Hartford Labor Lawyer

Overview

Tom has represented individuals from a wide range of backgrounds, including corporate officers, professional employees and government officials as well as drivers, factory workers and mechanics. He advises employees with ongoing employment disputes and negotiates severance agreements. He has litigated cases involving age, race, national origin, sex discrimination, the Americans With Disabilities Act, Sarbanes-Oxley Act, whistleblower protection, First Amendment rights and other civil rights issues, and employment contract issues. He has won six figure jury verdicts and settlements in employment and retaliatory discharge cases.

Tom has extensive experience representing and advising unions with respect to administrative proceedings, arbitrations, contract negotiations and administration, and court litigation. In recent years, he has worked with unions in a variety of settings in organizing campaigns. Over the past 20 years, his clients have successfully organized more than ten thousand workers into the labor movement.

Early in his career, Tom handled difficult and extensive litigation arising out of plant sales and closings, including an NLRB case against Allied Signal that generated more than $18 million for employees who lost their jobs due to a plant closing. Twenty years later, the Company, now Honeywell, attempted to renege on a promise made to provide lifetime medical benefits for employees who retired while the plant was open. Thanks to the strong language negotiated by the UAW back when the plant was still open and litigation support from the Union, we worked with pension litigation specialist Bill Wertheimer to win a court order guaranteeing lifetime medical benefits for retirees and their spouses, as well as an additional $100,000 is compensation for retirees whose benefits had been briefly withheld.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level: - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
Credentials: - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
Cost: - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
City: - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

How long have you been in practice?
How many cases like mine have you handled?
How often do you settle cases out of court?
What are your fees and costs?
What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
