I represent individuals who believe their employment rights have been violated. In this field, I handle cases involving local, state, and federal civil rights and employment statutes, including the 1964 Civil Rights Act (Title VII), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Rehabilitation Act, the D.C. Human Rights Act (and its equivalent in Florida, Maryland, New York and Virginia), the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and the Equal Pay Act. I represent individuals who believe they have been treated unfairly or subjected to discrimination on a variety of bases, including

 + Age
 + Disability
 + Family status/family and medical leave
 + National origin
 + Pregnancy
 + Race
 + Religion
 + Sex and sexual harassment
 + Sexual orientation

I have represented physicians and other health care providers in credentialing matters before professional review boards, including military hospitals.

I regularly represent corporate employees and members of the intelligence community in matters involving security clearances. I aggressively counsel and represent individuals who have been denied a security clearance or who have been told their clearances will be suspended or withdrawn. If you have a reason to believe that your clearance may be delayed or denied due to a variety of factors such as your national origin, ethnicity, financial matters or for other reasons, it is important to obtain legal counsel early in the process. I recommend that my clients do not respond to a Statement of Reasons (“SOR”) received in connection with a clearance matter without the assistance of an attorney. Your career may be at stake.

My clients in employment matters typically are corporate or government executives, and I utilize my extensive experience, counseling, and trial advocacy skills to achieve the best results available to my clients. I have litigated important, civil rights cases and even helped to draft the legislative history of the Fair Housing Advertising guidelines while I was a law student.

In addition to legal representation in individual cases, I assist corporations, non-profits and small businesses on compliance with employment laws, provides training, develop policies, conduct sexual harassment investigations, and consult on a wide variety of employment matters. I advise individual clients and organizations on other employment-related issues such as:

non-compete agreements
employment contracts
executive compensation plans
severance plans and severance packages
employee handbooks

I am prepared to litigate civil rights and employment issues in state and federal court, in administrative agencies such as the EEOC and the MSPB, and at mediations and arbitrations. I handle appeals at all levels, including state and federal courts of appeal as well as the United States Supreme Court.
