About Fitapelli & Schaffer, LLP
Fitapelli & Schaffer, LLP is a New York City law firm focused on employment matters. The firm was founded in 2008 by two former defense attorneys, Joseph A. Fitapelli and Brian S. Schaffer. Its public materials say it represents employees rather than employers, handling large class and collective wage and hour actions over unpaid minimum wage, overtime, tips and commissions. It also takes individual matters involving wrongful termination, retaliation, sexual harassment and discrimination.
The firm states that it has recovered more than $200 million for workers since 2008 through individual suits and class or collective actions. Its website says its lawyers have represented employees against several large corporations and are admitted to New York state courts and several federal courts. The firm lists its office at 28 Liberty Street in the Financial District of Manhattan and says it serves employees across New York State and nationwide.
