More About Kevin
Employment litigation is a last resort, but often a necessary challenge for employers. Clients look to Kevin for strategies to avoid litigation at the outset, and when unavoidable, for successful legal solutions to end the dispute.

He has first-chair employment litigation experience at top Am Law firms and a Fortune 500 company. In addition, Kevin has represented management of labor-organized manufacturing, staffing, financial services, health care, telecommunications, and retail companies.
Building on his diverse experience, Kevin partners closely with clients to develop individualized and effective litigation solutions. He has an in-depth knowledge of the business challenges for employers, and a practical understanding to resolve matters with minimal business disruption. Kevin uses his extensive experience in federal and state courts and administrative agencies to find creative ways to win.
