Employment Law

When it comes to employment cases, good preparation is the key to success. Speed, precision and forethought can mean the difference between winning and losing.  Every move we make is with an eye toward taking your matter to trial.  When your employer understands that you understand your rights, are well prepared, and will do what is needed to protect yourself, you have a far better chance of obtaining a fair outcome.  I will give your case the attention it deserves and work with you to demand the best possible outcome.  Your rights will be protected.

Individualized attention and responsive communications.

Your livelihood, dreams, and reputation are all stake when you’ve been treated unfairly at work.  I understand how important your job is to you and what you’ve sacrificed for your position.  We’ll discuss your situation and goals very early on so that we’ll both have the big picture in mind as we move forward.  I’ll respond quickly to your phone calls and emails so that you always know the status of your case.  We’ll make large decisions about your case together because I know that your career and reputation are at issue and I always want you to be comfortable with the direction of your case.

Aggressive trial preparation from the start.

Employment law cases require focused attention from the very beginning on the evidence that will be required at trial to prove a case.  Rarely will an employer admit to behaving unfairly; I’ll move quickly to gather the evidence necessary to demonstrate to a jury that the only possible explanation for your employer’s behavior was a prohibited motive.  As a trial lawyer with over one-hundred trials under my belt, I know what evidence will be persuasive to a jury and I understand that trials are won by disciplined preparation.  Your employer will be much more likely to offer a favorable settlement to you when it is clear that we are ready and anxious for trial.  If your employer will not agree to fair settlement terms, then we’ll be ready to fight for your rights at trial.

Ready to serve you.

I handle cases regarding workplace harassment, discrimination, wrongful termination, Family and Medical Leave Act violations, retaliation, reprisal against whistle-blowers, and other illegal employment practices.  Please contact me if you feel that you’ve been treated unfairly at work.  I offer free consultations and evening and weekend appointments as necessary.  It would be an honor to serve you.
