REDUCED ATTORNEYS FEES During these tough economic times, many people are struggling to make ends meet. Our firm has decided that during this time, we will reduce our attorney’s fees on all Workers’ Compensation claims from 20% to 17-1/2% and on all types of Personal Injury cases from 33% to 30%. While we want people to know that we are reducing our fees, we also want to make them aware that we will provide the same high level of service and achieve the same high level of success that we have over the past 38 years in representing injury victims. Reducing our attorney’s fees is just a small gesture, but one that we hope puts a little more money back in the pockets of the people who need it most. (More)

Most employees qualify to receive overtime pay with a few exceptions. However, some employers ignore the laws under the FLSA and do not pay their workers overtime pay:
