Prominent Prevailing Wage Lawyers
If you are a worker who is employed by a contractor and you are working on a government project such as a public school, courthouse, post office, army base, public sewer system, wastewater treatment plant or highway, you must be paid a prevailing wage rate set by law. Virginia & Ambinder, LLP, is become the preeminent law firm in handling prevailing wage lawsuits under state law and The Davis-Bacon Act. We have two decades of experience, and we fight to obtain fair compensation for our clients.
Our attorneys have handled more than 150 prevailing wage suits, many of which are class actions involving as many as 3000 workers. Our firm has one of the largest prevailing wage practices in the nation.
We handle all types of prevailing wage cases involving construction workers and other tradespeople such as:
