About
I am a workers' rights lawyer with a public interest background. My current practice focuses on representing workers in wage theft claims and claims of discrimination, in both class actions and individual cases (in court or arbitration). I have represented workers in a wide range of industries, including nurses, entertainers, and building service workers. I also advise workers about severance negotiations/agreements, non-compete provisions and other employment contract provisions, and other legal issues, and represents workers and organizations in appellate litigation.
About Wrongful Termination Law
Wrongful termination attorneys represent employees who were illegally fired from their jobs. They fight to recover lost wages and damages. Common matters include illegal firing, retaliation, discrimination, breach of contract.
