Employment and Labor Law Attorney
My law firm represents both EMPLOYEES and EMPLOYERS in a wide array of Employment and Labor Law matters, including:

• Litigation
• Mediation

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. My firm counsels Employers before terminating or disciplining an employee to minimize the risk of litigation. Early intervention, investigation and documentation often times resolves employment disputes in a cost effective manner for employers and business owners. My firm is devoted to providing ethical representation and personal attention in a cost-conscious and timely manner.
