Case Results

Public-record cases from Welmaker Law that I am authorized to discuss openly.

Most of the cases I resolve include confidentiality clauses that prevent me from sharing the details. That covers the employer's name, the settlement amount, and in some situations even the basic posture of the case. It is the trade-off the defense side typically demands as part of resolving a wage and hour matter, and it is a standard part of how these cases get settled.

The cases below are different. They are matters of public record, filed in federal court and resolved on the public docket, that I am authorized to discuss openly. For a broader sense of the kinds of cases I take across industries where I cannot describe specific results, see Industries I've Represented Workers In.

How I choose what to publish here

I add a case to this page when two things are true: the matter is part of the public record, meaning the pleadings and any settlement-approval order are on the federal docket where anyone can read them, and nothing in the resolution prevents me from describing what the case was about. That second condition is what keeps most of my work off this page. Confidentiality clauses are common, and I honor them.

I update this page as additional public-record cases close.
