A Lifesaver in a Complex Wage Class Action

Facing a daunting wage and hour class action, our company turned to Arthur Silbergeld. His 50 years of experience, including his recognition in employment law management, was immediately evident. He guided us through the arbitration with a strategic, steady hand, securing a favorable outcome that protected our business. Arthur’s deep expertise from over 100 trials and his professionalism from Thompson Coburn were invaluable. We could not have asked for a more capable or dedicated advocate.
