Questions & Answers

How did you build a successful practice?

My practice has been built by word of mouth based on knowledge of the law, hard work, attentiveness and responsiveness of our staff, avoiding litigation where possible but willing to litigate when necessary, and an individualized, practical, problem-solving, result-oriented approach to our client's problems.

What should clients look for in a lawyer?

Clients should look for an experienced Board-certified specialist. I am proud to have been within the initial group of attorneys certified by The Florida Bar as specialists in labor and employment law.

What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?

We will identify potential claims or defenses, statutes of limitations, and legal mechanisms applicable to the client's problem. We will provide an overview of applicable law and explain the reasons for our advice and opinions in that context.

What information do you need in a free phone consultation?

We will determine all information needed to advise the client based on the particular problem and objectives for resolution.

What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?

Specialized knowledge, experience, and recognition as an expert by other lawyers. I am honored to be AV-rated by Martindale Hubbell, and recognized as a ""top lawyer"" in Best Lawyers in America, Florida Super Lawyers, Wall Street Journal, Florida Trend, Orlando Magazine, Orlando Business Journal, and other publications, including as Central Florida Lawyer of the Year in Labor and Employment in the May, 2014 issue of Orlando Magazine. I am also admitted to practice in all Florida state and federal trial and appellate courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?

I am most gratified when other attorneys refer their clients, family and friends to me if they cannot help.
