EMPLOYEES: As an employment law attorney, My firm fights to secure just compensation for employment law clients who have been victims of sexual and racial harassment, discrmination on basis of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, and national origin, wrongful termination, retaliation, or victimized by unlawful employment practices including unpaid wages, overtime pay, and meal and rest periods, and unpaind reimbursements. My firm tenaciously and firmly stands behind the rights of employees who have been wronged.
EMPLOYERS: My firm counsels employers on preventing litigation, developing effective personnel policies and other employment agreements.

Early intervention, investigation and documentation often times resolves employment disputes in a cost effective manner for employers and business owners.
