Attorney Richard E. Hayber founded his own law firm because of his strong beliefs in protecting the legal rights of hard-working employees. Hayber Law Firm assists employees with a variety of issues, from claims for unemployment benefits to wrongful termination, discrimination, and unpaid wages. Hayber Law firm has experience handling an array of complicated employment issues in Connecticut. We have successfully represented employees from all walks of life who were victims of illegal practices by employers.

Attorney Hayber’s wage and hour practice has grown significantly over the years and the majority of the reported opinions in Connecticut state and federal courts in this area come from cases handled by the Hayber Law Firm.

His work has forced many companies to change their pay practices and pay workers fair wages for their work.
