Ronald J. Eisenberg

I have represented hundred of parties, both plaintiffs and defendants, in lawsuits in state and federal courts. My favorite cases are class actions under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) targeting senders of annoying and illegal junk faxes, robocalls, and text messages. I have litigated more than 175 class action lawsuits and been appointed as Class Counsel multiple times in federal and state courts. Class actions are great way to level the playing field between consumers and large corporations.

Outside of my law practice, I am an avid marathon runner, having completed more than 50 marathons, including running 100 miles in less than 24 hours, and I also enjoy fishing and global travel.

Q. Can I demand my last check at time of termination?

January 27, 2023

A: You may demand it. Missouri Revised Statutes Section 290.110 provides the procedure for formally demanding it and the potential liability of the employer who failse to comply.

Q. signed a contract for a new job on 1/10/2023 as NP; I am yet to complete the HR onboarding documentation. Can I back out

January 24, 2023

A: You should hire an attorney to review the contract and provide advice rather than hope that someone will accurately asses a snippet of the document.

Q. Is it legal for an employer to make an employee take a vacation day for a Friday off of a 4 day work week?

January 23, 2023

A: Employers aren’t required to provide any vacation days. Therefore, this isn’t a matter of legally but rather whether the employer is breaching its contract with the employee.
