As is the trend with her practice increasing in employment work, Katy Young handled her first-ever emergency basis Labor Commissioner hearing for an existing client. The client called at 9:00 PM on a Tuesday night and explained that her ex-business partner/father of her children checked the mail after a long delay and found a notice of a hearing set to happen the next morning at 9:00 AM. With the client frantic as to what to do, and Katy knowing that owners of the business would be personally liable for the employee’s $50,000 claim if they lost before the Labor Commissioner, Katy took immediate action. Our superstar employment law attorney Sean Gentry was not available for the hearing, so he and Katy immediately did a late-night strategy session to prepare. Katy appeared at the hearing on behalf of her client and settled the case that morning for a mere $2,500, broken down into five payments – a fraction of the cost of the original claim. The client was beyond thrilled – and Katy unlocked a new skill in covering emergency basis Labor Commissioner hearings!
