Cataula Employment Lawyers

My passion for employment law ignited during my undergraduate years at the University of South Carolina. From that point, I committed myself to a career focused on ensuring lawful treatment of employees and securing justice when their rights are violated.

My involvement with the Moot Court Society also led me to compete in the Cardozo BMI Entertainment Law Competition, where my teammate and I advanced to...

I find immense professional satisfaction in advising individuals on career-related decisions.

However, not all employment situations are favorable. At times, employees face challenges such as being overlooked for promotions, receiving unequal pay compared to peers, or being terminated for reasons unrelated to performance. Other serious issues include harassment or assault in the workplace. Moreover, when an employee reports...

From a young age, I was driven by a deep sense of justice and fair play, which naturally drew me towards a career in employment law, even before I fully understood what that entailed.

My passion lies in rectifying this imbalance by fervently advocating for employees' rights under the law. I completed my undergraduate studies in history at the University of North Georgia and briefly enjoyed working in the museum field. However, my unwavering desire to actively pursue justice for others...
