"I became a lawyer to help make a difference in the lives of people who were wronged.  It remains my passion to this day, and I could find no better place to satisty this passion than the practice of employment law, and in particular employment litigation.  There, I relentlessly work to represent employees unlawfully treated by unscrupulous employers, especially large corporations.  It gives me the greatest pleasure to help these individuals get back on their feet, financially, mentally and emotionally.   A result that achieves a form of resurrection for my clients is what makes me proud; it is what I show my kids when they ask me what I do as a lawyer.   I have successfully represented more than 500 employees, including both low wage earners and highly paid professionals, for various claims including wrongful termination, unlawful discrimination and/or harassment on the basis of Gender, Disability, Age, National Origin, Race, Religion and sexual preference; and in claims of whistleblowing, violation of public policy and breaches of wage and hour laws.   I am happy to report that I have recovered multiple Millions of dollars on behalf of my clients throughout my carreer, in the form of jury verdicts, arbitration awards and settlements.

I'm passionate about helping people understand and exercise their rights. I enjoy my work because it lets me make a difference in people's lives, at a juncture when they often feel stressed, scared, angry, or confused. Law is a tool, which I'm happy to utilize for the primary goal of providing my clients a measure of peace and justice.. Before I attended Columbia Law School, I worked in other professions, including aerospace and marketing. As a lawyer, I've practiced in specialty areas other than employment. I've also defended companies and served as outside in-house counsel before coming to the plaintiffs' bar. My varied experience provides me insight into what "the other guy" might be thinking -- not just defense lawyers, but laypeople, expert witnesses, and other individuals whose paths cross with my client. Understanding people makes me a better negotiator and lawyer.. My caseload runs the gamut of employment law: harassment, discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination, breach of contract, and wage and hour. The cases nearest to my heart are sexual harassment and pregnancy cases; it takes so much courage to be a plaintiff in those kinds of matters. My work is 100% plaintiff-oriented.. I'm fortunate to be in the professional position where I'm able to carefully select my cases. I take cases I believe in. For cases where I don't see a good fit, I'm happy to refer potential clients to other lawyers -- there's a lid for every pot.. I'm proud of the fact that a high percentage of my caseload comes from referrals of past clients. In fact, I think that's the ideal outcome of a negative employment situation: for a wronged employee to find a great advocate who achieves a positive result, such that one would recommend the same path to others.. Legal rights don't exist in a vacuum. They live and breathe and change, as people interpret and apply the law. It's a pleasure to proactively define and underscore those rights. After all, most of us are employees or have been at one point!

Specialties: Bankruptcy litigation not handled by most bankruptcy attorneys. Representing individual and small business debtors in bankruptcy.

I primarily practice civil litigation--lawsuits between people and businesses. I represent both plaintiffs (suing) and defendants (getting sued), and believe I gain a strategic edge by knowing how both sides think and act. My style is energetic and assertive, but scrupulously ethical and professional. I also speak plainly, and provide honest assesments of cases. I generally make myself available to my clients, often giving clients my cell phone number. I believe in the importance of a good attorney/client relationship, and I look forward to meeting you and seeing if we are a good fit.

I like to read, ride off-road motorcycles and be outdoors as much as possible.
