I was referred by a colleague when I discussed with them about discrepancies in my pay, I was not sure if I even had a case. I thought I would have to provide documented evidence of not being paid full wages, to my surprise they took what I was able to provide, and they sought and gathered the additional documents needed for my case. I was kept up to date on every step and was totally pleased with the settlement. I tell everyone now it you have employment issues please seek out Lawyers for Justice, lay out your case and they are upfront and honest on what they can do for you.
