About Nikki
Biography
I am an employment law attorney based in Pittsburgh, dedicated to protecting the rights of employees and guiding businesses through complex workplace issues. My practice focuses on representing individuals in cases involving age, gender, race, disability, and retaliation discrimination, as well as claims under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the Equal Pay Act. I also advise individuals and closely held businesses on employment agreements, non-compete matters, wage and hour compliance, and drafting and implementing workplace policies and handbooks.
With a background in finance, journalism, and business, I bring a well-rounded perspective to legal advocacy. I strive to provide practical, tailored solutions that address each client’s unique needs, whether through litigation, negotiation, or preventative counseling.
I am honored to be recognized by The Best Lawyers in America®, Super Lawyers®, and Martindale-Hubbell® (AV® Preeminent™ rating). I am a Fellow in the Academy of Trial Lawyers of Allegheny County and have served as Chair of the Labor & Employment Section of the Allegheny County Bar Association. In addition, I regularly lecture on employment law topics for the Pennsylvania Bar Institute and have taught at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law.
My goal is simple: to help clients navigate the challenges of the workplace with confidence, clarity, and effective legal representation.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.
Highly recommended!
Nikki is everything you want in a good lawyer. She listens and uses her experience to guide you through, what for me were some very difficult decisions and completely unfamiliar waters. She negotiated a wonderful agreement and I've been able to move on with my life. I am very thankful!
