Experienced Maine Wage & Hour Lawyer Protects Employer Rights

Kline Law Offices LLC

We Provide Legal Guidance and Effective Defense Representation

In recent years, the U.S. Department of Labor and state governments have stepped-up enforcing employee-friendly provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The result – increased compliance costs and substantial employment-related liability for employers. Kline Law Offices LLC helps companies develop sound compliance protocols to avoid litigation. We also defend wage and hour violations with effective, proven strategies that limit the employer’s exposure and reduce litigation costs.
