National Overtime Labor Law Attorney

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) established labor laws to protect workers. Included in the FLSA are minimum wage provisions, child labor standards and a requirement that employers pay time-and-a-half overtime to most workers for overtime hours.

While most workers are non-exempt and entitled to overtime pay for all hours worked over 40 hours per week (or 8 hours per day in certain states), some positions are exempt from FLSA requirements, including certain salaried upper management positions. Therefore, it is important to discuss your situation with an experienced employment law attorney to determine your rights and whether you have a claim.

Based in Houston, Texas and representing employees nationwide, including New York and California, the Lore Law Firm enjoys an excellent reputation as one of the leading law firms in wage and overtime law in the country. Headed by attorney Michael Lore, we provide employees and their families the means to fight back and receive the wages they deserve.

The average case takes about 12 to 18 months, however, the time it takes to get through the claim resolution process varies quite a lot from case to case. If the evidence of liability is strong and there is little doubt as to the nature and extent of the plaintiff's injuries, the case should settle for a reasonable value within four to six months after the accident and completion of your medical treatment, without the need for litigation. Any number of factors can complicate and extend this timeframe. Learn more!

In most personal injury and wrongful death cases, you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault for the injury or death. In many situations involving auto accidents and or on the job injuries, you may be entitled to compensation even if you are partially to blame. Learn more!

One of the most immediate and serious issues injured people face is how their medical treatment and case costs will be paid while their case is in progress.

Medical attention must be sought immediately, but a major concern among even those with health insurance is – will my health insurance cover the bills related to an auto accident or other injury causing incident. This is another reason to contact an attorney sooner rather than later.  If you don't have insurance or it does not appear that your health insurance will cover your medical expenses, a personal injury attorney will be able to help you get access to care.
