Counseling Around Discipline At Work

If you are under investigation or facing discipline for alleged performance or conduct issues, you may need legal advice on how to respond to a notice of administrative investigation, a performance improvement plan, or some other form of progressive discipline being imposed on you. I can provide the legal guidance and support you need during this difficult process.

02

Severance Agreement or Other Contract Review

You have been laid off and presented with a severance agreement. Or you have been presented with an agreement to separate from your employment for other reasons. Either way, you want to understand the provisions of the agreement and whether/how you can negotiate more favorable terms. I can help you understand the proposed terms and conditions and determine whether further discussion or negotiation is needed.

03

Legal Action for Wrongful Termination or Forced Resignation

 If you have been wrongfully terminated from your job, or the conditions were so bad at work that you felt that you had no choice but to resign, I can educate you on what your rights are, whether legal action, like filing a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department or a lawsuit, is necessary, and whether you can be compensated or obtain other relief for the harm that you have suffered. My role is to help you navigate this adversarial process with more knowledge and confidence, all while fiercely advocating for you and your best interests.

04

Ongoing Support
and Guidance

Whether you advocate for yourself and stay in your role or separate from your employer, recovering from the experience can take some time. I can provide you ongoing support and guidance to get through it and confidently navigate the steps ahead.
