Advocates for Workplace Fairness

I entered this field to find solutions to workers’ problems and to make sure workers weren’t double-talked out of their rights.
”
Our mission is to empower employees by championing their rights in the workplace.
”
Fair Play: Our job is to guarantee that the most powerful corporations in the world respect their workers' rights, not just the bottom line.
”
Working Together: Our work is to make sure you get paid for yours.
”
Judgment: Our approach is to do what's best for the client. We have the sense to negotiate when possible and the confidence to take cases to trial when necessary.
”
Advocacy: Employees deserve a strong advocate — an advocate who will fight tenaciously for their interests while also providing objective and honest advice.
”
Inclusion: We are committed to fighting to ensure that all employees are included and treated fairly in the workplace.
”
Our goal is to provide access to justice for workers whose rights have been violated. Class actions amplify our efforts because they give us the ability to enforce the rights of many workers at once.
