Employment Litigation

Workplace disputes are stressful and personal. As an employment litigation attorney based in Everett, I represent employees who need clear guidance and firm advocacy when their job, income, or reputation is on the line.

I handle discrimination claims involving race, gender, age, disability, and other protected characteristics under Massachusetts and federal law. That often includes reviewing emails, performance reviews, witness accounts, and policy documents to determine whether the facts support an actionable claim and what administrative steps (such as MCAD or EEOC filings) are required.

I also represent individuals in wrongful termination cases where the firing may violate anti-discrimination rules, retaliation prohibitions, public policy, or contractual rights. Employment contract disputes are another focus, including claims over noncompetition and nonsolicitation agreements, bonus or commission plans, and severance packages.

For wage and hour claims, I analyze pay records, timesheets, and employer policies to identify unpaid overtime, off-the-clock work, misclassification, or missed meal and rest breaks under Massachusetts statutes. I explain in straightforward terms how damages, treble damages, and attorney-fee provisions may apply.

Many employment matters resolve short of trial. I provide mediation and settlement services, preparing thoroughly for negotiations so you go into the room with a clear understanding of strengths, weaknesses, and realistic outcomes. When resolution is not possible, I litigate the case in court, from filing through discovery, motions, and trial, keeping you informed at every step.

You speak directly with me, not a rotating cast of case managers, and I explain each decision in plain English so you stay in control of your case.
