Nevada’s self-employed workers hoping for a judicial remedy to their pending unemployment claims will have to wait another week or so for an answer.

The plaintiffs in a class-action lawsuit against the Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation were “almost, but not quite” able to convince Judge Barry Breslow in a Tuesday court hearing that Nevada’s employment office should be forced to immediately pay independent contractors, self-employed and gig workers with pending claims under the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program.

There were 247,030 total new PUA claims filed last week, of which 139,107 haven’t been paid, according to DETR data.

What Our Clients Say

I am so pleased with this law firm and their expertise and assistance in my class action case. We worked together for 3 1/2 years, they were always responsive, helpful and reassuring if I had any questions or concerns. They have also received multiple calls from other members of the class action and have been responsive to those calls coming in too. I never for one moment had any complaints whatsoever and would highly recommend them to anyone.

So in regards to the people of Nevada vs DETR, Mark is a non-stop, guns blazing, no BS kind of attorney. This guy just doesn't back down. I'd hate to be on the wrong end of a lawsuit facing this firm. To the people who are concerned that they aren't being heard, you must realize the absolute burden that every individual case adds to the class action. I haven't had my calls or emails returned, even offered to pay for a face to face consultation, and still no response, and that's okay... I also understand that I am just one of thousands of people with the same issue. Thank you mark for representing the people of this state, and not giving into DETR's BS. Keep up the amazing work!

Great firm to deal with. Listened to all aspects of our case and was able to come out with a positive ruling. Highly recommend them to anyone out there needing help with a class action suit.
