I advise employers on all manner of federal, state, and local employment laws across jurisdictions, including paid sick leave, FMLA and ADA leave, minimum wage and myriad discrimination and harassment laws. As an employment litigator, I defend clients against wrongful and constructive discharge claims, discrimination, harassment and hostile work environment allegations, and wage and hour violations, both in court and in front of the Washington Human Rights Commission and EEOC.

"Kirsten's enthusiasm about employment law is contagious. Whether she's drafting employment policies, responding to an EEOC charge, or presenting a case in court, Kirsten provides experienced and diligent representation. As her former colleague, I can attest to her ability to navigate through difficult cases, remaining a tough advocate whose no-nonsense approach is respected by her peers and clients alike. I endorse Kirsten Daniels."
"Kirsten is an experienced and knowledgeable attorney. I always turn to her with questions in labor/employment law as well as general litigation. She has excellent logic and reasoning, and is passionate about her area of law. That passion makes her an excellent counselor for her clients, and drives her extensive and in-depth knowledge of statutes, codes, and case law that apply to her clients."
"Kirsten has everything you could ever want from an attorney: efficiency, effectiveness, and effervescence of personality. She is a tremendous employment law advocate. She also "taught" me alliteration as my opponent in a moot court case. As you can see, I still remember!"
"Ms. Daniels consulted with me on a matter wherein she was advocating on behalf of a criminal defendant wherein this person may have otherwise been left without proper guidance, as she does not practice criminal defense. Through this exchange, her passion for helping people facing legal situations became evident. I endorse this attorney. "
