PLEASE VISIT MY WEBSITE: .  Please also note that I wrote my memoir: NOT ONE OF THE BOYS: LIVING LIFE AS A FEMINIST, that was published by Knopf in 2000.  I also produced the movie "NAVY SEALS" for Orion Pictures in 1990.  I have most recently been writing and blogging about same-sex marriage which you can read on .  The reason that I now represent employers, as well as employees, in discrimination matters is that I've been burned too often by "professional" plaintiffs who virtually make up allegations of discrimination by employers.  I try to weed those out and recently have also been using a private investigative agency for all matters that call for it. My experience is vast and I love working with smart clients!
