About Judith
Biography
I have a passion for representing victims of employment discrimination in pursuit of justice for each. I have been and continue to be a zealous advocate for my clients. With my team of four lawyers and a paralegal, my firm has been very successful in litigating and in settling big, medium and small dollar employment law cases. We are smart, practical, and approachable. I have been described by defense lawyers as the one that employer's lawyers hate to come up against - "charming but deadly." My 50-years of experience give me a clear vision of how best to pursue a client's case to a righteous conclusion. We are fierce advocates and wise counselors.

Simply the Best!
Female warrior! Knows the law! I had the privilege of Judith representing me in a nasty employment law/discrimination lawsuit.
