I am a passionate and driven advocate for all of my clients. I have been practicing law for 12 years, mostly in labor and employment. I also spent three years in medical malpractice. I am especially adept at helping medical professionals navigate employment contracts and disputes. I have a great deal of experience representing the little guy against their employers large and small. My goal is to resolve your case without costing you an arm and a leg.
My clients appreciate that I am attentive, energetic, honest, and a sharp negotiator. I will work efficiently and strategically to be your voice in the court system. My goal is to cut through the costly aspects of litigation and obtain a resolution that is a net positive for my clients.
While my experience has tended to focus on individuals and their claims, I have also spent dozens of hours working with small businesses to protect them from liability for contract, wage, discrimination, and retaliation claims. If you are a small business owner requiring affordable and effective legal advice for handling employment matters, feel free to contact me. My firm is much more affordable than our large corporate competitors.
