Kaplan Law Firm Secures $219,500 Collective Action Settlement For Workers’ Unpaid Wages

Kaplan Law Firm, PLLC and co-counsel Central Texas attorney Edmond Moreland recently settled a nationwide wage and hour collective action on behalf of 46 plaintiffs located across the country, including a plaintiff in Austin, TX. The total maximum settlement value was $219,500, with $88,000 in attorneys’ fees and expenses, and a maximum amount of $131,500 available to be claimed by plaintiffs and the settlement class.

“This settlement was the result of persistent and thoughtful negotiation. I am pleased that we reached an agreement right here in Texas that ensures that hard-working people, from Austin all the way to the East and West Coasts, will have the opportunity to receive just compensation for the hours they worked. It is an honor and a privilege to be able to do this work, and to seek out and secure justice for these workers,” Austin Kaplan said.
