Contingent Fee Philadelphia Area Labor Lawyer Represents Only Individuals With Claims Relating to Discrimination, Unpaid Wages, Wrongful Termination, Unemployment Compensation and Employment Contracts

Employer defendants in workplace litigation are notorious for "papering" their smaller and financially weaker opponents into submission. The thought is that eventually, either you or your lawyer won't be able to afford to continue with the case or will lose the will do carry on. We know how to neutralize that advantage by seizing the initiative in defining the issues, streamlining the discovery stages of the case, and making sure your claim is ready for settlement or even trial before our opponents even know what hit them.  

How do we do this?

First, there is no substitute for experience, and Mr. Gallagher has been litigating cases since he graduated from Law School in 1991.  Second, he has an avid interest in technological advances that help the Firm, and you, obtain, master and communicate information with precision, completeness and quickness.  Through use of integrated technology, our environmentally friendly practice enables us to immediately scan, store and later retrieve "papers" submitted by opposing lawyers and companies.  This has a number of benefits. 

First, Our Firm's Philosophy is grounded in prompt communication with our clients.  Our filing system enables us to provide you with immediate news on your case via electronic formats. Thus, we can keep you informed in "real time" as to what is going on in your matter.  Second, our integrated technology helps us confront even the biggest employers on something like an even footing; we simply do not waste time groping for papers, and utilize technology to help us locate key words and phrases within voluminous documents in a matter of seconds. Our opponents often outspend us, but they never overwhelm us.

While it's often to your advantage to settle the case on favorable terms as quickly as possible, we can usually get your claims before a judge or administrative hearing officer within six months of filing in Court. That's lightning fast in the world of litigation. Our focus on representing individuals with workplace issues such as Discrimination, Retaliation, Wrongful Termination, Non-Compete Agreements, Severance Negotiations and Unemployment Claims, the selective nature of our practice, and our ability to respond quickly to your needs and tactical opportunities can make all the difference in the outcome of your case.
