Today, Robert Byrnes is the firm’s head of litigation at Lawyers for Employee and Consumer Rights APC. During the past decade, Robert has represented employees with legal claims in state and federal courts, as well as in the arbitration settings that employers increasingly force workers into. He has represented, and secured substantial settlements on behalf of workers in the many industries most affected by workplace-protection laws. For example, Robert negotiated a $2-million dollar settlement on behalf of a national department store’s sales associates who alleged they had been denied meal and rest breaks.. He has also represented a national children’s clothing store’s employees alleging unpaid overtime, and negotiated a $2.1-million settlement on their behalf. In addition to retail workers, Robert secured a $1.65-million settlement on behalf of nurses and other healthcare workers, as well as a settlement with a fast food chain that resulted in a monitoring program being instituted to ensure compliance with meal and rest break laws.
