When We Take Your Case, We Take Your Cause. We Never Stop Fighting For Working People.

The Firm

Thomas Gearon has devoted his entire professional life to protecting the rights of blue collar workers and labor unions. Thomas was part of a collaborative effort in submitting language to the Secretary of Labor to change the law, and protect the rights of union members which the US Secretary of Labor that was accepted in the Preamble of the Fair Labor Standards Act resulting in the First Responders settling a lawsuit for overtime violations in the amount of $23,000,000.00 (twenty-three million dollars). The lawsuit against the City opened up the doors to other labor unions to facilitate lawsuits resulting in the City paying out over $200 million to city workers for working people from FLSA violations. Thomas has managed to obtain millions on behalf of construction workers who were injured as a result of the building owner's failure to provide the proper protection for the workers. We don't shy away from the big fight, in fact we welcome it. We don't take a case with the mindset of settling early, we take the case with the mindset of preparing it for trial. Our identity is defined in three simple words, Strategy Preparation and Execution. We believe that reputation, integrity, and results matter.

    Mr Gearon was impressed with his instincts for the legal system. He was a strong advocate for me, his client and wasn't afraid to take on the establishment. He knows his way around the litigation process. He could tell when the other side was stalling to try and get me to go away and he always knew when to push back.
