I also provide pragmatic pro-active counseling to employees and employers aimed at achieving practical results and avoiding costly and disruptive "all or nothing" litigation.

Kind, Honest, On-Point Employment Attorney

We met with Alan for a legal consult, asking him to review a separation/severance agreement. Our concerns were addressed in the legal consult, so we did not need to hire him for ongoing work. His honesty was very much appreciated. The process to set time with Alan was seamless, and our time on the... call was well spent. We were able to upload all of the information and documents ahead of time into his easy-to-use file system, and we appreciated the ability to provide those details prior to our meeting. In our meeting, Alan was kind, honest about pitfalls and opportunities, and he was right on point with our own concerns. We discussed options together and he was very helpful in allaying our concerns so that we could move forward in the process. He offered additional support if needed, but he was honest that he believed we could handle the next steps on our own. It was refreshing to speak to an attorney and not feel like they were out to "hook" us for a big fee. Alan was a referral from a local estate planning attorney-friend, and we'll be keeping him top of mind for other employment matters in the future - both for our businesses and for our own W2 employment. Thank you for everything, Alan! We appreciate you!

Employment Contract

Alan was amazing! He took the time and researched the answer. I have a "wishy-washy" non-compete contract. I was not sure which way to turn. The result was 75% in my favor, but not enough. Alan helped me see the whole picture. I wish it would have been a better out come for me. But Alan saved me fr...om making a hasty decision that would have cost me a lot of money!!! Thanks Alan....Plus he is generous with discounts to your account.

Very helpful

Alan was referred to me by a lawyer friend. He was very easy to contact, approachable, empathetic, and kind. While I wasn't able to do what I wanted (legal reasons) he did help me craft a document to state my case and file it. I feel that his fee for his service was fair as well.

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.

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.
