REPRESENTATIVE EXPERIENCE

Monica A. Romero

Represented a leading US-based online shopping company for consumer and small business travel in a number of class actions involving claims for unpaid wages and unreimbursed employee expenses brought on behalf of a broad range of employees in Washington State, California, and elsewhere. Disposed of one class action in federal court in Washington State through an early motion to compel individual arbitration; reached early settlements to resolve two other class actions in state courts in Florida and California. Developed a litigation strategy to quickly dispose of two additional class actions in state courts in Washington State.
Defended a government agency against contract, statutory, and equitable class action claims for wages and penalties in relation to the time thousands of government employees spent commuting between their jobs and their homes in government-owned vehicles. Developed a strategy to dispose of the case through an early motion for summary judgment. After very limited discovery and expense to our client, the court granted our motion and dismissed the plaintiffs’ claims in their entirety.
