What We Do Best

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.

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 in your hands. Let us help you.

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. Know your rights and let us help you.

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. Let's work together on your case.

Client Testimonials

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."

LolaMarie Hallcustomer's testimonial

"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."
