Wage and hour violations can quietly drain your business, and most owners never see it coming until a class action lands on their desk.

In this episode, Don Foty, Founder and Managing Partner of Foty Law Group, shares how his firm has recovered real money for workers denied fair wages, and why cash flow in a contingency practice looks nothing like a typical hourly firm. You'll see what it takes to fund a case for months without pay, and why court approval alone can stretch settlement timelines out for a year.

You'll learn why outdated job descriptions and misclassified employees are two of the biggest risks sitting inside your payroll right now. You also hear how AI is already reshaping who qualifies for overtime exemptions, and why your HR practices need to keep up before they cost you.

If you want a firm that manages risk, protects cash flow, and stays ahead of wage and hour exposure, this conversation will change how you look at your own payroll practices.

A PI firm cannot manage growth well if it cannot see the value and timing of its case inventory.

In this episode, John C. Scott talks with Alex Weatherby of Weatherby Law Firm about his path from first-generation lawyer to personal injury attorney, the lessons he learned from defending lawyers and large companies, and how those lessons now shape the way he serves injured clients.

You will hear how Alex thinks about systems, Filevine, work-in-progress reporting, cash flow forecasting, AI, defense-side fee pressure, and competing against large PI firms through local service, communication, and relationships.
