Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.  I understand and appreciate that selecting an attorney can sometimes be a bit difficult.  Although a bit daunting, choosing counsel really comes down to your personal comfort level and your ability to work with and honestly communicate with your attoreny.  Over the years, I have been fortunate to represent hundreds of clients and to secure truly exceptional results for them.. Why am I different and why should you choose me as your attorney?  The answer is really quite simple.  You will always get an honest and true answer from me.  Sometimes that may not be what you want to hear - but my job is not to tell you what you want to hear; but to tell you what you need to hear.  This is important because honest responses develop trust and create realistic expectations.  A true relationship/partnership between the attorney and client leads to the best result.. My practice is entirely devoted to litigation and resolving lawsuits and disputes involving employment discrimination and labor matters including wrongful termination, wage and hour violations, class actions, disability discrimination, and discrimination based on age, race, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, gender, sex, sexual preference, gender identity, sexual orientation, military and/or veteran status.  I also represent clients in employment related cases involving trade secrets, theft of confidential information, breaches of business employment contracts and partnership agreements and unfair business practices.. As a trial attorney, my goal is simple – that is to get the best result for my client and do it quickly and efficiently.  I like to get to the point quickly and I firmly believe that attention to detail, a firm grasp of facts, a can-do attitude and a healthy dose of common sense is the best way to achieve success.. I enjoy challenges and I strive to constantly learn.  Over the years I have been privileged to help clients in hundreds of cases.  For over two decades, I have successfully helped employees, individuals and business partners obtain outstanding trial results in cases arising out of the employemtn relationship.. I have a degree in finance and business economics.  Before practicing law, I worked for a multi-national bank and then for the Federal Reserve Bank.  My ability to quickly read, understand and interpret financial documents has proven to be an invaluable skill and allows me to identify where assets may be potentially hidden.. What sets me apart from other attorneys?  I take the time to develop personal relationships with clients and I am genuinely interested in understanding what is important to them.  Lawsuits and litigation is not easy and “winning” is not always measured by the amount of money recovered or saved.  Quite often winning can be as simple as ending a dispute to achieve peace of mind and doing what is right.. What better way to achieve optimal results for a client than to truly understand what is important to them!. If you have a legal problem with your employer or business partner, I invite you to call me.  You will get honest and direct responses and most likely you will enjoy your conversation with me - even if you choose not to retain my services.. Thank you again.. All the Best!. ---. Handling cases throughout California including Los Angeles, Van Nuys, Woodland Hills, Encion, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando Valley, Inland Empire, Orange County, Riverside, San Bernardino,  San Diego, Ventura, Kern, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Fresno.

I started my firm in June 2015 because I love people and I wanted to work with people. There are a lot of lawyers who represent big corporations, but I wanted to represent good people for their righteous cases. That's why I represent employees against their employers and the victims of injuries in personal injury cases. My clients have been wronged, oppressed and their rights have somehow been violated. I work on a contingency-basis so my clients don't have to worry about paying me until the case is resolved and a settlement or a verdict has been reached. It's a huge honor for my team and I to represent our clients and achieve justice!. When I first started, I rented a very tiny office for myself. About six months in to my practice I hired my first legal assistant. The amount of clients I was representing began to increase so I moved into a bigger office and hired more staff. I now have talented and compassionate attorneys who work here along with hardworking and dedicated assistants and paralegals.

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. After earning my bachelor's degree in criminal justice, I quickly took on a position as a law clerk. Two years of work in this field provided me with even more insight into the nuances of the legal sector, and in 2000, I was admitted to practice law in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Today, I am a practicing attorney in Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, as well as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit sitting in Philadelphia, and the U.S. Supreme Court. Over the course of more than 15 years, I has seen and worked on hundreds of Plaintiff's Employment Law cases. As a result, I amj well versed in the minutia necessary to fight for my clients' best interests and ensure that justice is served. I am constantly aware of the specific steps that must be taken - and when - in order to arrive at the best possible outcome. I believe and remain dedicated to establishing strong client relationships and maintaining open lines of communication which make it possible for me to make superior arguments for each individual case and client.. Areas of Expertise. Because virtually 100% of my practice is devoted to Employment Law, I understands how difficult it can be to feel like your employer always has the upper hand..

In addition, I am proficient in areas related to Sexual Harassment and Hostile Work Environment; Sexual Orientation Discrimination; ADA and Disability Discrimination; Family and Medical Leave Act ("FMLA"); Race Discrimination, Color Discrimination, and Ethnic Discrimination (a/k/a National Origin Discrimination); Religious Discrimination; Marital Status Discrimination; Genetic Information Discrimination; Reverse Discrimination; and other matters resolved through Employment Litigation and/or Employment Mediation.. Clientele. Because of my knowledge and extensive experience in representing employees at even the highest rungs of the corporate ladder, I am able to advocate for a wide range of clients. 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. I always strive to put a human face on legal arguments, providing each client with highly professional, yet empathetic and personalized services. Ultimately, my goal is to make the legal process as smooth and seamless as possible for his clients.. Through honesty, hard work, and a fire for upholding the law, I fight for the interests of those in need. By shouldering this burden on behalf of my clients, I am able to provide them with a voice, sound advice, and personal empowerment in a way that minimizes their stress levels during the course of their employment litigation..

Our focus is to understand your needs and expectations and honor your wishes your legal representatives. Our attorneys begin by listening to your story, learning how your injury or loss has impacted your life and understanding what outcomes you hope to get out of your case..

I am passionate about what I do.  It is my honor to be a trial lawyer and assist people who have had their careers severely damaged or ended due to the illegal conduct of an employer. My past experience as an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Texas and as a defense lawyer in one of the nation's largest law firms gives me unique insights and an advantage when it comes to effectively representing employees.. When you retain me to represent you, you get me, not an associate or junior lawyer.  I will take full control over every aspect of your case and give it my personal attention.  In my experience, this gives me an advantage over my opponents because I have handled every aspect of your case myself, rather than allowing a less experienced attorney to handle some matters and then try to understand what occurred later.. I am board certified in Labor & Employment Law and represent employees in overtime, harassment, wrongful discharge, and fraud/whistleblower cases. This includes claims of discrimination, sexual harassment, breach of employment agreements, and noncompete defense, as well as claims of unpaid overtime and corporate fraud and/or fraud against the government.
