Painesville, Ohio (PRWEB) January 06, 2016 -- Senior Partner and Head of Dworken & Bernstein's Class Action Department, Patrick J. Perotti is proud to announce that Nicole Fiorelli has been named a Partner is the NE Ohio law firm.

Dworken & Bernstein is nationally recognized as a leader in class action lawsuits as well as in individual and collective actions for violations of state and federal wage and hour laws.
Mrs. Fiorelli is also instrumental with her work utilizing the cy pres doctrine in her class action settlements. Cy pres means that money which a defendant commits for the settlement of a class action is not returned to the defendant if class members cannot be found, and instead is directed to charities and non-profits.
In a settlement, both sides reach an amount of compensation which they agree is fair. "A settlement is an agreement which has terms that are presented to the court,” explained Mrs. Fiorelli. She typically will not settle a case without a cy pres provision. “Not all cases have leftover funds, but when they do, Dworken & Bernstein wants them distributed ‘as nearly as possible' to the intended benefit."
