For nearly 20 years, I have dedicated my practice to representing people in employment disputes. I have successfully resolved, through settlement or trial, hundreds of employment claims involving issues of discrimination, retaliation, wrongful discharge, wage and hour violations and harassment.
I represent employees through every stage of the employment relationship, from employment and non-compete agreements to severance agreements, and if necessary, litigation. I understand that a job represents more than a paycheck, and that the loss of a job can be devastating.
Another focus of my practice is Whistleblower advocacy. I feel that no one should be fired for opposing illegal conduct in the workplace. I also represent relators in federal qui tam actions under the False Claims Act. I represented the whistleblower in one of the top 100 largest recoveries in US history ($61 million).
I have been recognized as Super Lawyer in the field of Employment Litigation. I have been named a National Trial Lawyers, Top 100 Trial Lawyer. I have also been named to the Best Lawyers in America in 2016. I am a frequent speaker on topics of age, race, sex, and disability discrimination and harassment.

Ann-Marie Ahern called me from her vacation when I was wrongfully terminated as an executive. She provided immediate advice and support that made a difference for not just my case but helped me to deal with a very tough and challenging situation.

A CEO at the same company over 20 years suddenly facing age related employment discrimination, I was fortunate to be introduced to Ann-Marie. As with most, I had no experience with this kind of challenge in spite of my extensive legal exposure through normal domestic and international business. She...

when truth or facts are ignored or cloud employers' myopic views resulting in their actions becoming a potential detriment to you, it's time for legal representation, expert in labor matters.
