I am an experienced employment attorney and Human Resources professional with over 13 years of practice. I have a JD from the University of San Francisco School of Law and am bar certified in the state of CA. I am also a recognized mediator, trained in CA. I have experience advising individuals and companies under federal and state law as well as regulations from and investigations through the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and DFEH. I train employees and managers on employment and human resource best practices, including CA AB 1825 sexual harassment training. I have extensive experience offering advice and suggestions to employees on all types of workplace issues including counseling and support through periods of transition (performance improvement situations, resignations, terminations, lay-offs and RIF's.)

I will offer a brief consultancy suggestion on how to approach any workplace issue for $25.00. Please bear in mind that while I may address legal topics I am not providing legal advice or acting in any attorney/client capacity.

Appropriate topics include things like:

• What can I do about an unfair performance review?

• I have a direct report who undermines my authority in team meetings, what can I do?

• My cubicle-mate is spreading rumors about me, can I complain?

• I am being laid-off, do I have any options?

• How can I “wow” at a job interview?

• How can I write a career growth/employee development plan?

Arrangements can be made for on-going support, counseling or coaching. And I am always ready to offer a referral to an experienced litigation attorney upon request.
