Chris's Case Results

Our team of skilled, experienced attorneys can help tip the scales in your favor.

Case Results Vary

PRIOR RESULTS FROM THESE CASES DO NOT GUARANTEE FUTURE SUCCESS.  EACH CASE IS FACT DEPENDENT AND RESULTS VARY.

- Labor & Employment

Austin Jenkins v. ELDOR Automotive (W.D. Va. 2024)

Settled complex class-action claims against local employer for failing to pay employees for work performed before their shift officially started and failing to include non-discretionary bonuses in employees' regular rates of pay, resulting in underpayment of their overtime premiums.  Under the settlement agreement, employees received double the amount withheld, plus 8% interest.  Our firm did not take a penny of this money, because the employer paid additional money to cover our fees!

Joyce Bolender v. Bio-Medical Applications (W.D. Va. 2024)

Helped older employee who was terminated for a similar offense a younger employee committed without being disciplined.  Age discrimination cases are very hard, but this one turned out well.  The case was featured in multiple legal journals, including Virginia Lawyers Weekly, in part because the Court allowed our client to pursue claims against all entities in the chain leading back to the parent corporation applying a legal theory called the Integrated Employer Doctrine.  The full text of the opinion is available here.

Confidential Workplace Violence Retaliation Settlement (2023)

Successfully settled whistleblower claims against Lynchburg business resulting in 6-figure settlement after employee was terminated for complaining about workplace violence.

Faith Hammer v. Johnson Senior Center, et al. (W.D. Va. 2021)
