Biography

I exclusively handle employment law and personal injury cases. With regard to employment law, I represent only employees in a wide range of employment law matters, including employment discrimination, disability discrimination, pregnancy discrimination, sexual harassment, FMLA issues, retaliation, wrongful termination, and wage and hour violations. I also offer a flat rate pricing option for severance package and employment contract reviews. In my personal injury practice, I represent people who have been seriously injured in automobile, slip and fall, or other types of accidents. Navigating the legal system can be overwhelming without an experienced advocate on your side. My clients are my number one priority. I promptly respond to all calls and e-mails from my clients and guide them through every step of the legal process, both ensuring that their rights are being protected and that they understand and feel comfortable with the decisions being made in their case. I offer a free phone consultation for all prospective clients.

Q. False sexual harrasment accusation
A: I'm sorry to hear about your situation. There may not be much you can do from a legal standpoint unfortunately. If you work for a private company, you are most likely an at will employee, which means that you can be terminated at any time, with or without a reason, so if the company decides to fire you for this, there's probably no recourse. You could potentially have a claim against the person accusing you, but you would need to show the accusations were false, and it does not sound like that is the case since there were some inappropriate text messages exchanged.
