This is a familiar story in many workplaces today, but many workers do not know who to turn to for help. Ophir J. Bitton, Esq., the brilliant legal mind behind Bitton & Associates, is a champion for the underrepresented and wronged.“Often, employees do not know many of the ways they have been exploited,” Bitton explains. “An employee might come to us because they were fired wrongfully, not realizing that they also were never paid properly, or were shorted benefits, or were retaliated for being injured and needing accommodations.” Bitton & Associates doesn’t back down from the chal...
