Dedicated to Workplace Justice
Since 1995, our wage and hour attorneys have fought to ensure workers get the pay they deserve. We've recovered over $300 million in unpaid wages and damages for employees across the country. Employers often try to cut corners – paying a salary when overtime should be owed, forcing people to work off-the-clock, misclassifying employees as contractors, or skimming tips. No matter the tactic, if your employer denied you fair pay, we're here to help you take action.

Experienced Representation
Our attorneys have recovered millions in unpaid wages for employees across all industries.
No Recovery, No Fee
We work on a contingency basis, meaning you don't pay unless we win your case.
Personalized Approach
We take the time to understand your unique situation and develop a tailored legal strategy.
Key Wage & Hour Issues We Handle
We specialize in all aspects of wage and hour law, helping employees recover the compensation they deserve.
Overtime Violations
Were you denied time-and-a-half pay for working over 40 hours a week? We'll help you claim what you're owed.
Minimum Wage Claims
If your hourly pay or tips fell below the legal minimum, we'll fight to get those wages back.
Misclassification
Salaried 'managers' or 1099 contractors in name only? We expose wrongful classifications and recover unpaid overtime and benefits.
Off-the-Clock Work
Forced to work through breaks, after hours, or before clocking in? That's illegal – and you deserve compensation for every minute worked.
Stolen Tips & Unpaid Commissions
We hold employers accountable when they withhold tips, tip pool improperly, or fail to pay earned commissions/bonuses.
Other Wage Theft Cases
From unpaid meal/rest breaks to prevailing wage violations on government contracts – if you didn't receive rightful pay, our attorneys can help.

Fighting for Justice in the Workplace
We believe every worker deserves fair compensation for their labor. Our mission is to hold employers accountable and ensure employees receive the wages they've earned.

Results That Matter
We've helped thousands of employees recover the wages they deserve. Here's what our clients say.
"I had a great experience working with Tim Prol and his paralegal, Cassandra. From start to finish, they were both incredibly professional, responsive, and easy to work with. Tim made a stressful and unfamiliar process feel manageable, and I always felt like I was in capable hands. Cassandra was equally helpful, friendly, organized, and on top of every detail. While I hope I never need legal assistance in this type of situation again, I would return to Tim and his team without hesitation. Highly recommend."

"I cannot begin to thank my lawyer and her paralegal for their commitment, focus, honesty and success in helping me with my discrimination case. The outcome I was hoping for was achieved by my team at Smith Law Group and I would encourage anyone who was needlessly discriminated against to give them a call. You will not be disappointed."
