Attorney Information
Overview
He has also represented a national children's clothing store's employees alleging unpaid overtime, and negotiated a $2.1-million settlement on their behalf. In addition to retail workers, Robert secured a $1.65-million settlement on behalf of nurses and other healthcare workers, as well as a settlement with a fast food chain that resulted in a monitoring program being instituted to ensure compliance with meal and rest break laws.
Robert grew up in New Hampshire, hoping to become an attorney and to work toward making society fairer for working-class families like his own. After graduating first in his high school class, he went to Brown University, graduating in 1988. He received a master's degree in public policy from Harvard University in 1991, and then made a permanent home in California, putting himself through law school with the help of scholarships. He received his law degree from Stanford Law School in 1998.
Consistent with Robert's vision, Lawyers for Workplace Fairness seeks to represent any worker treated unfairly by an employer. Workers come to the firm after being treated unfairly on the job, and in many instances after other lawyers have turned them away.

Not only are any initial consultations free, there is no cost whatsoever to you, unless we negotiate a settlement for you or a court enters a judgment on your behalf.
