I have been practicing law in central Pennsylvania for almost thirty years with a third of that time working at larger law firms. While working in the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General, I handled complex discrimination and employment cases and defended the Commonwealth in civil rights and constitutional matters. My large law firm exposure gave me experience helping businesses beyond just employment issues including contracts and business-to-business conflicts. The time came for me to open my own firm and focus on partnering more closely with each of my clients to determine their needs. By going solo, I am able to offer my vast experience to my clients at much more reasonable rates with a very personal approach.
