Employment and Labor 100%

My practice involves representing employers exclusively in all aspects of the labor and employment relationship, including employment discrimination litigtion, client counseling, contract negotiation and employee training. I have a particular expertise in helping employers manage employees with medical conditions and disabilities, which requires the careful navigation of such federal laws as the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

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.
