- I am a civil litigator, specializing in federal and state labor and employment law in New Jersey and New York. I represent private and public entities and individual employees in matters involving claims of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation as well as wage and hour disputes and unemployment benefits appeals. I have appeared before state and federal agencies, including the Division on Civil Rights ("DCR") and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") and participated in mediation and alternative dispute resolution to amicably resolve matters. I conduct internal investigations and assist employers in taking appropriate disciplinary action, if necessary. I offer guidance to employers and employees regarding leaves of absence, such as maternity or disability- related leaves. I offer on-site and virtual anti-discrimination and anti-harassment training and assist employers in implementing compliant employment policies and best practices in the workplace.
