What can I solve for you?

I specialize in labor, employment and public agency governance matters, but clients often refer to me as their general counsel because they can strategize with me on the full spectrum of legal, operational and political issues. Working in these areas provides me with a unique knowledge and insight into how our clients actually operate, which is critical to successfully navigating collective bargaining.

What's it like to work with me?

Clients know that I am available to them and can answer almost any question in a way they will understand. If clients need strategize on a more complex issue, I will work through the available options so that the client can make an informed decision. In the often adversarial world of labor relations, my approach is to stay rational and focused on finding solutions to the problem, while avoiding some of the emotions that can get the better of one’s judgment. This leads to better outcomes and relationships.
