Law360 Covers Berke-Weiss Law's Successful Defeat of Motion to Dismiss in Unpaid Wages Case

On April 17, 2023, U.S. District Judge Lewis J. Liman denied a motion by Defendant nonprofit organization FCBC Community Development Corporation who sought dismissal of Plaintiff Kyndra Frazier’s wage claims. Judge Liman held that Plaintiff Kyndra Frazier, represented by Senior Associate Alex Berke, can proceed with the wage action against her former employer because she sufficiently claimed that although she was a Pastor, she was also employed in a secular capacity.
