He has extensive counseling and trial experience in cases ranging from Employee Retirement and Income Security Act matters, to cases involving minimum wage and overtime violations involving international contractors, and to safety and health matters involving fatalities and grievous injuries at worksites across the Southeast. Jeremy also routinely advised various DOL agencies during their investigations of worksites, and is deeply familiar with the Department’s tendencies and procedures during inspections into wage and hour, H-visa compliance, and workplace safety allegations.
