Gary Martoccio brings his powerful perspective as a champion for employee rights to this illuminating conversation on employment law and firm ownership. With over $50 million recovered for workers and success in more than 200 federal lawsuits as lead counsel, Gary shares the insights gained through his transition from a large firm to launching his practice seven months ago.

The conversation delves into the most common employment law issues affecting workplaces today. Medical accommodations and leave top the list, followed by pregnancy discrimination, traditional discrimination based on protected characteristics, and sexual harassment. Gary offers a candid reality check that resonates with both employees and employers: Many workplace situations that feel unfair or wrong aren't necessarily illegal. This critical distinction shapes how he approaches cases and advises clients.

What makes this episode particularly valuable for listeners is Gary's dual expertise in both legal practice and business management. His "trial by fire" approach to leadership prepared him for firm ownership, where he now balances legal excellence with strategic business decisions. His golden advice for aspiring firm owners cuts straight to the heart of success: "Don't be afraid to invest in people... The people are what make the business go around. I would overpay versus underpay on certain things."

The conversation also explores how legal practice has transformed in the post-COVID era, with virtual court appearances and mediations becoming the norm across the nine states where Gary is licensed. This shift has created both opportunities and challenges for attorneys expanding their geographic reach while managing costs for clients.
