Practice Area

Employment and Labor 100%

I represent clients in administrative actions (like EEOC charges) and litigation. Most of my work is defending clients accused of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation under Title VII, the ADA, the ADEA, Section 1981. I've also defended NLRB Unfair Labor Practice Charges. I advise clients in complying with employment law, in the hopes of heading off litigation.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I've handled at least one case on the other side of Whitney as opposing counsel. She's both highly effective effective as defense counsel and easy to work with; that's a rare combination in our state on the defense end. I'd recommend her to any business with an employment discrimination matter."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
