About

- At P&A, we only represent employees, never management or insurance companies
- My vision for practicing law is clear: deliver peace of mind to clients by resolving their employment related issue
- This is not a "9-to-5" for me

- My expertise spans every phase of an employment matter's life cycle from pre-lawsuit strategy through litigation and trial
- I have a strong and credible reputation in Court such that I receive deference and respect from peers, judges and arbitrators, and adversaries (one of the biggest compliments a lawyer can receive)
- I take seriously that potential clients often contact me during stressful and uncertain moments in their lives, often with their livelihood or career at stake
- Using my expert legal knowledge, deep experience litigating many cases through trial, and practical guidance, I present options that give you control over the outcome of your matter

- My approach toward employers dovetails tactical aggressiveness with controlled precision
- I use my litigation skills to leverage early resolution opportunities for clients to decide how and when to resolve their matter
- While a quick and quiet resolution often makes sense, when litigation is necessary to meet a client's goals, I "burn the boats"
- I know the entire defense playbook and can guide you through every stage of your employment related situation
- I have achieved over $28m+in for my clients including many seven figure and six figure resolutions
- I am a former college lacrosse player, a loving husband and father to a young daughter, and aspire to be a role model and mentor to future generations
