Education
Employment
“I take great pride in representing employees who have been wronged by their employers and have been subjected to working under very hostile and degrading environments. Oftentimes, the employee feels powerless in such a situation yet needs to continue working to support his or her family. They endure a great deal of harassment, discrimination, and anxiety in the workplace until they simply can’t take it anymore and seek the advice of counsel. It is a great honor, and very satisfying to me both personally and professionally, when I am able to jump in and help the employee stand up to the employer.”
