Our office and others that we work with provide advice and/or represent clients in State and Federal courts. Please be advised, that according to Nolo, "unlike most states, Florida does not have a state agency that receives employee complaints and enforces state wage and hour laws. If you want to enforce your wage and hour rights, you may either file a complaint with the federal Department of Labor or file a lawsuit" (for anyone looking for Florida Department of Labor or Florida Labor Board). You should not rely specifically on this information, and research any other options you may have.
Depending on the case, our office may refer the case to another law office or engage in a co-counseling agreement with another law office.
