Lawdragon Selects Seven Sommers Schwartz Litigators to 2025 List of the Leading Civil Rights & Plaintiff Employment Lawyers
We are proud to announce that Lawdragon has named seven Sommers Schwartz attorneys to its 2025 guide of the leading attorneys representing plaintiffs in civil rights and employment matters.
- Lisa Esser-Weidenfeller – Civil Rights and Sexual Abuse Litigation
- Tad Roumayah – Employee Rights Litigation
- Kevin Stoops – Wage & Hour
- Daniel Swanson – Employee Rights Litigation
- Jason Thompson – Class Action and Wage & Hour Litigation
- Matthew Turner – Class Action and Wage & Hour Litigation
- Jesse Young – Employee Rights Litigation, including Wage & Hour Litigation
This is the first year Lisa was added to the list, joining the six other lawyers Lawdragon has selected multiple times.
Lawdragon evaluates candidates through nominations and independent journalistic research vetted by peers and adversaries. Describing the 2025 honorees, Lawdragon wrote:
“These lawyers are champions who stand tall and deliver justice to individuals who have lost their means to make a living, their freedom, their dignity. To have a job, a chance. To have one’s freedom and be able to speak one’s mind. To be able to proceed in life free of sexual abuse, harassment, discrimination and other boulders unfairly forced onto the paths of individuals trying to live their lives – that is the calling of these heroes.
Because while ‘life happens’ these are the lawyers who call out and hold to account those whose callous, greedy or vicious actions deprive others of their right to work, to exist, to peaceably abide. To go to court and win the respect that’s been stolen.”
We congratulate our colleagues on this momentous recognition of their talents and zealous advocacy for our clients.
