Thank you for taking a look at my profile.  You've probably come across me by searching for employment or wrongful termination attorneys in Florida.  I only practice employment law.   I represent individuals and businesses that need help with one or more of the many employment laws in existence.  I regularly handle all forms of discrimination claims, harassment, retaliation, whistleblower, medical leave, and wage and hour issues.  I treat my clients the way I would want to be treated in my time of need.  I listen, and explain their options so that they really understand their choices.  This goes a long way in your time of need.. I'll finish by stating that I was in commercial sales for several years before I became an attorney.  I worked for two Fortune 500 Companies and learned a tremendous amount about business during that time.  I was lucky to spend much of that time in New York City, one of the business capitals of the world.  My experiences give me a unique perspective in my law practice.  I understand the bottom line - you want someone that you can trust, that will deliver results, and that will be cost-effective.  Aside from my business experience, I also learned the value of hard work from my family.  I am a first-generation American, raised by Italian immigrants from Southern Italy, and speak Italian as my second language.  I hope this summary has been helpful, and wish you the best with the issue that brought you here.
