Sanford Wittels & Heisler LLP (SWH) is a boutique class-action litigation law firm with offices in New York, Washington, D.C., and San Francisco. SWH specializes in civil rights and general public interest cases, representing plaintiffs with employment discrimination, labor and wage violations, predatory lending, whistleblower, consumer fraud, and other claims. Along with an expertise in class actions, SWH also represents select individuals and has developed a particular expertise in the representation of executives in employment disputes.
SWH is able to provide an unparalleled level of client service because of the quality of our team. Indeed, we believe no other firm offers a similar concentration of talent. Our attorneys have graduated from the nation's top law schools, clerked for judges throughout the United States, and amassed extensive experience litigating cases that have earned tens of millions of dollars for our clients.
At SWH, we know that injustice often harms the people who can least afford it. We handle many cases on a contingency fee basis, which means that our compensation is a percentage of the recovered amount, or nothing if a recovery isn’t won. By charging for our work on a contingency-only basis, SWH provides each client with equal access to expert legal representation, regardless of his or her financial circumstances.
