As an employer one of your major concerns is the varying workplace regulations at the state and local level. The tracking, complying, training and updating procedures takes up a significant amount of your company’s time and resources.
Unfortunately, there is no evidence that policies, procedures, and approaches—which often focus on symbolic compliance with the law and on avoiding liability—result in a significant reduction in workplace conflict.
I believe that it is necessary to move beyond basic legal compliance to adopt policies and practices to address and prevent workplace conflicts and to promote a culture of civility and respect
My office provides small and midsized businesses (profit and non-profit) with the professional services of an experienced employment law attorney whose focus is on developing a culture of health (‘civility and respect”) at the workplace with an emphasis on the prevention, as opposed to the litigation, of employment disputes.
I am results oriented, highly effective, with over 40 years' experience (representing employers and employees) handling complex workplace disputes including: internal investigations; violations of the FMLA and FLSA; discrimination claims based on age, race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, national origin, sexual harassment; retaliation; and, wrongful termination.
I have a demonstrated record of exercising strong analytical and solution finding skills. I utilize including, interviewing, investigation, in-depth analysis, issue identification, research, and needs analysis to establish the basis of my evaluation of your business.
I have exceptional interpersonal and problem-solving skills with particular ability to handle sensitive issues in a positive and professional manner.
Of course I maintain the strictest levels of confidentiality, exercise of sound judgment and high ethical standards.
My ability to communicate patiently and effectively with a diverse range of people across varied situations enables me to provide quality service at reasonable rates.
My practice is limited to offered located within Sonoma County, California.
Contact me for a free, initial consultation, at your place of business.
