I am a labor and employment lawyer, representing the employee in cases of job discrimination as well as other employment-related claims, complaints and disputes. Discrimination can occur to job applicants. Contract negotiations and enforcement can erupt in disputes. Call to discuss what happened to you. I bring deep experience to advising, determining options, and representing –

• Federal government employees
• Workers at private firms
• State or local government employees
• Personnel at an agency
• Educational institution staff
• Department of Defense and military workforce
• Where do you work? Call to speak with me if you think you need a labor and employment lawyer
• People applying to work for a private or public employer have employment rights, too.

Employees have rights that are protected by federal and state laws, rules and other statutes. When those rights have been violated or are at risk, there are procedures, claim processes, negotiations, hearings and the option of a lawsuit available to employees. You want to be treated fairly at work. The expertise of an attorney can determine if you have been dealt with unlawfully. Many people want to resolve their issue by getting what they should have had to begin with. In other situations, there may be compensation.

A labor and employment lawyer provides advice and legal representation to employees and job seekers facing various kinds of job discrimination:

• Based on race, sex, color or national origin
• Age discrimination
• Disability (or perceived disability) discrimination
• Unfair treatment during pregnancy
• Bias due to marital status
• Sexual orientation (or perceived sexual orientation) prejudicial treatment
• Gender bias (including inequity in pay for equal work)

You may choose to consult with a labor and employment lawyer if you have other employment-related issues:

• Family and Medical Leave Act violations
• Sexual harassment
• Wrongful termination
• Demotion or denial of promotion
• Discriminatory layoff or recall decisions
• Unemployment compensation decisions
• Hostile work environment or retaliation for filing a complaint
• Benefits, health insurance, pensions (ERISA violations)
• Contract negotiations; contract termination disagreements; severance pay disputes

We do not promise an outcome. We promise one-to-one service; a labor and employment lawyer who is very hands-on. My clients get to know me, because I like to provide personal attention in my practice of employment law.

In spite of laws and rules which clearly ban discrimination of any kind in the workplace, it can happen intentionally, or an employer may have policies that effectively discriminate unintentionally. It doesn’t matter in the eyes of the law. A labor and employment lawyer can pursue your right to file a claim. I have experience in filing claims before the EECO; the MSPB – Merit Systems Promotion Board; DOHA – Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals; to seek federal EEO procedural protections. I have served clients before various agency and hearing bodies, and in state and federal court.


I practice as a labor and employment lawyer in Washington DC, Baltimore MD as well as Annapolis, Ellicott City, Upper Marlboro, Glen Burnie, Silver Spring, Bowie, Salisbury, Crofton, Severna Park, and Rockville. The information on this web page regarding possible compensation and results of a legal proceeding do not promise or indicate an outcome in a specific case and are for discussion purposes only.
