What Judges Say About Us
“The court emphasizes the results obtained for Plaintiffs, the experience, reputation, and ability of the attorneys, and the attorneys’ fees awards in similar cases. Each Plaintiff will recover more than the overtime wages and liquidated damages owed to them under the FLSA for hours worked over forty in a work week based on N&C’s time records. Such a generous outcome results from the experience, reputation, and abilities of Plaintiffs’ Counsel.”
– Judge Sherri A. Lydon, Amoko v. N&C Claims Service, 3:20-cv-04346-SAL (District of South Carolina Columbia Division), Order Approving Settlement Agreement
“The quality of representation for the class was excellent. It was a well litigated case and well tried case at trial. … [and referring to both sides] the case was just terribly well done, it was hard-fought at every point, as it should be, and yet even though counsel were suitably aggressive, you were always respectful of the process, and it’s a real pleasure for me to preside over it, and I want to thank you all.”
