Our law firm exclusively represents workers in wage and overtime litigation. Our cases range from “single-plaintiff” lawsuits worth a few thousand dollars to class action lawsuits worth millions. We have enjoyed great success by focusing on the quality – rather than the size – of our client’s claims.
Many of our cases are referred to us by our friends at other law firms. As a result, we have had the great pleasure of writing hundreds of referral fee checks to fellow lawyers. We enjoy paying referral fees and we always pay a fair referral fee.
We are happy to provide you with this “18-Month Referral Fee Report.” It summarizes the various referral fees we’ve paid between January 1, 2016 and July 20, 2017.
