Class Action 40%

Class actions and collective actions are procedures that allow many people to join together to bring legal claims in one case. These procedures are commonly used to combat illegal activities that have caused similar problems for a large number of people. For example, a class action or collective action lawsuit may start with an employer failing to pay overtime to all employees on a particular shift.

40%
Employment and Labor 20%

The basic rule of employment law in the United States is that employment is considered to be “at-will” unless otherwise agreed upon by contract. Before signing employment contracts, you should first consult with an employment lawyer if at all possible. Employment at-will generally means that both the employer and the employee have the right to terminate the employment agreement at any time, for any reason, with or without notice.

20%
Discrimination 10%

Generally, it is illegal for an employer to discriminate against you, with respect to terms of employment, because you belong to a “protected class,” or because of certain choices you have made which are protected by law. Under the federal law, employers cannot discriminate against you because of your race/color, national origin, gender, religion, age, or disability. Gender discrimination includes pregnancy discrimination.

10%
Sexual Harassment 5%

Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination. It may include conduct such as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or verbal or physical harassment that is sexual in nature or because of your gender. Both men and women are protected from sexual harassment, and the conduct does not have to be motivated by sexual desires in order to qualify. Employees may even suffer sexual harassment from members of their own sex.

Not responsive

I initiated a first contact with this lawyer through AVVO mail. That was mid September 2023. To date, no answer at all. If you have no interest, at least take 5 minutes to send a standard “i cant help you”. My time is valuable too.

Remarkable! Definitely not the stereotypical attorney

Rachhana was my initial and only contact during a very long legal process. She flew to another state where I was living just for a few hours in order to meet me and gather facts. She could have managed the initial interview over the phone but went the extra mile (well hundreds of miles) to make it mo...re personal. She had to make several long trips/flights in order to gather information and complete this case. This is an attorney who is passionate about the causes/cases she fights for. Although, she was very busy she would return my calls (within reason-a day or two but I never once wondered if I or the case had been forgotten or if she would call me back), she answered all my questions and explained every development step by step. Rachhana was professional and honest. Her knowledge about multiple state and federal laws, the legal system and case process was amazing. While I am sure she had other cases to work on it never seemed as though she stopped working on my case. I truly cannot say enough about her as an attorney (exceeds all intelligence standards) or as a person (just an overall wonderful person). I have had other legal questions and while I wouldn't expect her to take time out of her busy schedule to answer just any random question, she did. I would recommend Rachhana Srey as the number one attorney to call in her area of expertise.

Excellent negotiator with a thorough understanding of the law

Based on my personal experience with Rachhana Srey at Nichols Kaster, I would unequivocally & without reservation recommend enlisting her and her firm in legal representation for all matters regarding employee rights as afforded under FLSA. Prior to contacting any law firm, I had done my own extensi...ve research in FLSA to fully understand the extent in which my former employer had violated the law with regard to exempt & nonexempt classification. Once I was certain I had done my homework, had a thorough understanding of the law, & gathered up the requisite documentation to support a claim, I began to search for representation. I made numerous phone calls & had several meetings with law firms claiming to have extensive knowledge & experience in the area of employee rights, only to discover these so-called experts really didn’t understand nor interpret the law the way it was written. That is, however, until I spoke with Rachhana. Rachhana interviewed me over the phone & right away I felt she had a knowledge & understanding of FLSA that expanded on the research I had done & my own understanding of the law & my rights under the law. Immediately after our conversation, Rachhana set up a face to face meeting to discuss in length the potential case and its various outcomes. During the entire process of representing me & my fellow co-workers, she & her staff worked diligently to reach an out-of-court settlement with my former employer that was both fair & equitable to all parties. She is an excellent negotiator with a thorough understanding of the law that I would not only recommend, but also use again in the future if warranted.
