Experienced Class Action Lawsuit Attorney in New Mexico
Helping You Take Group Action to Resolve an Employment Law Dispute
It’s not uncommon, in an employment situation, for an employer to engage in wrongful behavior that affects a large number of people. In many of those situations, the individual losses are significant to the victims, but relatively small as far as legal claims are concerned. These circumstances may be ideal for what’s known as a “class action.” If you have a wage and hour claim, or any other employment dispute, and you believe you are one of many who have suffered the same loss, you want to speak to an experienced lawyer to determine whether your collective claims form the basis for a potential class action. We can help.
