In each and every situation, the goal is to preserve independence and dignity.

Employment Law
The ability to earn and maintain an income is one of our most basic rights.
Ranging everywhere from executive compensation through contracts or severance packages through wrongful termination, discrimination or harassment, employment law focuses upon preserving the employment relationship or obtaining damages when rights are violated. Whether an owner, partner, employee or independent contractor, all persons are entitled to protection from abuse, discrimination, harassment or retaliation. Creative strategies can also be utilized to transition to retirement or for family protection.
