D. Maimon Kirschenbaum

D. Maimon Kirschenbaum is a renowned advocate for employees, focusing on class action and individual wage and hour cases, discrimination claims, and severance negotiations. As a partner at Joseph & Kirschenbaum LLP, he has effectively challenged employers from Fortune 500 companies to small local businesses.

Early in his career, Maimon gained media attention as a "wunderkind of the plaintiff's bar" and the "patron saint of stiffed waiters." His reputation is particularly strong in the restaurant and hospitality sectors, where he is recognized for his dedication to workers affected by wage and tip theft and other employment violations.

Maimon is a nationally acknowledged class action litigator who has represented tens of thousands of wage theft victims. He has achieved some of the largest recoveries in wage and hour lawsuits in New York's history.

In September 2014, Maimon was named a Rising Star by Super Lawyers®, an honor that recognizes top legal talent under 40 or those practicing for less than a decade. This distinction is awarded to fewer than 2.5 percent of attorneys.
