Harvard Law. 50+ trials. Plaintiff-side today.

From prosecutor, to defense, to plaintiff-side.

My career in the courtroom started in criminal court. After Harvard Law School in 2009, I spent my early years as a prosecutor — taking dozens of cases to verdict, including more than 20 jury trials. That’s where I learned to actually try a case: how to pick a jury, cross a witness, put on a clean direct, and tell a story to twelve strangers in a way they’d remember.

From there I moved to one of the country’s largest corporate-side labor and employment firms, where I spent years defending Fortune 500 companies against discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination, and wage-and-hour claims. I learned the defense playbook cold.

Somewhere in those years, I realized something I didn’t expect: most of the employees suing those companies had real cases. Not all of them, but the ones with real evidence — documents, emails, witnesses, timing — were usually right.

So I left, and started over on the plaintiff side. I represent Michigan employees now — wrongful termination, FMLA retaliation, pregnancy and ADA discrimination, whistleblower claims, age and race discrimination, and non-compete defense — along with federal-court matters in Florida and California where I’m also admitted.

What I won’t do

I won’t take a case just because there’s a fee in it. If your situation doesn’t have the evidence to support a real claim, I’ll tell you so on the first call.

I won’t represent employers against their employees. I did that work for years at a defense firm, and I left it behind for reasons I’m happy to explain on a call.

I won’t promise outcomes. Anyone who does is either lying or new.
