My criminal practice includes trial and appellate matters in both state and federal courts where I have represented clients on charges ranging from drug possession and conspiracy, animal abuse, money laundering, obstruction of justice, fraud, tax evasion, and other white collar crimes, murder, and foreign extradition.  I have also counseled and assisted clients during federal investigations.. In my civil practice, I represent employees in cases in state and federal courts and before the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination (MCAD) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which include claims of: employment discrimination (i.e., race, gender, disability, pregnancy, caregiver status, age), sexual harassment, retaliation, hostile work environment, wrongful discharge, and violations of the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), wage and hour laws, and whistleblower protection laws.  I also advise and represent clients in severance negotiations and other workplace conflicts to resolve disputes without resorting to litigation.  I have worked on behalf of executives and professionals in a variety of industries, including finance, law, higher education, government, and healthcare.. In addition to employment law, my civil practice includes civil rights cases and representing students in university/academic disciplinary and Title IX proceedings.

I am a solo practitioner who will meet you at a location convenient to you.  Meeting with an attorney can be a challenging experience due to concerns of cost and commitment.  I work with clients to ensure they have access to zealous, competent legal assistance that is worth the expense.  I do not charge for consultations and if I am unable to help you I'll find someone who can.  Give me a call and we can discuss your situation.  I don't take a matter I am not willing to pursue vigorously.
