Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Massachusetts

How long does it take to obtain a right to sue?

Pertaining to a class action lawsuit over independent contractor misclassification, what is the typical length of time one can expect to wait prior to receiving a right to sue?

Is there any way to expedite the litigation process or get around the letter?

Re: How long does it take to obtain a right to sue?

It shouldn't take too long once you have filed an official complaint with the Attorney General's office. If you are requesting a private right of action under the Massachusetts Wage Law, you must request such a right of action in writing with the Attorney General.

Please feel free to contact my office if I can be of any further assistance in your various claims.
