Lustig & Associates Expands Its Federal Litigation Practice

Nov. 8, 2011 - PRLog -- The U.S. Dept of :Labor estimates that close to 70% of all employers routinely violate wage and hour regulations. Unfortunately, many do not realize it until they are sued.

According to the 2010 Fulbright report on litigation trends, the fastest growing area of litigation is wage and hour issues, up 18 percent in 2010 alone. This trend is expected to continue.

Wage and hour issues are also one of the fastest growing areas for class action lawsuits. Last year, the ten largest private wage and hour settlements totaled nearly $364 million.

Established in 1978, Lustig & Associates has extensive experience representing both employers and employees in FLSA litigation. This experience gives the lawyers at Lustig & Associates a unique perspective of these types of claims, particularly unpaid overtime. If you have been denied overtime pay or have been sued for failure to pay overtime or minimum wages, call Lustig & Associates for a free consultation.
