About Sales Rep Attorneys
We are a team of attorneys, paralegals and staff who have for 3 decades been fighting for Independent Sales Reps and Sales Employees when they are not paid contractual commissions or are wrongfully terminated costing them substantial commission compensation or bonuses.
Our team also drafts airtight, protective Representation Agreements so all the salesperson’s hard work on the front end is protected on the back end, especially in case of termination; and we help commissioned salespeople navigate difficulties in the process of receiving their commissions.
Primarily, we litigate (file lawsuits) over unpaid sales commission in both State and Federal courts across the USA, often exerting the right leverage to settle most matters early, without the need of a trial; although we try cases to conclusion in front of judges or juries when settlement is not possible.
Every lawsuit is assigned a minimum of two attorneys, ensuring timely and well-conceived strategies and legal filings.

Turn the Tables in Your Favor
It’s not just lost income—it’s a betrayal of your hard work and dedication. Every day you’re denied your commissions is another day your efforts go unrewarded. The bills don’t stop, and neither should your rightful earnings.
You’re watching your financial stability slip away, all because a principal decided to maximize their profits at your expense. It’s unfair, infuriating, and downright wrong.
