Lenox, Massachusetts
Employment Law Attorney

25 Years of Experience in State and Federal Courts

In twenty-five years as an employment law attorney, I have represented approximately 1,000 workers, including professionals, educators, retail employees, and union members, in claims regarding violations of state and federal civil rights and employment laws.

If you think you have been treated unfairly and would like to discuss a possible claim under employment law, contact me to make arrangements for a free initial consultation at my office in Lenox, Massachusetts. As an employment lawyer, it is my job to determine whether the unfair treatment you have experienced violates a law and, if so, help you recover compensation for your loss through the appropriate claim.

As a trial lawyer, I have successfully litigated:

• every kind of discrimination prohibited by law
• employment-related claims of retaliation
• breach of contract
• public policy wrongful discharge
• breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing
• promissory estoppel
• quantum meruit
• fraud
• defamation
• false imprisonment
• outrageous conduct
• intentional infliction of emotional distress
• tortious interference with contract
• wage claims
• several other federal statutory claims

In recent years, age discrimination – where workers forty years of age or older lose out because a younger person is given preference – has been the claim I have most commonly litigated, followed by claims of retaliation against employees who make discrimination complaints or who have been injured on the job and have filed for benefits under Workers’ Compensation.

Before I began practicing as an employment law attorney in Lenox, Massachusetts, I served as a flight instructor in the Air Force; taught school in Africa; earned a doctorate in cultural anthropology; and taught at Penn State University. Based on my background, I have often represented teachers and professors in employment claims.

I practice in Lenox, Massachusetts. Call or e-mail me to make an appointment. I do provide a free initial consultation, and at that time I will be happy to discuss the projected cost of legal representation in your employment law case.
