If you were an employee (and not an independent contractor) and your former employer owes you 3 weeks of back pay, then you can pursue a claim against your former employer for a violation of the PA Wage Payment & Collection Law. If you are successful, an award of attorneys fees in your favor is mandatory and the court also has the discretion to award penalties, as well.
I would be happy to speak with you in more detail about this matter, if you would like. Please feel free to contact me directly at your convenience.
