About Me
I’m a trial lawyer with two decades of experience fighting for justice in employment law, business disputes, and civil rights cases.
My mission is simple: to protect legal rights in the workplace and prioritize people at the center of business disputes.
From standing up to retaliation and discrimination to handling business conflicts and privacy violations, I work tirelessly to help my clients achieve the justice they deserve.
I’ve built a career advocating for individuals who’ve faced wrongful termination, harassment, defamation, and workplace fraud. I’ve helped companies tackle tough legal battles and come out on top. Whether it’s navigating business litigation or enforcing contracts, my goal is to empower my clients and hold wrongdoers accountable.
My practice areas include:
I’ve been recognized for my work by Illinois Super Lawyers and Leading Lawyers, and my jury verdicts have ranked among the Top 20 in Illinois and Top 100 in the U.S. for commercial litigation. I am also a proud member of key legal organizations including the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association, the National Employment Lawyers Association, and the National Whistleblower Center’s Attorney Referral Program.
Why Work With Me?
I take a client-first approach, providing clear guidance and strong advocacy to help individuals stand up for what’s right. Whether you’re an employee facing workplace challenges or a business navigating disputes, my focus is on delivering real results that protect your rights.
Recognitions and Leadership:
If you’re looking for an experienced trial lawyer dedicated to justice and results, I’m here to help. Contact me to learn how I can advocate for you.
