Wage & Hour Arbitration Lawyers
Representing Workers Nationwide in Employment Arbitration Disputes
Did you sign an arbitration agreement when you started your job? If so, you may be required to settle work problems outside of court. Arbitration is a private legal process, but strict laws still apply. If you have a dispute at work after signing one of these forms, it is important to speak with an attorney who has experience handling arbitration matters.
At Josephson Dunlap, we represent employees, independent contractors, and other workers in arbitration proceedings. We never represent companies. We focus on cases involving unpaid wages, missed breaks, and overtime violations. Many employers use these agreements to try to avoid regular court, but they must still follow the law. To date, our firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars in total back wages for over 100,000 workers across the country. Every case is unique, and we are ready to review your claim and protect your rights.
We have the resources to pursue even the toughest of cases. Call (888) 992-2990 or contact us online to schedule a free consultation with our team.
Arbitration is a private way to solve legal problems without going to court. Many companies make employees sign papers saying they will use arbitration instead of suing in front of a judge and jury.
In arbitration, a neutral third party called an arbitrator looks at the evidence from both sides and makes the final decision. While the rules are more flexible and the process sometimes moves faster than a regular lawsuit, it is still a serious legal proceeding where you have the right to be represented by a lawyer.
Benefits of Arbitration:
1. Faster Decisions
Regular court cases can drag on for a long time, sometimes years just to get to a trial date. Arbitration usually moves much quicker, meaning you may get a resolution within months.
2. Less Stressful Process
Courtrooms have strict, complicated rules that can feel overwhelming. Arbitration is generally more relaxed and straightforward. Gathering and presenting your evidence is often much simpler.
3. Kept Private
Public court cases mean your personal work history and details are at times open for anyone to see. Arbitration is confidential. This means that your dispute stays private.
4. Choosing a Fair Decision Maker
In arbitration, both sides usually get a say in picking the arbitrator. This helps ensure the person making the decision is fair and neutral.
5. A Clear, Final Answer
In most cases, the arbitrator's decision is final and binding. Because appeals are very rare, the process ends cleanly, allowing you to get your resolution and move forward with your life. And, make sure you get the money that is owed to you.

It costs nothing. We offer free and confidential claim reviews to help you understand your options. We do not charge any upfront legal fees or out-of-pocket expenses. We only receive attorney fees if we win a financial recovery for you.
Getting started is quick and simple. You can fill out our secure online assessment form or call our office directly. A dedicated team member will review your job details, check for common wage violations, and help you determine your eligibility. This initial review takes only a few minutes and is completely free.
Federal and state laws strictly prohibit employers from punishing or firing workers for reporting wage violations or participating in a legal claim. This type of unfair treatment is called retaliation, and it is illegal. If your employer breaks one of these rules, our firm is ready to help you protect your rights.
No. Your initial consultation with our firm is entirely private and confidential. We will not reach out to your employer or notify them that you spoke with us during the review process. You can safely check your eligibility and learn about your rights without your employer knowing about your inquiry.
