About my practice. I opened my NYC-based law practice in 1991, to serve clients with workplace and civil rights issues.

Why do I do this? Because fairness in the workplace matters to all of us.  And because I want to make a difference for workers’ rights and civil rights and liberties.

Who are my clients?  People from all walks of life – executives in career transition, low wage workers, managers and professionals, small business owners, military service members and veterans.  My clients work in corporations, small businesses, and non-profit and faith-based organizations; the military and the government; technology and finance; healthcare and publishing; academia and the media. 

What kinds of workplace cases do I handle?  A wide range – discrimination and harassment, accommodation issues, pay issues, contract issues, severance review and negotiation.  And more.  My focus is on finding meaningful and cost-effective solutions for my clients – whether through advice and counsel, negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or court. 

What’s my approach?  I approach each client as an individual, and each case with creativity, empathy, and a deep commitment to justice.   I listen to you carefully to focus on your goals and the best way to achieve them, legally and strategically.   

What else do I do?  I teach: Employment Discrimination Law as an Adjunct Professor at Touro Law School. I support my colleagues and the organizations that are important to me: I’m Vice President for Affiliates of the National Employment Lawyers Association and co-General Counsel to the New York Civil Liberties Union.  My professional speaking and writing include presentations on ethics, workplace harassment, and military conscientious objector law.

How did I get here? Via Columbia Law School, a Federal Court clerkship, and working as a lawyer in a range of civil rights and workers’ rights roles – details on LinkedIn.

And when I’m not being a lawyer?  You’ll find me enjoying NYC’s neighborhoods, food, and culture; exploring hiking trails; playing chamber music; and making a dent in the pile of books on my bedside table.
