About My Practice
I joined the legal profession to practice employment law. After many years of managing a small business, I became keenly aware that every workplace dispute presents its own set of issues, both personal and legal. The details matter. I believe effective advocacy is rooted in open and thorough communication between the attorney and the client, from the initial consultation through settlement or judgment.
