We are happy to report that the firm of Ortiz & Moeslinger, P.C. has directed another cy pres award (unclaimed money from class action settlements) to us!
The award comes from the settlement of a case brought under Massachusetts law for unpaid wages.
Nicholas Ortiz and Raven Moeslinger represented the plaintiffs.
Attorney Ortiz has dedicated his legal career to representing workers seeking to recover earned wages, and consumers subject to unfair or deceptive economic practices. Attorney Moeslinger has practiced civil litigation for more than 10 years, focusing on wage and hour, consumer protection, and class action cases.
The firm brings cases for unpaid wages under the Massachusetts Wage Act, Overtime Act, Fair Labor Standards Act, Prevailing Wage Law, and other statutes. These cases often involve public construction workers, sales commission disputes, unpaid overtime, on-call time, travel time, travel expense reimbursement, accrued vacation time, and related theories of legal liability.
Ortiz & Moeslinger also offers a News and Resources page and a Quick Guide to Unpaid Wages to help Massachusetts employees learn about their rights.
