About Kevin Stoops

It's not often that you find a profession where the outcome of your work can - and often does - have a profound impact on the life of your client and his or her family. I am not afraid to go to the wall for my clients and to turn over every stone to fight for their rights. I grew up working construction each and every summer for my father. I learned valuable lessons from many weeks of working 80 to 100 hours, including not being afraid of working hard to reach your goals.

Kevin Stoops is nationally recognized as one of the preeminent plaintiff class action wage and hour attorneys. He has successfully obtained millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts for his clients and along the way built a solid track record of winning outcomes in complex, high-dollar cases and class action lawsuits. He handles cases under the Fair Labor Standards Act, intellectual property and bet-the-company commercial property litigation.

He most enjoys helping people who do not have the ability or means to fight for their rights against their employers and against big businesses. When Kevin was a kid growing up, he worked in construction every summer for his dad and learned valuable lessons working 80 to 100 hours a week. One of those lessons was to not be afraid of working hard to reach your goals.
