also known as Hugh Stephen Baran
I am a workers' rights lawyer with a public interest background. My current practice focuses on representing workers in wage theft claims and claims of discrimination, in both class actions and individual cases (in court or arbitration). I have represented workers in a wide range of industries, including nurses, entertainers, and building service workers.
I also advise workers about severance negotiations/agreements, non-compete provisions and other employment contract provisions, and other legal issues, and represents workers and organizations in appellate litigation.

He is attentive to not only the nuances of the legal issues at play, but also the various strategies that may help his clients achieve their goals and obtain the resolution they seek in bringing their case.
