatever records exist, because the numbers decide what a claim is worth.
For small employers, we write handbooks people will read, review pay practices before the Department of Labor does, and help with the hard conversations around discipline and separation.
- Unpaid overtime and wage claims
- Independent contractor misclassification
- Severance and separation agreements
- Handbooks and pay practice reviews

Workplace Questions

Take the time the agreement allows. Many include a release of claims, and it is worth knowing what you are giving up before you sign.

on Paper
Every wage matter starts with a spreadsheet, not a demand letter. Once the hours and the math are solid, we decide together whether to negotiate, mediate or file.
