Biography
I am an experienced trial attorney specializing in employment law cases in Oregon. Based in Portland, Oregon, I help clients all over the state with employment discrimination and retaliation cases. I have successfully represented employees in court and in arbitration. Prior to starting my own practice representing employees, I worked at Jackson Lewis, one of the largest employment law firms in the country. I also previously worked as an assistant district attorney with the Curry County District Attorney's office.
