I have been representing employees in their workplace disputes for more than thirty years. Although I have represented hundreds of workers, I still find it immensely satisfying to help individuals understand their rights in the workplace and to seek justice for those who have been treated illegally by their employers. Whether I am litigating a case on behalf of a janitor who has been sexually assaulted at work, negotiating a settlement for an employee who has been subjected to discrimination, or assisting an executive in negotiating a new employment agreement, I bring a wealth of experience, a practical approach and a sense of deep compassion for my clients to all of my work.
