About Penn
Biography
In I recover unpaid and underpaid wages and compensation for employeees who should been paid correctly in the first place in NY, CO & GA. I also review and negotiate employment contracts and tricky workplace situations in general. At , I work with Coloradans experiencing family and relationship disputes and transitions, with a mission of empowering my clients to make the best decisions for themselves and their families and then working with them to see that through.
I actually care about getting my clients what they deserve, I'm persistent and tenacious, and I know what I'm doing.
In regard to my wage practice, I represent individuals (and classes of individuals) in cases including unpaid and underpaid wages (overtime, minimum wage, commission nonpayment, improper tip payment practices... basically anything related to workers not getting paid what they should have). I do this on a contingency basis the vast majority of the time, so that clients don't have to pay my fees out of their pockets.
I also review employment contracts (non-competes, severance agreements, etc.) for a flat fee to give my clients predictability, and try to offer advice beyond just a technical legal analysis based on over a decade of experience watching how things tend to play out in various employment situations.
I also decided to engage in family law work because I believe that there is a better way to handle these difficult transitions than I've seen.
I'm a member of the New York, Colorado and Georgia Bars, and actively handle cases in all three jurisdictions.

Duh...
I hired this attorney to draft a letter of appeal to the City University of New York (CUNY) because I have been unfairly denied a place on a CUNY civil service list for which I qualify. This attorney and I discussed at that time that CUNY has a 2-step appeal process. I paid her $450 to do a rough fir...
