    I generally represent large unionized employers in all areas of labor and employment law including collective bargaining, arbitration and administrative matters. I will occasionally take an interesting case on behalf of an employee.

Experienced, Professional Attorney
Daniel was extremely diligent and thoughtful with respect to my labor case against a former large employer. He exhibited a great ability to view the issue from all sides while articulating the potential outcomes, good or bad. This case was very important to myself and family and we are happy we hired Daniel to represent our issue. He provided consistent follow up and attention, which is a great asset as well.
