Danielle Jurema Lederman is an attorney at Fogelman & Fogelman, where she practices in all areas of civil litigation, with an emphasis on plaintiff-side employment law.  Her principal areas of practice include representing clients in sexual harassment, discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination, and wage and hour matters.  She also represents clients in contract negotiations, including agreements relating to terms of employment, severance, and non-competes.. Her role is to help victimized employees and to stop wrongful workplace conduct.  In some situations, demand letters may be appropriate; in other cases, litigation may be warranted.  Sometimes clients have been terminated before they come to our firm, which may be the result of discrimination or retaliatory claims (such as complaining about sexual harassment).   In these cases, not only have clients been victimized, they also must face the prospect of finding a new job.  Other clients are not paid the wages they are owed.  She works to help empower clients so that they can make the decisions that are right for them with respect to how to proceed with their matter.  She works resolutely in seeking to achieve client objectives.
