If you feel you have not been paid for the hours you’ve worked or you have not been paid overtime for working more than 40 hours a week, the good news is that it need not cost you anything to pursue your rights and to have a lawyer pursue them for you.
Speak to an attorney about what’s gone on in your particular circumstance and that attorney could help you to understand whether or not there’s a claim you can pursue and whether or not they’ll pursue it on your behalf. If they choose to, they may instruct you that they will not ask you to pay them directly but that their payment will come out of the settlement of the case or out of the verdict that the judge awards for your circumstances. In other words, very often, the employer is caused to pay for your legal fees, you don’t have to pay for them yourselves.

AndersonDodson, P.C. is a law firm dedicated to holding employers accountable for paying their employees correctly. We are aggressive and tenacious when we need to be, if that’s what it takes to get the job done. Sometimes the playground bully needs to be brought down a notch, and we are plenty equipped for a fight if it becomes necessary. But we also don’t go looking for a fight. Our mission is to get our clients paid what the law says they deserve, not to stir up trouble where none is needed. Trouble is distracting from life, and living life should always come first.
