Biography

You’ve been injured, harassed, and your complaints have been ignored by a negligent employer. As a result, you can no longer work–or are struggling to find a new job. Monetary compensation can’t reverse the hardship that brings you to an attorney, but it allows you to support yourself and your family through adverse physical and emotional circumstances. You don’t have to suffer alone.
