My Legal Practice

I love representing Employees who have been unfairly treated by their employers.  Although I'm also a Certified Public Accountant and can help you with taxes, disputes with the IRS and other government agencies as well as financial accounting, my passion is employment law, specifically employee rights.  As a result I'm trying to laser focus my practice to that area.

There are employers in practically every industry that try to avoid paying employees what they deserve or that look the other way when there is blatant discrimination going on.  Name an industry and I can tell you how employers try to cheat employees to pad the bottom line.  Employers bank on the fact that their employees never find an advocate like me to stand up to them.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.  Edmund Burke
