After a full day settlement negotiation conducted by federal judge Patricia Gaughan, the parties reached a settlement in Sardisco v. Direct Import Home Décor, et al. Case No. 1:13-CV-02701 in U.S. District Court for Northern District of Ohio. The remaining plaintiffs received full settlement for their damages. Attorney Lei Jiang and her team achieved a great victory for the plaintiffs.
This case was filed on December 9, 2013. Lei Jiang Law Firm successfully obtained class certification on June 18, 2014. After several months of discovery, we discovered additional violations. The battle was intense, but in the end justice prevailed. All remaining Plaintiffs received 100% compensation. This was a remarkable result.
Sardisco is our second federal FLSA class action in U.S. District Court for Northern District of Ohio. The first FLSA class action, Chen v. Yellow Tail, Inc. et al. Case No. 5:12-CV-1588 was filed in July 2012. We also successfully obtained class certification and proceeded into discovery. The case was later settled in June 2014. Honorable Judge John Adams presided this case.
FLSA class action is a special type of class action. It has its own rules and details. We chartered into this unfamiliar water in 2012 and quickly developed the knowledge and the skills necessary to effectuate justice, fairness, and equality. The breadth and the depth of our legal practice is notable. Attorneys at Lei Jiang Law Firm are young, quick, and most importantly passionate about the truth.
