The first decision of federal district court in Ohio to adopt an employee-favorable start date to the 2015 home health overtime regulations.
“In that moment, I know I’ve got them. Wage and hour laws are unique because they impose personal liability for unpaid wages, regardless of whether there is a corporation. When I receive a call like the one above, I know I’m dealing with someone who not only does not know this area of law but didn’t bother to research what they might be missing. They are about to get some hard lessons—paid for by their client.
“I am fiercely loyal to my firm and my clients—and I expect the same in return. In part, this means that I strive to demonstrate the highest level of ethics and legal mastery while advancing my firm’s and my clients’ interests. Anything less reflects poorly on not just me, but my ‘pack.’ And that’s unacceptable.
“The law is more than its text of a statute: It is how that text is interpreted and applied.
