The suit, filed in 2004, alleged that employees were not compensated for off-the-clock work and overtime.  In addition, employees claimed that they were denied breaks and that time records were falsified.  U.S. District Court Judge Phillip Pro commended the attorneys diligence in bringing this suit, long before such wage claims were popular in litigation.  In his ruling, he awarded more than 135 plaintiffs attorneys one third of the payout amount as negotiated in the settlement with Wal-Mart.
