Practice Areas
Being treated differently or harassed at work because of your race, sex, disability, age, sexual orientation, religion, or another protected characteristic can affect your livelihood and well-being. I represent employees facing discrimination or harassment in hiring, pay, promotions, termination, or their day-to-day work environment.
Discrimination & Harassment
Pregnancy & Reproductive Rights
How an employer responds to pregnancy, childbirth, fertility treatment, or reproductive health decisions can affect your job and well-being. I help employees facing discrimination, difficulties obtaining accommodations, and leave or return-to-work disputes related to these issues.
Retaliation
Speaking up at work can lead to unexpected consequences. I help employees facing discipline, reduced hours, termination, or other negative treatment after reporting discrimination, requesting accommodations, or exercising workplace rights.
Employees who report suspected unlawful conduct or refuse to participate in it deserve support in understanding their rights. I advise employees concerned about workplace wrongdoing and represent those facing retaliation for reporting concerns or refusing to participate in unlawful activity.
Whistleblower Protection
Disability Accommodations & Medical Leave
A health condition can affect how you work and when you need time away. I help with requests for modified schedules, workplace adjustments, and medical or family leave, as well as disputes over denied requests or returning to work.
Severance & Employment Agreements
An agreement can affect your compensation, your rights, and your ability to move to another job. I review and negotiate severance packages, employment contracts, noncompetes, and other workplace agreements so you understand the terms before deciding whether to sign.
