Wage and hour violations. Misclassified employees. Toxic workplace cultures. These issues are at the heart of many employment law cases—but proving them often hinges on one critical factor: credible, informed witnesses.

At Stratejic Relationships, we help trial lawyers build stronger cases by uncovering and connecting them with ex-employees and insider witnesses who know the truth. Our investigative approach is refined by over 18 years of experience and a deep understanding of employment litigation strategy. We don’t just find people—we find the right people to back your case.

The Power of the Right Witness

When litigating employment disputes—whether class actions or individual claims—the court demands more than general allegations. You need witnesses who:

• Were directly impacted by company policies
• Observed patterns of wage theft, overtime denial, or misclassification
• Are credible, available, and willing to testify
• Can verify systemic misconduct or corroborate client claims

Stratejic Relationships has a national reach and proven methodology for uncovering former employees who match these exact needs. These individuals add weight to your claims and elevate your negotiating leverage with defendants and insurers.

Lead Plaintiff Replacement: A Strategic Necessity

Sometimes, your lead plaintiff can no longer represent the class—due to settlement, conflict, or ineligibility. This is where our expertise becomes indispensable.

We identify qualified replacements who meet all legal and factual criteria, including:

• Clear representation of the class’s interests
• Documented injury or wage loss
• Strong availability and reliability
• Favorable background for vetting and cross-examination

Our goal is to deliver options that keep your class action viable and your timeline on track.
