You know that scientist in the action movie who has all the right answers if only the government would just pay attention?If you want a nerdy employment-lawyer brain to help you solve HR-compliance issues proactively before the action sequence, I’m here to help. These days, employee training is at the top of most employers’ lists. The United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has approved me to train your workforce from rank-and-file to the C-Suite. Additionally, I offer day-to-day employment counseling, workplace audits and investigations, and other prophylactic measures to keep your workplace working while you focus on running your business. I know my stuff! There’s my blog (www.TheEmployerHandbook.com), which the ABA Journal recently inducted into its Blawg100 Hall of Fame. In addition to being a frequent presenter across the country on HR-compliance issues, among other outlets, I’ve been quoted in ABCNews.com, NBCSports.com, AMEX's Small Business Open Forum, Inc. Magazine, Business Insurance, Entrepreneur, Mashable.com, The Wall Street Journal, and the British tabloids.And for those employers in the midst of conflict, I bring all of my know-how to bear as your zealous advocate. I’m a trial-tested, experienced litigator who has represented companies of all sizes in a veritable alphabet soup of employment law claims, such as the ADA, ADEA, CEPA, FMLA, FLSA, NJLAD, PHRA, Title VII, and USERRA. I also help clients litigate disputes involving restrictive covenants such as non-competition and non-solicitation agreements, as well as conflicts over the use of trade secrets and other confidential information.My practice is multi-faceted. When I’m not serving as a counselor or advocate, I’m helping parties get to "yes" through alternative dispute resolution. I serve as a private mediator, volunteer mediator for the EEOC, and court-appointed mediator in the federal court system. In case you are wondering, I do sleep. But, not much.

For over a decade, I have mediated disputes between employers and employees only. Pair this with the depth of knowledge gained through years of private practice as an employment lawyer and my obsessive writing on all things employment law, and I am a go-to neutral for both employee-rights and management-side attorneys to resolve disputes for their clients.Not only do I mediate privately, but I volunteer in the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's Mediation Program, and serve a mediator in multiple federal courts.

Several times each year, I serve on three-arbitrator panels (often as panel Chairperson) as part of the Compulsory Arbitration Program in the First Judicial District's (Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County).

I publish The Employer Handbook (www.TheEmployerHandbook.com), which the ABA Journal inducted into its "Blawg 100 Hall of Fame" in 2017. Now, I know what a few of you are thinking, "Blogger?!? More like, 'Loser!'" Fortunately, however, most of you are far more enlightened. Indeed, being an employment lawyer and blogger opens a lot of doors. In addition to being a frequent lecturer around the country, among other outlets, I've been quoted in ABCNews.com, NBCSports.com, AMEX's Small Business Open Forum, Inc. Magazine, Business Insurance, Entrepreneur, Mashable.com, The Wall Street Journal, and the British tabloids.You can subscribe to my blog by following this link --> http://bit.ly/2scp9gE

ERISA. At least it put some hair on my chest.

Come on! You expect me to remember, specifically, what I did back at the turn of the century?
