Employee misclassification occurs when employers improperly label workers as independent contractors instead of employees to avoid paying wages, overtime, benefits, and taxes. When employers violate state or federal labor laws, Thiele Law steps in to hold them accountable. Attorney Richard Thiele has successfully represented hundreds of cases and recovered millions of dollars for our clients by aggressively enforcing workers’ rights.
