About Alexandra
Biography
Employment counseling and litigation:
I counsel individuals and employers on workplace laws, review and negotiate employment contracts and separation agreements, and litigate employment- and other business-related disputes.
Investigations:
I conduct investigations for employers whose employees have made internal complaints of discrimination or harassment.
Appeals:
I represent clients in post-conviction criminal proceedings in both federal and state court. I also welcome clients with civil appeals, particularly in the employment litigation context. I have briefed, argued, and won appeals in the Massachusetts Appeals Court, the Supreme Judicial Court, and the Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.
