Biography

Most lawyers like to talk about themselves. But, I’d rather listen. I listen so that I may understand your needs, communicate effectively, and be of service to you and your business.

The way in which my clients and I communicate transcends most other attorney-client relationships. I’m not just a lawyer; I am a business partner and counselor whose primary goal is to foster a lasting relationship, where together we may call upon my many years of experience to add value to your business.

This experience runs deep. I have litigated and tried many cases to verdict and argued before various courts of appeal, including the Third Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. For my zealous advocacy in the courtroom for the past 20 years, I am also recognized as a top New Jersey litigator and the New Jersey Law Journal has recognized me as one of the “New Leaders of the Bar.” In 2019, I was recognized by my peers in the 26th Edition of The Best Lawyers in America for high caliber work in the practice area of Litigation – Labor & Employment and Professional Liability. Most recently, I was selected to be included in a short list of the most respected professionals in our area–South Jersey Biz’s Women to Watch for 2020.

I have earned a bulldog reputation for my representation of professionals, including lawyers, accountants, bankers, design professionals, insurance agents/brokers, directors and officers and fiduciaries. In addition, I am also a recognized leader of the bar in the area of Labor and Employment Law. I routinely litigate labor and employment matters in state and federal courts, state and federal civil rights charges, counsel businesses through OSHA investigations, as well as provide counseling to employers of all sizes on employment best practices, implementing employee handbooks, policies and procedures that are tailored to maximize managerial flexibility and control. The remaining portion of my practice is dedicated to counseling and defending non-profit entities such as homeowners’ associations and faith-based organizations.
