I practice labor and employment, immigration, and construction law in my firm’s Birmingham, Alabama office. Since I started with the firm in 1988, I have counseled employers on a wide variety of topics, including labor relations, union avoidance, equal employment opportunity, OSHA compliance, disability accommodation, FMLA compliance, non-compete agreements, and issues relating to employee discipline and termination. My immigration work includes advising clients on worksite compliance and helping employers obtain employment-based non-immigrant and immigrant visas for foreign national workers. On the construction side, I have advised contractors and others in the construction industry on contracts, contract administration, and claims. Throughout my career with the firm, I have litigated employment, construction, and various other types of claims in both state and federal courts. I have also provided assistance with union representation elections and handled matters before the National Labor Relations Board.
