Services
Most workplace problems don't start as legal problems.
They start as a bad meeting. A shifting target. A manager who's stopped meeting your eye. By the time there's a document to sign, the decisions that mattered have already been made.
You know something's wrong at work. You're not ready to quit. You may not want to. But you're making choices every week about what to put in writing, what to say in the one-on-one, whether to sign the thing they sent you. And you're making them alone, at the exact moment your judgment is worst.
I spent fifteen years in employment law. I've seen how these situations unfold from the inside, and I know which moves protect you and which ones quietly cost you leverage. I'm not here to talk you into leaving or convince you to stay. I'm here so you stop guessing.
Two Ways I Work:
Most of what I do isn't legal work. It's helping you see the situation clearly and decide what to do, before anything becomes a legal matter.
Coaching and strategy is available anywhere. Ongoing support as you navigate a bad manager, a PIP, a negotiation, or a decision about whether to stay.
Legal review is available in New York only. Sometimes it does become a legal question. A severance agreement lands, and you're being asked to sign away rights you can't get back. If you're in New York, I can review it as your attorney, flat fee. [See NY severance review →]

How I Help
-
Before you resign: understand what you're giving up and what you can ask for.
-
When your manager has turned: read the situation accurately and respond without escalating.
-
On a PIP or heading toward one: know what the document actually means and what your options are.
-
When you're asked to sign something: understand it before it's binding.
-
When you want more: a raise, a title, different conditions, and a way to ask that lands.
-
When you're just stuck: talk it through with someone who isn't your partner, your friend, or your coworker.

Ongoing Support
For situations that don't resolve in one conversation.
Eight hours of my time, drawn down as you need it.
I communicate how you do: calls, email, text, reviewing what they sent you, rehearsing the conversation before you walk in. No monthly commitment, no expiration pressure. You see exactly what's been used.
Most people use it heaviest in the first few weeks, then taper as things stabilize. If you don't use the time, I return the unused portion.
$2,000 for eight hours ($250/hour. My standard rate is $300/hour)
Top-up blocks available at the same rate.
Straight hourly is available at $300/hour. Nonprofit and public-interest rates: $250/hour, or $1,600 for the eight-hour block.
Need a document looked at without the strategy? Ask. I do that too.
For Employers
How your company handles a PIP, a layoff, or an exit shapes the organization long after the employee is gone.
I work with small and mid-size organizations to build transition processes that are clear, fair, and defensible — because treating departing people well isn't just decent, it's good business.
