Atlanta Overtime Law
Atlanta Overtime Lawyer - Mitchell D. Benjamin
Atlanta Overtime Lawyer, Mitchell D. Benjamin, focuses primarily on the practice areas of commercial litigation and wage and hour law in Atlanta. He has represented over a thousand employees in a variety of employment related disputes, including unpaid overtime and minimum wages, sexual harassment, discrimination claims based on race, age, gender, national origin, or disability, and retaliation cases in both the state and federal courts.
He is dedicated to the unique interests of each individual, business, and union that comes to him for help. In addition to litigating employee claims, he uses his mediation skills to resolve claims by settlement and agreement when possible. Although many employment matters do not need to be litigated, Mr. Benjamin will aggressively litigate cases in court when needed.
Mr. Benjamin frequently represents public safety officers, such as police, firefighters, emergency medical technicians and paramedics in overtime cases brought under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), as well as handling their grievances, appeals, and civil service hearings. He also represents the firefighter unions in the Georgia counties of Gwinnett, Dekalb, Cobb, and Coweta.
In 2008, Mr. Benjamin represented over 600 City of Atlanta police officers in an overtime lawsuit resulting in a settlement of $7,500,000. He has also been hired by proactive businesses and public entities to review their overtime and wage policies to ensure they were in compliance with the law, and to recommend changes to these policies when needed.
