Since 1989, Mr. Troy has continually and zealously led Troy Law as the premier employment litigation firm in the nation. We conduct a diverse practice and specialize in the recovery of minimum wage and overtime pay; recovery for tip theft, and advocacy on behalf of victims of workplace discrimination and sexual harassment. Troy Law only represents employees, mostly low-income immigrant workers, in wage-and-hour and employment discrimination disputes.

Mr. Troy has served as class and collective action counsel in numerous cases in federal district and the New York State court. He has written extensively on Fair Labor Standards Act and New York Labor Law minimum wage, overtime compensation, and record-keeping requirements: his op-ed on Taiwanese envoy Hsien-Hsien “Jacqueline” Liu’s fraudulent foreign labor contracting of two Filipino maids has been published in China Times, the fourth largest Taiwanese newspaper in circulation, and his interviews on wage-and-hour law and requirements has been featured in Sing Tao Daily, Hong Kong’s second largest newspaper, and World Journal, the largest Chinese-language newspaper in the United States. In recognition of his expertise in the area, Mr. Troy was invited as the Public Law Institute (PLI) faculty for its annual Employment Law seminar in 2017. He is also an invited panelist on the panel “Recent Trends and Strategic Considerations for Conditional Collective Actions under the Fair Labor Standards Act” at the National Employment Lawyers’ Association-New York 2022 Spring Conference on Representing Employees. Mr. Troy is a top-rated attorney selected to Super Lawyers 2023 by Thomson Reuters.

Mr. Troy is similarly adept in the field of commercial litigation, including bankruptcy litigation, and we regularly represent both FLSA judgment creditors and debtors to turn financial challenges into opportunities to move forward. He also has a proven track record in representing victims of personal injury and medical malpractice to obtain recovery.

Beyond employment litigation, Mr. Troy stewards consumer fraud class actions against corporations for their false, misleading or deceptive claims about their products. He is also a seasoned personal injury lawsuits and workmen compensation attorney. Mr. Troy has represented whistleblowers in qui tam lawsuits.

As a longstanding community-based law firm, Mr. Troy has also served the Flushing, and broader New York community with his extensive experience in undertaking general practice, including real estate transactions, family and employment-based immigration, contested and uncontested matrimonial matters.
