In www.AndersonDodson.com I recover unpaid and underpaid wages and compensation for employeees who should been paid correctly in the first place in NY, CO & GA. I also review and negotiate employment contracts and tricky workplace situations in general. At www.NewLeaf.Family, I work with Coloradans experiencing family and relationship disputes and transitions, with a mission of empowering my clients to make the best decisions for themselves and their families and then working with them to see that through.
I actually care about getting my clients what they deserve, I'm persistent and tenacious, and I know what I'm doing.
In regard to my wage practice, I represent individuals (and classes of individuals) in cases including unpaid and underpaid wages (overtime, minimum wage, commission nonpayment, improper tip payment practices... basically anything related to workers not getting paid what they should have). I do this on a contingency basis the vast majority of the time, so that clients don't have to pay my fees out of their pockets.
I also review employment contracts (non-competes, severance agreements, etc.) for a flat fee to give my clients predictability, and try to offer advice beyond just a technical legal analysis based on over a decade of experience watching how things tend to play out in various employment situations.
I also decided to engage in family law work because I believe that there is a better way to handle these difficult transitions than I've seen.
I'm a member of the New York, Colorado and Georgia Bars, and actively handle cases in all three jurisdictions.
Practice areas
We recover unpaid/underpaid wages, compensation, commissions, overtime, bonuses, etc. We also review employment & severance contracts to empower you to make good decisions.
We focus on empowering our clients to make the best decisions they can for themselves and their families, and on strategically engaging in litigiation only to the extent necessary.

I fully endorse this lawyer. She is highly effective and knowledgeable.
V. Jonas Urba, Employment and labor Attorney on Feb 12, 2017
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. She's a strong advocate. She enjoys wage and hour litigation and has helped people in need in New York City with wage claims. Her spouse is also an accomplished lawyer. People who truly care about and are committed to their work. We both have experience in other states which I think gives us a different perspective. Yes New York City has plenty of diversity but until a lawyer has lived as well as practiced outside New York it's tough to appreciate how fortunate we all are to be living and practicing law metro New York City. I have no reservations about recommending Penn.
