ABOUT MICHAEL JOSEPHSON

I am the managing partner in Josephson Dunlap one of the preeminent Plaintiff oriented law firms in the country. We are lawyers for the workers. I am licensed in both Texas and Pennsylvania. I have practiced law and been admitted pro hac vice in courts located throughout Alabama, California, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Texas. I am in charge of my firm’s wage and hour practice. A substantial portion of my time is devoted to challenging illegal wage and hour practices on behalf of current and former employees. My practice is a “hands-on” approach; meaning that I personally perform the case work in all stages of the litigation, from drafting of the initial complaint to discovery and motion matters, trial and appeal, if necessary. My approach has produced very favorable results in difficult and complex cases that have required a substantial amount of time, money, and effort. I have served as either lead counsel or co-counsel in over 750 class and collective actions or individual cases seeking damages for unpaid overtime and wages based on allegations that employees worked off the clock, were misclassified as exempt or independent contractors, or were victims of regular rate and/or technical violations of both state and federal wage laws. All of these cases were handled on a contingency basis in which I received a percentage of the recovery and advanced all of the costs of litigation. I have represented tens of thousands of employees and have been involved in litigating cases in almost every major industry, including national food processors, retailers, transportation, government agencies, call centers, chemical plants, oil and gas operators, staffing, technical companies, stadium service providers, and litigation service companies.
