About Michael
Biography
I am passionate about the practice of employment law on behalf of employers. My focus is on helping employers make employment-related decisions intended to avoid or reduce the risks of litigation.
I have also successfully represented employers in all aspects of litigation in state and federal courts, before state and federal administrative agencies, and in arbitration involving claims of workplace harassment, discrimination, wrongful termination, whistle-blower retaliation, reasonable accommodation, breach of contract, civil rights, non-competition violations, minority shareholder oppression, intentional infliction of emotional distress, protected concerted activity, and wage and hour. I also take great pride in effectively and efficiently resolving lawsuits and administrative charges, consistent with the employer’s strategic objectives.
Please contract me to discuss how I may assist your organization. Thank you for viewing my profile.
