With over thirty years of legal, business, and military experience I have developed vital insights into the problems faced by individuals and corporations today. Legal problems often reflect a deeper problem in the organization which needs to be addressed. I can often make recommendations that solve the problems or mitigate their effects.

I discovered early in my practice that employment issues are a major problem for businesses and employees. From my experience representing both employees and employers, I have developed procedures that can minimize the impact of employee misconduct and reduce tensions in the workplace. When approached with the right methods, the Civil Rights and other employment laws can aid the manager in getting the best performance from his employees and reducing the exposure to lawsuits.

These insights into employer/employee issues have led me to develop management training programs. These programs focus on how to effectively hire and fire, use employee evaluations to achieve maximum performance, and to investigate discrimination complaints quickly and effectively.
