Joe was easy to talk to and heard my concerns regarding a personnel issue I considering litigating. He gave great advice in next steps and suggested that I follow up afterward. Upon follow-up we agreed that due to the "At Will" nature of my position it would not be in my best interest to move forward. After further issues occurred, I shared the final outcome with him and we concurred that my employer would be able to spin things however they wanted. Although not what I was hoping for, it was pretty much what I expected. It saved me a lot of time and effort to wind up with the same outcome.
He's a very knowledgeable employment lawyer with great experience in a variety of cases. Gave the guidance I needed and was always available to answer any questions I had. I would absolutely recommend.
Involves all aspects of working for an employer, regardless of whether it is a public sector [govt] or private employer. Handles questions involving laws that impact the employee at all sizes of employers.
Contracts are not an area for a 'cut and paste' approach. Yes, there are forms out there, but a qualified attorney guides you through a complete evaluation of all the issues.
An area that is closely related to employment law, but with its own issues and laws.

AN EMPLOYMENT LAWYER THAT KNOWS BOTH SIDESCONTRACTS ARE COMPLICATED. I TAKE A COMPLICATED AND MAKE IT UNDERSTANDABLE.EMPLOYERS HAVE LAWYERS AND YOU SHOULD TOO.
I have been an attorney for more than 25 years. I am currently admitted and in good standing in Florida, New York and Texas.
My focus is employment law: contracts, non-dislcosure | non-complete agreements, workplace safety and rules, discrimination, fair pay issues (FLSA) and of course, termination (firing) concerns.
If you feel you have an employment related matter, I encourage prospective clients to contact me directly here on AVVO.
