What Clients Say

Several clients came in having accepted for years that their salaried position simply did not include overtime. The firm pulled their job description, compared it to the FLSA’s duties test, and produced a spreadsheet showing two to three years of back overtime within the first meeting. Seeing a concrete dollar figure — not a range, a number — attached to time they had already worked was the moment reviewers describe as the emotional shift: from resigned to resolved. More than one client mentions that calculation as the reason they decided to move forward with the claim.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I owed overtime if I’m paid a salary in Orlando?

Maybe. A salary alone does not make you exempt; your job duties decide. Many salaried workers still qualify for overtime under federal rules.

How much does an overtime case cost?

Most wage cases run on contingency, paid only from a recovery. The FLSA also lets winning workers recover attorney fees. Confirm terms at your first meeting.

Where do Orlando overtime claims get filed?

Federal FLSA claims go to the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida in Orlando. State wage claims can also be filed in Florida courts. Your lawyer picks the right venue.
