After more than 25 years of practicing labor and employment law, David Walston has developed a formula for building successful client relationships. He believes that all good engagements begin with a face-to-face meeting to perform a thorough assessment of the current policies and practices related to the client’s human resources operations. This assessment is designed to ensure compliance with applicable rules and regulations. David’s proactive approach continues as he provides day-to-day employment advice on workplace issues and suggests different courses of action available to the client - suggestions to aid charge and lawsuit avoidance. He provides these services through the client’s election of a flat-fee retainer arrangement or on an hourly-basis.. David’s approach remains proactive if the issue evolves into administrative proceedings or a lawsuit.  He believes that the defense of legal proceedings begins with a thorough initial assessment and absolute candor with the client regarding that assessment - before any response or pleading is filed. He learns the facts of the case, analyzes every issue presented and defenses available and provides a strategic case management model to the client. This includes issues related to e-discovery - an increasingly important and sometimes costly aspect of case management. David keeps in constant contact with the client regarding all significant developments and modifies the model as the defense of the matter proceeds.. This approach has served David well, whether he is planning defense of FLSA collective actions, directing the opposition to a union organizational campaign or helping to defend unfair labor practice charges and arbitrations with trade unions.

"Dada's two girls." -- That's what my two-year-old says when I pick her and the baby up at the same time.  Along with my wife, those are the only 3 things in the world more important to me other than your case.. I had somewhat of a strange upbringing -- the poorest kid in a wealthy suburb -- and here's what I learned.  Fairness is the belief that everyone should play by the same rules, but justice is different.  Justice is the active participation in making sure that happens.. I believe in justice, and I am passionate about holding accountable folks who break the rules.  We can all see, and the statistics bear this out, that our country is more and more out of balance.  A smaller and smaller elite group holds more and more of the power.  Our local courthouses, I feel, are the only places left where the rest of us can take a stand.. Everyone who walks into our office has a story to tell, if someone will just listen.  That's what we do.  We use our experience and our resources to level the playing field, give you a voice and tell your story -- so that whoever wronged you HAS to listen.  At the very least, they have to listen.
