Background. As the son of a union carpenter and a nurse, I learned to appreciate the value of hard work at a very young age. Entering the world of employment at 14, I noticed how delicate the balance of power within the workplace can be, and how frequently injustices can arise. It was for these very reasons that I made the decision to dedicate my talents to fighting for the inherent constitutional rights of individuals and small businesses. Having worked myself up from fast food worker to a respected attorney and owner of my own firm, I am motivated and dedicated to standing up for the rights of others in the workplace and maintaining justice in the field of employment law. This unique blend of experience, education, and passion allow me to be the very best defender of employee rights.. Professional Experience.

From the mature executive in the boardroom to the young newcomer who just started in the mailroom, anyone, regardless of their tenure or seniority within an organization, may find themselves in a position where employment counseling or advocacy is needed.. Personalized Representation. My combined experience has resulted in a comprehensive view of the corporate world which in turn provided me with a dedicated understanding of how to maximize benefits, preserve rights and push for social justice for each client I represent.
