WHY WE ARE DISTINCT

 

After 20 years in practice, I decided to start my own firm and my clients thankfully followed.  Speaking as the primary member of the firm, I really like the practice the law, especially employment law, and I believe representing both plaintiffs and defendants makes me a better, more balanced, attorney.  I enjoy not only getting to know my clients and the problems they are facing, but understanding their jobs and motivations, or in the case of employers, their business, goals and atmosphere and assisting in helping managers and HR professionals in handling day-to-day employment issues. Not every dispute has to go to court, and I enjoy helping to prevent problems and working with employees and employers on creative solutions.  I am proud of the client relationships I have built, and I am a strong and fierce advocate.
