About Whitney
Biography
I am an attorney at Caffarelli & Associates. I concentrate my practice in employment litigation and am deeply committed to advancing employee rights. I have broad experience representing clients in a wide range of employment matters, including wage and hour violations, whistleblower retaliation, and claims under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
I also advocate for individuals who have faced workplace discrimination and harassment based on disability, age, race, gender, sexual orientation, and pregnancy. A central focus of my practice is representing women who have experienced gender-based discrimination, sexual harassment, and assault in the workplace. I regularly handle cases involving hostile work environments, unlawful retaliation, and disparities in hiring, promotion, and compensation.
In addition to my individual advocacy, I maintain a robust class action practice with a focus on claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), and the Equal Pay Act (EPA). I am dedicated to challenging systemic workplace injustices and securing meaningful results for both individuals and groups.
