Severance Packages
Employment Contracts
Non-Compete Agreements
Wage and Hour Violations
Unpaid Overtime

During the past 23 years, Mr. Fortune has negotiated countless severance packages on behalf of executives and has helped many others obtain favorable employment contracts. He also has helped numerous employees negotiate favorable non-compete agreements.

In addition many employees have been wrongfully denied overtime pay or have been classified as "management" in order to pay them a fixed "salary," no matter how many hours they work in a week. These types of violations are very common and affected employees can recover an amount equal to twice their unpaid overtime dating back two, and sometimes three years.
