With laws, societal norms and employee expectations constantly evolving, no two employment disputes are ever alike, and I enjoy rising to that professional and intellectual challenge by finding creative solutions to difficult problems. I witness every day how lawsuits can have a detrimental impact on a business – with the emotional and financial effects lasting well beyond the settlement or trial. This mindset is why I strive to advocate to protect the interests of my clients at every state of the dispute – both pre and post litigation.
