Famighetti & Weinick, PLLC

ALERT for our employee-side colleagues: Iqbal's plausibility standard applies when alleging willfulness under the FLSA, as is required to take advantage of the three year statute of limitations, instead of being limited to two years. In some cases, that may only limit damages, but in this particular case, it resulted in dismissal. https://www.linycemploymentlaw.com//court-rules-on-statut/

Last month, the Nassau County Bar Association recognized the pro bono work of its members. Pro bono work generally refers to work performed by attorneys at no charge for low income clients. The firm is proud that partner Matt Weinick was one of the lawyers recognized for his commitment to pro bono programs. Matt regularly participates in the Bar Association's pro bono open house and, since the start of the pandemic, has volunteered with the association's COVID-19 task force, providing free legal consultations for workers with pandemic related employment issues.

Wow, the great reviews are rolling in this week! Thanks Jim!

Another happy client! Thanks for the review Mark!

The loophole exists in this jurisdiction, but not in eight other appellate jurisdictions across the country.
