About Our Columbus Office
Coffman Employment Lawyers represents Columbus and Central Ohio employees in unpaid wage, overtime, discrimination, retaliation and wrongful termination claims from its office at 5005 Horizons Drive, Suite 205, Columbus, OH 43220. Cases are taken on a contingency fee. Call (614) 782-8879.
Columbus is where the firm started and where most of its wage cases are built. Distribution centers, manufacturers and health systems across Franklin County and the surrounding counties employ thousands of hourly workers whose pay depends on how time is recorded: shift relief before the clock starts, time spent putting on protective gear, rounded time punches and automatic meal deductions. A few unpaid minutes a day across hundreds of workers adds up, and the firm brings those claims as collective and class actions under the Fair Labor Standards Act and Ohio wage law.
Who the Columbus Office Represents
Recent filings by the firm on behalf of Central Ohio workers include these unpaid wage and overtime cases:
Worthington Steel unpaid overtime case
ODW Logistics unpaid wages lawsuit
Advanced Drainage Systems overtime lawsuit
The Columbus office also handles individual claims: discrimination based on age, race, sex, pregnancy, disability or religion; retaliation for reporting harassment or unpaid wages; and terminations that break Ohio or federal law.
Where Columbus Employment Cases Are Filed
Federal employment claims from Central Ohio are filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, in Columbus. State law claims go to the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas. The Ohio Civil Rights Commission, where many Ohio discrimination charges start, is headquartered in Columbus. In Ohio an EEOC charge generally must be filed within 300 days, and the FLSA allows two years to recover unpaid wages, three if the violation was willful.

Our Columbus Employment Law Services
Wage and Hour Class Actions
Workers across Columbus and Central Ohio lose millions of dollars annually to wage theft, but most don't recognize the systematic violations that could support a class-action recovery. We specialize in identifying these patterns across large employers and building comprehensive cases that recover significantly more than individual claims. Our class action approach means stronger legal leverage and maximum compensation for affected workers.
- Ohio employee misclassification cases
- Tipped worker violations and tip pool theft
- Overtime pay disputes under federal and Ohio law
- FLSA collective actions for multiple employees
- Unpaid wages and final paycheck violations
- Ohio minimum wage and prevailing wage claims
- Off-the-clock work and time clock manipulation
Employment Discrimination and Retaliation
Central Ohio employers cannot discriminate against workers based on protected characteristics or retaliate against those who assert their rights. We aggressively pursue discrimination and retaliation cases. When individual discrimination may mask broader company policies, we build cases that address systematic violations and deter future misconduct.
