My practice involves all aspects of labor and employment law, including collective bargaining, grievance arbitrations, unfair labor practice proceedings, representation proceedings, wage-and-hour matters, employee handbooks and personnel policies, teacher tenure act proceedings, and hearings before state and federal administrative agencies and courts. I only represent employers.

The majority of my practice focuses on the representation of private sector entities, including a large number of health care and manufacturing clients, in traditional labor relations and general personnel matters. However, I also represent several public entities as well. In addition, I frequently present on a variety of labor and employment topics and provide in-house training for several organizations.

Specialties: Union relations, union election campaign assistance, decertification election assistance, collective bargaining, grievance arbitrations, unfair labor practice proceedings, representation proceedings, wage-and-hour matters, employee handbooks and personnel policies, teacher tenure act proceedings, counsel on general employment questions (including NLRA, ADA, FMLA, FLSA, and other general employment matters) and hearings before state and federal administrative agencies and courts.

I am admitted to practice in the states of Illinois and Michigan and before the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
