The Law Offices of Virginia L Landry, Inc.

In California, if you refuse to take a breath test, a police offer can still arrest you. There are consequences for that refusal, but the benefit is they may not be able to prove what your alcohol level was. The Department of Motor Vehicles however, if you refuse to take a test, will take away your license for a longer period of time if they can prove that you chose not to give a test to determine what the alcohol in your system was. There are legal issues that go along with that case, and we would welcome the opportunity to talk to you about what happened on your case if you refused to take a breath test. I’m Virginia Landry.

Why do I need a lawyer to file a workers' compensation claim?

Kantrovitz & Associates, P.C.

The biggest problems that you face in a worker’s compensation case are principally dealing with issues of what they call extent of disability. Initially when someone first gets hurt at work, it’s pretty straightforward – they can’t do the functions of their job. And then if they have an injury that turns out to be more significant, that doesn’t allow them to go back and do their previous line of employment, the question then shifts to can they do any type of a job in the greater open labor market. And what I always like to say is that, without proper representation, that insurance companies and insurance company lawyers will assume anything that they want to assume. My name is attorney Stephen Kantrovitz of Kantrovitz and Associates. For the past twenty years, we’ve been representing individuals in the Greater Boston area in worker’s compensation, personal injury, and social security disability claims.

What is an employment class action lawsuit?

The Harman Firm, P.C.

In the employment contacts a class action law suit is most often times involving wage and hours issues - where your employer hasn’t paid you overtime, or hasn’t paid you time and a half for that overtime, or in the state of New York hasn’t offered you the lunch break and certain deals that you’re entitled to. If that employer has treated a certain group of employees, say all of the secretaries who are paid hourly, the same way you can take certain of those employees and have them be representative of a class, which is the group of secretaries. And that is essentially what an employment related class action is. It can also arise in the discrimination context. But you need to have a class. In other words you need to have a large group of similarly situation people. My name is Walker Harman. I am the managing attorney of the Harman Firm. If you believe that you’ve been the victim of illegal employment discrimination, we are eager to speak to you! Please give us a call.
