Turocy & Watson is facing a suit that claims the Ohio law firm misclassified employees to avoid paying overtime. Anthony Lazzaro of the Lazzaro Law Firm is representing an estimated 40 legal secretaries in a putative class action filed in the Northern District of Ohio against Cleveland-based Turocy & Watson. Says Lazzaro: "I think that there are plenty of law firms out there that are paying secretaries and paralegals a salary without overtime and not even realizing it."

When legal secretary Karla Osolin used to work at Jones Day, she was paid a salary and overtime.
That’s what caused red flags to go up when she took a job in September 2008 with Ohio intellectual property boutique Turocy & Watson. Now the firm faces a suit alleging wage-and-hour violations and stands accused of misclassifying Osolin and many others to avoid paying overtime.
