Dedicated, Tough, & Passionate Lawyers
Everyone deserves to be treated fairly and with respect. Being an individual or a small entity in a world of big business doesn’t change that. The lawyers at Halunen & Associates fight each day to protect the rights of the little guy, the underdog, the workers and consumers who are entitled to fair treatment under the law. You have rights. And we’re here to help make sure justice is done.
We understand it can be intimidating to stand alone against an employer or corporation. Our job is to help you stand up for your rights. We provide an open, professional environment where our clients feel comfortable, yet confident that our tough-minded lawyers will aggressively tackle their case. If you have been wronged and want to explore what your rights are, please contact us for a courtesy consultation.
Lawyers for Employees
With years of trial and appellate law experience in both state and federal courts, our attorneys have successfully litigated hundreds of employment discrimination and wrongful termination cases involving sexual harassment, retaliation for whistleblowing, and discrimination based on protected characteristics including age, disability, gender and race. We represent employees who have been denied overtime or misclassified as independent contractors. We litigate Qui Tam or False Claims Act cases on behalf of whistleblowers who challenge companies that have defrauded the government at the federal and state levels.
Lawyers for Consumers
Our attorneys also use their years of experience to fight for the rights of consumers against some of our country’s largest corporations. Big business has a responsibility to be honest with consumers and treat them fairly. We work to make sure that consumers get the products and services they pay for and we challenge companies that engage in deceptive and unfair marketing. Our consumer cases include expired gift certificates (e.g. Groupon, Living Social), internet throttling, and defective products, including shingles and siding. We are investigating similar cases as well as other types of consumer cases including cramming, privacy violations, unfair bank overdraft charges, and deceptive advertising related to food, beverages, nutritional supplements, diet aids, other health products and cosmetics.
Class Action Lawyers
Halunen & Associates lawyers are also experienced in class action litigation, in which representative plaintiffs litigate cases on behalf of themselves and a class of people who are similar to them. Class actions allow us to use our collective strength to make companies accountable on behalf of employees and consumers. Please contact us if you believe that you and others have been wronged either in the workplace or as a consumer.
