Testimonials

Of all my 60 years never in my life did I ever need anyone as much as I needed you in January of 2004.

The mistake I made truly turned my life (as I knew it) inside out, threw me into total helplessness (as far as the legal sustem is concerned and literally made me physically ill from fear (I won't detail that part).

I believe my guardian angel was hovering very close to me when I made the decision to contact you. Your insight, swift decisions, suggestions and demands, along with the ability to persuade me that we could ge tthrough this together plus your special brand of humor can realistically be said to have literally saved my life. Believe me, that was the darkest point in time I have ever experienced and perhaps I would not have come out of it intact were it not for your abilities and your special human qualities.

"Thank You" is just a drop in the huge ocean of indebtedness I feel, now and always. If ever there is any way I can be of assistance to you and/or yours do not hestiate to contact me. Life has a way of thorwing curves when you least expect it.

Once again, Thank You, for every single thing you've done for me!

With Utmost Sincerity and Respect,
DMA

Civil Litigation

Employment Discrimination And Other Employment Related Issues

We represent both employees and employers in work related matters. Employment law is a growing area and many federal, state and local laws and rules affect the employment relationship. We represent both individuals and businesses in litigation. In addition, we advise employers on good business practices to prevent employee dissatisfaction and expense of litigation. We have handled a variety of employment and labor law matters including the following:

  • Drafting, negotiation and review of employment contracts
  • Preparation of employee handbooks and personnel policies
  • Handling of difficult employees, termination
  • Discrimination cases, including but not limited to sex, race, and age discrimination claims
  • Sexual harassment
  • Wrongful termination and discharge
  • Wage and hour claims
  • Contract disputes

Employment litigation can be especially hard on small businesses because of the disruption and cost. We run a small law office, and are sensitive to small business concerns. We work hard to assist small business owners through the litigation process and to counsel the small business owner on good practices.

Our office has experience in trial and appellate courts and in alternative dispute resolution settings. Many employment law cases involve administrative agencies, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and its local counterpart. We understand administrative law and have appeared in administrative tribunals on behalf of both employees and employers
