Rebecca King

Growing up I was taught the value of hard work, and just as importantly, the value of being treated with respect and dignity in the workplace. For many workers, their jobs take on a role beyond simply generating income. Work provides people with purpose and meaning and when workers are mistreated, the impact is felt throughout all aspects of their lives. It takes a certain amount of fortitude for workers to stand up to their employer in the face of injustice. As an attorney at Getman, Sweeney & Dunn, I have the privilege to stand with working people and fight for the wages and respect they are owed.
