Matthew Fenton Bio
We are Employee Rights Attorneys dedicated to upholding the rights of workers. Recognizing the power that employers, and their lawyers, have over employees, we started a law firm to balance out that power — going toe to toe with companies large and small to fight for employee rights.. Our path to protecting the rights of Florida workers began in the 1990s when employee rights were rapidly changing. Employees were finally allowed the right to trial by jury in employment cases.. While working in the corporate world, Steven Wenzel observed employers always seemed to have the upper hand in employment law disputes. He wanted to give employees a strong voice of their own, which is why he started a law firm and then met Matthew Fenton, who was clerking for a federal judge and seeing the inequities in action right in the courtroom. As soon as he finished his clerkship, Mr. Fenton was asked to join in the fight, and soon after, became partner.. Luis A. Cabassa, a well-respected litigator and co-chair with Mr. Fenton of the Labor and Employment section of the Hillsborough County Bar, had a genuine passion for representing employees. He joined forces with the firm to battle powerful companies and help workers get the justice they deserve.. We have witnessed the illegal acts some companies got away with because they could afford better attorneys. We started the firm to stand up to the tyrant’s that big businesses would hire.. Wenzel, Fenton, Cabassa, P.A. has grown and broadened our ability to help employees across the state, and currently has ten employment lawyers, with resources to take on any size employer while being able to keep a close relationship with our clients.We help the victims of employee rights violations and do everything in our power to get our clients the retribution they deserve.
