A: The best option is to find a local employment law attorney to handle the case. Most of us take these on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing unless the attorney recovers something for you. Most also structure it so you get all of your back wages, with the employer paying the attorney fees, plus potentially splitting the penalties.
