I have prepared and argued appeals before several state and circuit court of appeals. Since 2010, I have practiced employment law from the plaintiff's perspective.

Posted by Richard | December 29, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Employment & Labor

One Of The Best Attorneys I've Ever Worked With! And my case was minor. I wish he could help me in Maine, with a major case now

We took on a huge corporation for "Constructive Termination" where the damages were minimal - my being part-time. And we resolved the case very quickly. I moved to Maine, and have run into a much bigger, age discrimination problem... I wish he was here to help - to make-up for the minor one in Texas......
