Wage & Hour Arbitration Lawyers
Representing Workers Nationwide in Employment Arbitration Disputes
Did you sign an arbitration agreement when you started your job? If so, your employer may require you to resolve workplace disputes outside of court. Arbitration is a private legal process, but strict laws still apply. If a dispute arises after you signed one of these forms, it is important to speak with an attorney who has experience handling these matters.
At Josephson Dunlap, we represent employees, independent contractors, and other workers in arbitration proceedings. We never represent companies. Our practice focuses on unpaid wages, missed breaks, and overtime violations. Many employers use arbitration agreements to avoid court, but they must still follow the law. To date, our firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars in back wages for over 100,000 workers across the country.

What Clients Say
Some of our clients from accross the country share their experiences with us.
"Excellent law firm. We had some problems with the courts which was not their fault, but they worked through it and I got paid just like they said. They even let me come pick up my check in person instead of waiting on them to mail it. I would give them 10 stars if I could. I would most definitely recommend this law firm to anyone!! A+++++++"
"The entire staff has been great handling the case from start to finish. They have kept me notified of changes and announcements along the way. Would recommend using them if you find yourself needing legal guidance"
"I emailed in with a question and received an immediate response from a supervisor.... On a Saturday! Yvonne was so courteous and helpful and followed up on my issue after the weekend. I truly appreciated the customer service that was provided!"
What Is Arbitration?
Arbitration is a private method for resolving legal disputes without going to court. Many companies require employees to sign agreements stating they will use arbitration rather than filing a lawsuit before a judge and jury.
In arbitration, a neutral third party called an arbitrator reviews the evidence from both sides and issues a final decision. The process is generally more flexible and faster than traditional litigation, but it is still a formal legal proceeding where you have the right to be represented by an attorney.
How Arbitration Works for Workers
-
Decisions Often Come Faster
Court cases can take years just to reach a trial date. Arbitration typically moves more quickly, and you may reach a resolution in a matter of months rather than waiting on a court docket.
-
A Less Formal Process
Courtrooms operate under strict procedural rules that are difficult to follow without legal training. Arbitration is generally less rigid, and presenting your evidence tends to be more straightforward for both sides.
-
Your Dispute Stays Private
Court cases become part of the public record. Arbitration proceedings are confidential by nature, which protects your privacy throughout the process.
-
Both Sides Help Choose the Decision-Maker
In most arbitrations, both parties have input in selecting the arbitrator. This helps ensure the person deciding your case is neutral and qualified to handle employment disputes.
-
A Final, Binding Outcome
The arbitrator's decision is generally final. Because appeals are rare, the process ends with a clear resolution, allowing you to recover what is owed and put the matter behind you.
