PURSUING JUSTICE FOR REAL PEOPLE
LET THE GOOD GUYS RECOVER YOUR BACK WAGES
“We’re building a new kind of law firm, one that’s dedicated to educating ordinary people about their rights as well as protecting them when those rights are in danger.”
Examples Of Employment Law Violations
Our Pittsburgh employment law attorneys help employees whose employers violated workers’ rights when they:
-
Refused to pay required to pay overtime
-
Deliberately misclassified workers to avoid paying benefits and overtime
-
Retaliated against a worker who complained about mistreatment or filed a formal complaint
-
Harassed or bullied a worker or overlooked mistreatment by other employees
-
Discriminated against a worker on the basis of gender, ethnicity, race, religion or other protected category
​
We take on cases involving these and other violations of state and federal labor laws. For example, workers who do not receive overtime pay as defined by the Fair Labor Standards Act are legally entitled to receive twice the amount of unpaid overtime plus attorney’s fees. We work hard to make sure this happens.

A Pennsylvania Law Firm Focused On Wage And Hours Violations
​
Our law firm has a particular interest in wage and hour violations. Attorney Josh Geist serves as local counsel for a Texas-based firm that files class action lawsuits against companies extracting natural gas from the Marcellus Shale fields in Pennsylvania. These companies have developed strategies to avoid paying workers required overtime. As local counsel, Josh files the lawsuits in Pennsylvania after the Texas firm develops the case. He has worked on nearly 40 such cases and has helped hundreds of gas field workers who were denied their rights to overtime pay.

BIG NUMBERS AND DOLLAR SIGNS CAN’T TELL YOU WHETHER A LAW FIRM IS RIGHT FOR YOU
​
When you’re choosing an advocate to fight for your rights, the first question you want to ask is, “Does this attorney understand someone like me?” and “Have they had success in handling a case like mine?”
