I am a founding partner of Feis Goldy LLC, a boutique employment law firm dedicated to advising, negotiating and litigating claims on behalf of individual employees, managers and executives. With deep experience representing both individuals and employers, and serving as a neutral, I bring unique insight to provide the highest quality service and strategic representation to our firm's clients. I spent a substantial part of my earlier career at an international "Big Law" firm representing employers, which gives me a keen understanding of the dynamics that drive management decision-making. I developed my skills as a plaintiff-side attorney at a preeminent employment class action law firm, where I learned to translate my advocacy and negotiation skills for the benefit of employees. I use those insights and my 30+ years of employment law experience to provide our clients with smart, sophisticated, pragmatic, and strategic representation to help them achieve positive results

"Brenda is an outstanding attorney and advocate. She is extraordinarily smart and caring. As an employee advocate, she understands how businesses think and knows how to advance her clients’ interests in the most meaningful way. Brenda is strategic in how she approaches each client matter and does not follow a cookie cutter method like some other lawyers do. I originally met Brenda when she was opposing counsel in a case, and she impressed me with her knowledge of the law, the courts, and how to achieve her client’s desired goals. Brenda is an excellent listener – a crucial skill for an attorney. She is deeply involved in all of her matters, and she is in the tranches with her clients. She is a terrific lawyer and person."
"Brenda is an excellent lawyer. I had the opportunity to litigate opposite her years ago and since then have worked on another matter with her. She is hard working, thorough and committed to representing the best interests of her clients. She is a tough litigator and knowledgeable on the law."
"Brenda is a superb labor and employment attorney. She is creative and determined, and she has an exceptional command of the law as well as practicality, combined with broad interpersonal skills that enable her to relate with persons from all walks of life. I never hesitate to refer clients to her that have any potential labor or discrimination claims, as well as those individuals who require counseling and strategizing to address issues in the workplace, to secure benefits or to protect rights."
