ABOUT THE FIRM

Rothner, Segall & Greenstone represents labor unions, labor-management trust funds, and employees with wage & hour and civil rights claims. Time permitting, we take on free speech, taxpayer, and open government cases.

Guiding our work is the philosophy that our technical skills are useful not as an end in themselves but as a means to promote justice, equity, and peace.

We believe that our clients, from rank-and-file low wage workers, to highly-paid professionals, to union leaders and staff, deserve our best efforts, our full creativity, and complete information about the matters we undertake on their behalf.

We respect the right of our clients to make their own judgments, and we view our role as informing those judgments by providing an array of options and discussing the advantages, disadvantages, and consequences of each. Our goals are both to help our clients accomplish a useful outcome and to leave them with an enhanced ability to make strategic and tactical judgments.

Our experienced and dedicated support staff are instrumental to the success our clients expect.
