Besides Employment Law, I work hard to help you get the best possible results in the following practice areas:

Legal Malpractice Defense: If you are an attorney in the Virginia area who has been accused of legal malpractice or professional misconduct, hire a legal malpractice defense attorney who works to protect you, your firm and your reputation.
Legal Malpractice: When you hire an attorney, you expect that he or she will act with professional conduct and integrity. If your lawyer does not uphold these obligations, you need to hire a legal malpractice attorney to protect your rights.

Fighting Debt Collections: Whether you owe a debt you are unable to pay or are being mistakenly targeted by collection agencies, you do not deserve to abused by a creditor or collection agency.
