I have devoted my practice to representing victims of severe harassment and discrimination in the workplace. In this day and age, we simply cannot tolerate racism, mysogyny, or bigotry of any kind - and certainly not in the workplace. I am very selective in the cases that I accept, making sure that my cases are significant and have a high likelihood of success at trial. Because I work on contingency, I make certain that protecting against discrimination does not mean putting my clients in financial duress.

I grew up in Brookline, Massachusetts, and moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1980, where I graduated from the University of Michigan's residential college. While in Ann Arbor, I was also a taxicab driver for Ann Arbor Yellow Cab, a music reviewer for the Ann Arbor News, a record store clerk, and a disc jockey at WCBN radio and numerous clubs and private parties. During my subsequent years at Boston College Law School, I was a student intern at both the Massachusetts Law Reform Institute and the United Auto Workers headquarters. I settled in the Washington, D.C. area in 1988, when I began my legal career as an appellate litigator with the National Labor Relations Board, enforcing that Board's orders pertaining to disputes between employees and their unions, and management. I later represented a major national labor union, and then advocated for children and families in the Washington, D.C. child abuse and neglect system.. I love my practice representing employees and job applicants in the Washington, D.C. area and elsewhere who have been wronged. Although I typically represent individuals and small groups of employees, I have observed that there are numerous workplace injustices that occur repeatedly, and that there are structural barriers to employment justice in the United States that need to be counteracted. Informed by that recognition, I have worked persistently through the years to earn my reputation for tireless advocacy on behalf of my clients in all facets of employment litigation, including developing the factual record, opposing employer motions for summary judgment, trying cases and contesting issues on appeal when necessary. I hope and believe that by helping to obtain justice in my clients' individual circumstances, I can do my small part to make the workplace more just.

I formed my firm in July 2003 to undertake a pro bono matter matter that I could not undertake pro bono with my prior firm. Since then, I have worked primarily on Clean Air Act issues and administrative-law challenges to actions by federal agencies, including EPA, HHS, FDA, and DOE.
My full resume is available at
My goals are to continue to provide high-caliber legal respresentation with flexible billing arrangements, while having time to devote to my family. Environmentally, I have significant experience in the Clean Air Act, especially the preemption of state and local vehicular standards, as well as TSCA and FIFRA. With civil rights, I am the national expert (through lack of any competition) on the administrative history of federal "Title IX" regulations.Beyond these specific substantive areas, I work extensively in the general area of judicial review of agency action under the APA, Section 1983, and their state-law equivalents.
