CLASS ACTIONS

CLASS ACTIONS

Employers, landlords, and large corporations often feel that they can treat employees and consumers illegally because the money involved is too small to be take a case to court.  They are wrong.

When these people or companies inflict the same wrong on dozens of people or more, we seek class action status so that the combined weight of many plaintiffs can be used to call attention to the illegal practice, and so that fair compensation can be obtained for all class members.

Learn About Our Class Action Practice   

WRONGFUL TERMINATION

WRONGFUL TERMINATION

Absent a contract or collective bargaining agreement, employers are free to terminate at-will employees for any reason or no reason at all – except that they cannot fire an employee on the basis of age, gender, disability (including pregnancy), race, sexual orientation, religion, or nationality.

We fight for clients who are wrongly terminated based upon an illegal reason.

If you’ve been wrongly terminated, call us and learn how we can help.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT

We have long represented the victims of workplace sexual harassment. We seek justice and fair compensation, and help give back power to sexual harassment victims. We also want to send a message to employers that sexual harassment or retaliation in any form will not be tolerated.

SEVERANCE & EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

SEVERANCE & EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

WAGE & HOUR VIOLATIONS

WAGE & HOUR VIOLATIONS

State and federal laws have strict requirements concerning compensation. Some companies, however, violate these laws by not properly compensating employees, such as not paying them to drive to a location as part of their job, wrongfully deducting money from their paychecks, failing to pay overtime, or illegally withholding commissions.

As an employment law firm, we represent workers on a contingency fee basis when employers fail to follow wage and hour laws.  Call us to learn how we can help.

Before reaching out to them, we were skeptical if we will be able to achieve the goal.Thankfully, Fogleman Law completely changed the experience for us.They were highly approachable, and were on top of the matter to get it resolved,keeping us informed throughout the process and also got the result we wanted. Matt and Jillian handled my case with extreme care. We felt truly supported and completely informed. We can't thank them(especially Jill) enough for their hard work, which ultimately led to a favorable outcome. I highly recommend Fogleman Law to anyone in need of legal representation. They'll never let you down!!

Matthew Fogelman and Jeff Simmons Were referred to me by a family friend who is partner in another law firm. This is the first time I have ever been involved in any legal case and really knew nothing at all about the process. Matt was extremely helpful in guiding me through the entire process. He took a personal approach and made me feel confident in my decisions throughout the long process. He was able to win a substantial settlement for me in which I am truly grateful. Thank you Matt!

I recently retained Matthew Fogelman to assist me navigating a viscous dog attack in my own back yard. Once I supplied all the reports from the police, medical, vet and eye witnesses, Matthew took care of everything. I believe he worked hard to get me a fair settlement. If you are ever in this situation or something similar, you can trust Fogelman Law, LLC.

Matt and his team were amazing to work with. He took one of the more difficult situations we've been in and removed most of the headaches for, while working hard to get a fair settlement at the end of the case. He was warm and caring with us as his clients, while also clearly direct and good at negotiating with the opposition. We would turn to him again in a second if we ever needed representation.

I've worked with Matt over many years on multiple employee-side matters. Matt's command of employment law and ability to see the bigger context was invaluable in conducting successful negotiations. In addition, Matt was clear when other experts were required, leading to greater confidence in the final product. With no hesitation, I would work with Matt on any employment matter in the future.
