General Litigation

Through legal compliance counseling, Siff & Lake strives to assist its clients in avoiding litigation.  In those instances where litigation cannot be avoided, the firm provides clients the services of experienced litigators with a history of successful results.  The firm’s attorneys have extensive experience in handling all aspects of litigation, both as public officials and in private practice.  With substantive expertise in the areas of employment, labor and immigration law, the firm has defended both small and large entities in individual and class action lawsuits brought by government agencies and private parties.

Siff & Lake represents clients in the federal courts throughout the United States.  Typical claims our attorneys have successfully litigated include wage and hour matters under the Fair Labor Standards Act, discrimination claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, discrimination claims under the Immigration Reform and Control Act, charges under the federal Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act, and civil Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organization (RICO) claims based on violations of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

The firm’s background in labor, employment, immigration, and election law allows it to handle related litigation matters efficiently through a prudent use of resources and personnel.  Our team can quickly evaluate a client’s legal position and work towards prompt resolution of claims if appropriate, or develop a litigation strategy that manages the costs and disruption associated with litigation without sacrificing an aggressive representation.
