"Exceptional lawyer but also a great communicator"
I had the pleasure of working with Aaron on my case at Fair Labor Law, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. Aaron is not only an exceptional lawyer but also a great communicator. He is logical in his approach and takes the time to ensure you understand all the possibilities and outcomes related to your case.
From the beginning, Aaron made me feel incredibly comfortable. He truly understood the stress that my case brought and was always thoughtful in his approach. Aaron educated me thoroughly on the procedures involved and provided spot-on advice every step of the way.
If you are considering an employment lawyer, I highly recommend getting a consultation with Aaron. His expertise and supportive demeanor have my full endorsement. Thank you, Aaron, for your outstanding service and for making a challenging situation much more manageable. And thank you for winning!

Wage Violations in Restaurants and Bars
Waitstaff in restaurants, bars, and other hospitality settings are generally considered “tipped employees” if they customarily receive more than $30 in tips each month. As a result, employers can choose to directly pay a rate lower than the applicable minimum wage so long as the employee makes up the difference in tips.
Wage violations can occur in restaurant and hospitality settings when employers steal, reduce, or misappropriate employee tips. While tip pooling is allowed, it must exclude managers and generally cannot include employees that do not customarily earn tips. Deductions are only permitted in very specific circumstances.
All tipped employees must also earn the applicable minimum wage for each hour worked. If they do not make sufficient tips, their employer is legally required to make up the difference. We handle all types of tipped employee wage claims.
Wage Violations in the Janitorial Industry
Janitors are often misclassified as independent contractors and are consequently denied benefits and applicable overtime pay. Even when a janitor is appropriately classified as an employee, they still may be unlawfully denied overtime compensation if they are paid a fixed rate or are expected to work “off-the-clock.” Some cleaning agencies will also unlawfully deduct uniforms and equipment from an employee or contractor’s paycheck. Our legal team can help janitors and cleaning professionals understand their rights and legal options.

Wage Violations in the Landscaping Industry
Landscapers are frequently expected to complete “off-the-clock” work and work through unpaid meal breaks mandated by certain states. Many landscaping companies illegally pay workers a flat daily or weekly rate that does not include overtime pay. Some companies that pay by the hour do not pay for all work time, such as time traveling to a shop or other place where they load and unload tools and equipment. Other landscaping companies misclassify landscapers as independent contractors to avoid paying overtime. If a landscaper is hired by a company and is directed where to go and how to complete their work, they are likely an employee, not an independent contractor. Landscaping companies may also unlawfully deduct equipment and uniforms from workers’ pay. Our labor and employment law attorney can assist landscapers with exercising their rights and recovering what they are owed when their rights are violated.
