I love the practice of law: the opportunity to listen to and help people, the learning involved on almost a daily basis, and the pride I feel in putting out the tremendous effort it has taken to not only become a lawyer, but become an excellent, professional, caring attorney. I have become known as The Inspiring Esquire. www.TheInspiringEsquire.com
My practice focuses primarily upon discrimination in the workplace including The American with Disabilities Act. I, myself, am a Proud Attorney with Parkinson's Disease. I was diagnosed at age 41 and am 50 years young in 2011.
If you are dealing with disability or other discrimination issues, you are likely in unfamiliar territory, outside your comfort zone and experiencing the full range of emotions (I know, I was there).
If you are an employer who is serious about complying with laws against discrimination, I want to hear from you also. I offer Proactive Harassment Prevention Culture Workshops. www.ProactivePreventionCulture.com
I obtained my law degree from Cornell University in 1986, passed three bar exams, and have practiced law for 25 years. If you want to know more about the law enacted to prevent discrimination and harassment, please don't hesitate to contact me for a free consultation.
In order to minimize the stress involved in this life situation and not require that you drive downtown to a cold office building, I have opened an office on the east side of Louisville near Long Run Park. From the Shelbyville Road exit on the Gene Snyder, travel 3.5 miles east, turn left on Long Run Road, travel exactly 4 miles, turn left 100 yards after Long Run Woods subdivision into Oakmoor Woods subdivision and proceed one half mile to 1012.
In addition to my employment law practice, I teach at the University of Louisville and am a legal & management consultant, workshop facilitator and keynote inspirational speaker focusing on (a) overcoming adversity, (b) workplace proactive prevention programs including harassment elimination and (c) conducting leadership/ management and other skills training emphasising respect and appreciation.
