Strategic Legal Counsel.
Zealous Courtroom Advocate.
For Employees and Students.
New York City-based employment and civil rights attorney
I represent individuals and groups of employees who face discrimination, harassment, wage theft, wrongful termination and other injustice on the job. I also represent students who are victims of sexual harassment, sexual assault, gender discrimination and retaliation at the college and graduate school level. For more than twenty years, I have helped students and employees at all levels, in a variety of industries, protect their rights.
PERSONAL SERVICE WITH A FOCUS ON RESULTS
My goal is to provide you with personalized legal service that is efficient, affordable and gets the results you want in a timely way.
I personally handle each client matter from start to finish. If you hire me, I will not hand off the work to a legal secretary or associate with limited legal experience. I will use the knowledge and judgment I have developed over decades in the legal industry to resolve your matter quickly and achieve the most favorable outcome.
I partner with my clients to understand their goals and work tirelessly to help them realize those objectives. I empower my clients by providing fair case evaluations, prompt responses to questions, and regular updates. I minimize the stress of litigation by making sure each client understands the process and by thoroughly preparing clients for appearances such as depositions and trial testimony. I advance the case with aggressive advocacy at every opportunity.
I am not afraid to take on your employer, even if you work for the biggest government agency or multi-national company. I litigate strategically, focusing on what it takes to get a case to a jury and win. I avoid unnecessary disputes that extend the life of the lawsuit. I invest in the latest legal technology so I have the same or better tools than attorneys at large firms.
I have litigated and resolved employment-related disputes on behalf of hundreds of clients.
I have secured $20 million in settlements and jury awards for my clients.
PRACTICE AREAS
I work on a contingent-fee basis:
You pay nothing unless there is a settlement or jury award
Contingent-fee representation
I represent some clients on a contingent fee basis, which means the client does not pay any attorney’s fees unless the case is resolved with a settlement or by a jury. The contingent fee is 30-40% of the amount recovered, and is based on risk and other factors relating to the case.
Not all cases are eligible for contingency fee arrangements, but if I believe that you have a strong case, I will work with you, regardless of your ability to pay.
Flat-fee representation
I represent some clients on a flat fee basis, which means I will perform all of legal work you need done for a set price.
Hourly representation
I represent some clients on an hourly basis, which means I charge an hourly rate for the legal services I provide. My hourly rates are competitive because I keep my overheard low and pass on the savings to my clients.
