Fitapelli & Schaffer, LLP, is a New York employment law firm committed to defending the rights of workers in all industries throughout the state. Over the years, we have recovered millions of dollars for our clients. Within employment law, our lawyers maintain a particular focus on wage and hour violations. Such cases frequently involve:
- Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) violations
- Overtime violations
- Tip misappropriation
- Failure to pay commissions
We have experience handling national wage and hour disputes, such as class action suits for unpaid overtime. In litigating our cases, we have recovered millions of dollars for our clients.
In addition to wage and hour violations, we assist workers with wrongful termination claims, discrimination claims, harassment claims, retaliation claims and other employment law matters. We have been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Law Journal, on MSNBC, CNN, ABC and other media outlets.
Founding partners Joseph A. Fitapelli and Brian S. Schaffer are both former defense attorneys who offer clients the benefit of their knowledge and experience on the other side. They are also frequent speakers at continuing legal education seminars in New York. In addition, Mr. Fitapelli and Mr. Schaffer were selected for inclusion in the 2013 Super Lawyers Magazine. This is an honor that very few New York lawyers achieved.
The law firm of Fitapelli & Schaffer, LLP, is conveniently located in midtown Manhattan close to Penn Station and Grand Central Station. We offer free initial consultations and offer Spanish translation services as needed. Call us today.
