Top best Labor Lawyers in Chandler near me

I'm a trademark/unfair competition and personal injury/wrongful death attorney located in Chandler, Arizona. My legal experience is diverse, as I've litigated cases from trademark and trade dress infringement, copyright infringement, breach of contract involving non-competition and non-solicitation clauses, plaintiff wrongful death and personal injury, insurance defense, and Internet focused statutes like the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. I work with a number of individuals and businesses across different industries from athletics, fitness, e-commerce merchants, creatives like artists, photographers and website developers, transportation companies and others, in developing brand development and protection strategies. I also assist individuals and businesses in licensing intellectual property, whether my client is the one licensing intellectual property to another or is the one acquiring a license.

I was born in Detroit, and raised in southeastern Michigan and northwestern Ohio, before moving to the desert southwest after graduation from college. I traded winter gray skies, cold and snow for sunshine warmth and annual withering summer heat. I have lived in Arizona since 1976, and graduated law school in 1983.. I am single, with three handsome & intelligent adult sons, and an eight-year old grandson, who keeps me busy trying to keep up with him. I  enjoy an active lifestyle, including: trave to new and interesting places; white-water rafting, camping and stream fishing for trout; playing and watching sports; reading and  talking with people, as I always want to better know and understand our world around us.

I have been a lawyer since 1981.  I have been a transactions lawyer for most of my 41 year career and was a trial lawyer for the last 30 years.  I have drafted hundreds of contracts in my transaction work and I have litigated employment and business disputes.  I was a CPA in the early 80s and practiced business transaction and securities work in Beverly Hills in the 80s.  I have a facility with financial matters and disputes.  With this trial experience and business background, I am well equipped to counsel individuals and small businesses in contract and organization matters.. Three recent trials resulted in $110,000 arbitration award in 2012 on sex discrimination and harassment case, $1,076,000 jury verdict in 2012 on breach of fiduciary duty claim by member of a limited liability company against another member (reversed on appeal), and a $414,000 jury verdict in 2013 against the US Postal Service on a Title VII retaliation claim.. In January 2018, I ended my trial practice and now consult on employment issues with employees and employers and consult on small business corporation and limited liability company matters.. My practice now is limited to telephone consultations. We have a minimum one-half hour for $150, and $250 per hour for longer consultations. We commonly review employment agreements, severance agreement, noncompete agreements and other contracts.
