$35k in lost wages recovered for residential superintendent
$19k settlement for lost overtime wages for receptionist
$27k recovered for client paid "under the table"
$11k settlement for construction worker facing discrimination
$30k unpaid wages recovered for live-in nanny
$35k in lost wages recovered
Background: A client came to us because he was being evicted from his apartment. Upon further investigation and discussion, it turned out that he was a residential superintendent for a building in New York City for over 20 years. He was paid several hundred dollars per week, but provided a free apartment in which to live.
Outcome: While there was nothing we could do about the eviction, we discovered that the client was severely underpaid during his entire tenure at the job. Unfortunately, due to the statute of limitations, we could only go back a certain number of years. However, we were able to recover approximately $35,000 for him for his lost wages.
Result:
$35,000

$19k settlement for lost overtime wages
Background: A client working as a receptionist was the recipient of constant verbal abuse by her boss.
Outcome: During the investigation of her claims, it was revealed that the employer paid her an hourly wage for 40 hours per week. However, she was required to work through her lunch break by answering phones and performing receptionist duties. She was entitled to overtime pay for the additional 5 hours weekly. Ultimately, we negotiated a settlement of approximately $19,000 on her behalf.
Result:
$19,000
$27k recovered for client paid "under the table"
Background: A client who was working in the restaurant industry was fired for allegedly looking at her cell phone while she was supposed to be serving food to customers. She disputed that.
Outcome: Upon further investigation, we discovered that she was being paid “off the books” by her employer. No taxes were being withheld, no pay stubs were provided, and she was paid inconsistently via Venmo or with cash. Her employer did not track her hours. We were able to recover approximately $27,000 for her.
Result:
$27,000
$11k settlement for construction worker
Background: The client worked for a construction company where he was treated very poorly by his manager. He was constantly belittled, had his schedule changed without notice, and was overall not treated well.
Outcome: While we could not substantiate a claim for discrimination, we did discover that this client was paid a flat daily rate for his work on job sites. We established that he should have been paid an hourly rate, and been eligible for overtime. We ended up negotiating an approximately $11,000 settlement for him.
Result:
$11,000
$30k unpaid wages recovered for nanny
Background: A woman worked as a live-in nanny for a Long Island couple, initially working around 8 hours a day for 5 days a week to assist with their young children. Despite several years of service, her hours and responsibilities grew without an increase in pay. The family frequently paid her late, ignored her complaints about unpaid hours, and occasionally asked her to work in the kitchen of their owned restaurant as a favor.
Outcome: We were able to recover a five-figure in unpaid wages for our client
Result:
$30,000
