Whether positioning you for successful litigation or preventing it in the first place, strategy drives my work. I focus on the changing landscape (and landmines) of the workplace so you can focus on running your business.But I’m not just committed to understanding legal issues for businesses or workplaces generally. Let’s find the right solution for your business and your workplace. My sincerest goal is for you to walk away from every interaction with me trusting that I have your back.Legal issues can be nuanced, complex, and stressful. But talking to your lawyer shouldn’t be. Be forewarned: I don’t like using words like “wherefore” when I’m drafting contracts. It’s my job to understand the legal nuances and complexities so: (1) I can communicate the issues to you without the jargon, and (2) you trust me to handle the stuff that would otherwise keep you up at night. Whether you’re a multi-jurisdictional client or a small start-up, our mutual goal is your success.I want you to feel a sense of relief – not dread – when you pick up the phone and start dialing my number. I try to foster that kind of trust in every client interaction I have.We may be digging into your wage and hour practices, developing new HR processes or controls, reviewing a sensitive EEO issue, harmonizing compliance concerns across several jurisdictions, or navigating contract nuances. We may be knee-deep in litigation strategy, performance managing an unruly employee, or sorting out tough medical issues in the workplace. Whatever our project, I believe my role demands straightforward communication, pivoting with your changing needs and circumstances, and finding creative solutions.I’m married to the best guy I’ve ever met, and we have the two greatest and most adorable young children in all the universe, ever. And I promise I am abundantly more objective when giving legal advice than when describing my kids.
