Over fifteen years experience handling employment law and civil rights matters. My practice began representing large employers in defending such claims but, since 2007, I have represented both employees (or former employees) who have been victims of discrimination, sexual and racial harassment, unpaid overtime and wages, and other employment law matters and small employers wrongly accused of misconduct. I have successfully tried cases before juries and prevailed in the appellate courts. My main focus is always on doing my best to represent my client's interest, whether that is trial, settlement, appeal, etc.
