Our approach is precise, clear, and geared towards maximizing your compensation. It's not always the blatant remarks or actions that signal unfair treatment; sometimes, it's the patterns we observe over time that reveal a troubling picture. It's essential to know what you're entitled to if the job doesn't work out, and how conflicts are managed while you're employed.
So, if you've blown the whistle on illegal activities or asserted your rights under employment laws, we're here to protect you. Consistently, we advocate for employees who are denied the overtime pay they're legally entitled to.

Pittsburgh is located in southwest Pennsylvania at the confluence of the Allegheny River and the Monongahela River, which combine to form the Ohio River. It developed as a vital link of the Atlantic coast and Midwest, as the mineral-rich Allegheny Mountains led to the region being contested by the French and British empires, Virginians, Whiskey Rebels, and Civil War raiders. Pittsburgh is known both as "the Steel City" for its dominant role in the history of the U.S. steel industry, and as the "City of Bridges" for its 446 bridges. For part of the 20th century, Pittsburgh was behind only New York City and Chicago in corporate headquarters employment; it had the most U.S. stockholders per capita. Starting in the post-war era, Pittsburgh leaders began to strategically divest in manufacturing and invest instead in education, science, technology, health care, and art. This led to Deindustrialization in the 1970s and 1980s, resulting in massive layoffs among blue-collar workers as steel and other heavy industries declined, and thousands of downtown white-collar workers also lost jobs when several Pittsburgh-based companies moved out.
