That means I represent employees — not companies — when something has gone wrong at work: discrimination, retaliation, harassment, and other types of unfair treatment that results in the loss of a job that shouldn’t have been lost.
I built this practice around a single idea: that the quality of representation an employee gets shouldn’t depend on how deep the other side’s pockets are.
I take a small number of cases each year. A focused caseload lets me give each matter the attention it requires rather than dividing my time across many. It also means I can be straight with you early. If I don’t think your case is one I should bring, I’ll tell you.
When I do take a case, I handle all of it. You might hire me to handle the administrative process – whether through the EEOC or Delaware Department of Labor. Or you might hire me to file your case in state or federal court to judgment, and on appeal, if it comes to that. I prepare every case as though it will be tried, because the strongest settlements come when the other side believes you’re ready to go the distance.
Employment cases are rarely just about money. They’re about your reputation, your livelihood, and the sense that you were treated unfairly by people who held power over you.
I take that seriously, and I think the lawyer you trust with it should be someone you can actually talk to. That’s part of why I keep the practice small.
