The Experience You Need

For the Future You Seek

  • Thomas & Solomon LLP. From December 2006 through the start of my own law firm, I worked with Thomas & Solomon LLP as an employment litigation associate. While there I litigated complex multi-jurisdictional class and collective actions involving wage and hour claims in state and federal court, as well as handling related arbitrations and mediations. Specifically, I served as counsel of record for employees in employment class action lawsuits involving the Fair Labor Standards Act and various state wage and hour laws.
  • Phillips Lytle LLP. When I first relocated to my hometown of Rochester, New York in 2005, I began working as an employment law associate with Phillips Lytle LLP. There I counseled employers and human resource professionals on a full range of workplace laws, and discovered my passion was really for representing employees in these matters.
  • Raab Sturm & Goldman LLP. Upon graduation from law school in 2002, I commenced my legal career working for three years as a labor law litigation associate at Raab Sturm & Goldman LLP in Manhattan, where I predominately worked on labor law and ERISA cases involving collective bargaining agreements governing the building service industry in the tri-state region.
