WAGE & HOUR
Williams Dirks Dameron represents both individuals and classes of employees who are not being paid properly.
How are employees improperly paid?
Employers wrongfully steal wages from employees in two primary ways:
-
Classifying employees as salaried employees when they should be entitled to overtime; and
-
Refusing to pay employees for time they work, including "off the clock" work.

Contingency Fee Model
Williams Dirks Dameron represents clients on a contingency basis, meaning that we do not bill clients by the hour. Instead our clients pay no legal fees unless we ultimately recover money for the client. This contingency model where we get paid only if our client gets paid, aligns our interests with our clients' interest - interests that maximize recovery as efficiently as possible.
