Biography
The Dishman Law Firm specializes in litigation of employment law. Our firm has brought class action lawsuits on behalf of victims of illegal tip-sharing practices, failure to pay employees, and sexual harassment among many other violations of employment law.

To-date, we have obtained settlements totaling more than $2.5M on behalf of the dancers, and have also received one judgment in excess of $4.5M. Several cases are still pending.Practice Areas
