No matter the social setting, be it work or play, 90% of the people I've met introduce themselves and then identify what they do.  They don't identify the number of kids they have, or whether they are married or single.  They identify their jobs, their careers, or their line of work.. For better or for worse, our jobs and our careers define our lives.  It's where we spend most of our waking hours.. When something negative happens at work, it has a profound affect.  Many people live paycheck to paycheck, and any disruption at work can affect our ability to support our families.  It can also have a shocking affects on our view of ourselves. Our jobs are deeply personal.. This is why I practice employment law.

I am an employment law attorney working in Santa Barbara, California. My job is to listen to individuals who have recently been terminated from their employment or who are experiencing a hostile and contentious work environment. I see these individuals during their worst moments, when they feel like they are utterly alone and lost. I enjoy being able to ease that individual's worry by taking on their case and zealously representing their interests. I look forward to the day that the matter is resolved so that my clients can move forward with their lives and put all that negative energy behind them.
