For more than 30 years, I have represented employees as an employment law specialist, advocating for individuals subjected to unlawful discrimination, retaliation, and other workplace abuses. I have also represented individuals, partnerships, and corporations in a broad range of commercial litigation matters, including fraud, breach of contract, special investigations, and other business-related matters. Across both employment and commercial cases, I confront wrongdoing head-on, expose abuse, and enforce accountability under the law. My loyalty to my clients—and the trust they place in me—is unwavering.
I offer a free one-hour consultation, represent clients on a contingent-fee basis, and provide pro-bono services in appropriate circumstances when justice demands it.
After earning degrees from Georgetown University and Georgetown Law, I clerked for a prestigious federal judge in New York City, served in the U.S. Department of Justice and the Executive Office of the President, and trained at elite Washington, D.C. law firms.
I spent decades representing individuals, domestic and international corporations in high-stakes litigation, non-litigation and regulatory matters, advising clients from small businesses and political figures to global enterprises across industries including aircraft manufacture, real estate development, intermodal container shipping, banking, healthcare, customs, investigations, insurance company regulation, lobbying and election law. That experience taught me to assess cases early, anticipate defenses, opposing strategies, and prosecute claims with precision and relentless focus.
Today, I bring that same intensity and trial-ready mindset to individuals who are the victims of discrimination, executives, and growing companies who need a lawyer prepared to fight—and win whether in court or otherwise. Every case reflects a work ethic forged through years of competition in intercollegiate rowing: never retreat, press harder under pressure, finish strong, and prevail.
Employment and business law:
