Biography

My practice includes employment law, business law, and open records laws.
As former federal attorney in addition to two decades of running my own practice, I bring expert experience to my matters. Each legal matter presents its own unique facts and gets my specific attention. Identifying the legal issues is of paramount importance. My focus is to analyze the legal issues and provide my clients with candid, detailed and well considered advice and representation. My clients and I have direct communication throughout their representation. It is important that my clients understand what is going on and what I am doing for them. My practice consists of employment law, business law and open records laws. As a result, my matters involve administrative processes (EEO, MSPB, OAH, etc.), state courts and federal courts. Though I am a litigator, I try to resolve things at an early stage for the benefit of my clients. My client's well being in the overall plan is front and center.
