I assist those who believe they have suffered an adverse employment action with filing a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and represent them in any mediation or federal court lawsuits resulting from that charge.

I assist any person in civil litigation with either bringing a lawsuit or defending against a lawsuit brought against them.

Sexual Harassment 10%

I specialize in representing victims of sexual harassment in the workplace. I assist them in negotiating with their employer prior to filing an EEOC charge to see if a resolution can be reached, or if not going forward and filing a federal suit.

Wrongful Termination 10%

Indiana has very few protections from wrongful termination outside of discrimination. I help employees determine if one of those exceptions applies to them, including as a whistleblower, and then file a state court lawsuit to defend their rights.

Ridiculous, Rude, Pathetic

Upon calling this attorney, I was shocked at the disqualification of a few simple questions that I wanted to field in response to a possible consultation for representation on a work related matter. This attorney seemed to relish trivializing my concerns over a matter that is somewhat important to m...e and was so dismissive of my inquiry that it is very understandable that her case load is so light that she has time to answer her own phone and doesn't even have enough professionalism to answer the phone as if it was an attorney's office. I was left with the Impression that I would be much better served by representing myself in the matter as I felt utterly overcharged for the free consultation.

Sir, I am sorry that the free legal information you gained in our five minute conversation did not meet your expectations. My brief advice to you, borne out of over thirty years of active law practice, was designed to help you understand that the facts of your matter, in my opinion, do not rise to the level of an actionable case in Indiana. Other attorneys may feel differently, and of course you are free to consult with them as well.
