Featured Case

IBM's So-Called "Uncapped Commissions"

For years, IBM has promised its software sales representatives that they can make as much money as they want to at IBM – even a million dollars in a year! – because IBM’s sales commissions are “uncapped.”

In reality, after they’ve closed a blockbuster deal for IBM, sales reps find out that their commissions really aren’t uncapped. IBM routinely caps and retains hundreds of thousands of dollars in earned commissions from its sales representatives. We are proud to represent the workers of IBM.

We know motorcycles, because we're riders ourselves.

Whitfield Bryson LLP

Whitfield Bryson LLP is a civil litigation firm representing plaintiffs who, in a nutshell, have been injured or harmed due to the negligence of a person or company. Within that category, the types of cases we handle are wide ranging and include personal injury matters such as vehicle accidents and medical malpractice, class action suits for large numbers of people harmed by defective products and environmental disasters, and families whose homes were built using defective construction products.

Here are a few things we are looking into now:

Class Actions

Class action suits are often national and highly complex. We go toe to toe with corporate giants to protect consumers' rights.

Defective Products

As consumers, we assume the products we purchase are safe and as advertised. Unfortunately, many times that isn't the case.

Employment

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is in place to protect workers from employers failing to pay for overtime work and other wage and hour violations.

Bad Faith Insurance

Insurance is supposed to provide a safety net in times of needs. When an insurance company fails to fulfill their promises, you may have legal recourses.

Personal Injury

Accidents are a common, everyday occurrence most of the time. But some accidents can have devastating consequences requiring help from an experienced lawyer.

Construction Accidents

While the construction industry is one of the most dangerous industries to work in, all workers are entitled to a reasonably safe workplace.

$600M - $1B Defective Chinese Drywall Settlement

$42M Staples Wage & Hour Settlement

$165M Defective Heart-Valves Settlement

$30M Defective Concrete Settlement

$1M Drunk Driver

$1.2M Coal Mine Accident

$3M Neighborhood Bulkhead Judgment

$4.8M Coal Mine Explosion

$1.7M Breach of Contract

$3.5M Shoddy Construction Jury Verdict

$750K Hit and Run Jury Verdict

$681K Breach of Fiduciary Duty

Together, they make Whitfield Bryson LLP a well rounded, reliable and respected civil litigation firm.
