I represented New York City, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) Chief against DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano’s Chief of Staff in a sexual harassment case which was covered by NBC, CNN, Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post. The case resulted in the Chief of Staff resigning and a $175,000 settlement without Mr. Hayes being forced to resign.

I represented my client Michael Keegan before the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. Mr. Keegan’s testimony pertained to the Social Security Administration misleading Congress as to the need for $500 million to replace the National Computer Center—when no such outlay was needed and the actual building was never replaced. The case made national news as well.

We represented Senior Immigration and Enforcement Agent Taylor Johnson, who reported extensive abuse of the EB-5 USCIS Immigrant Investor Program regarding the refurbishing of a Las Vegas casino headed by an investor group represented by Rory Reid, Esq., son of U.S. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV). Ms. Johnson testified before the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs regarding her whistleblower matter. The matter was resolved to the satisfaction of the parties.

Represented a GSA employee with multiple disabilities—including severe ADHD and autism—who was denied a job coach as a reasonable accommodation. After two prior losses at EEOC and MSPB, we defended four expert witnesses and defeated two government Summary Judgment motions, resulting in a favorable settlement.

Prevailed on Summary Judgment in a wrongful-termination case due to disability and failure to grant a reasonable accommodation.

Prevailed on an MSPB decision mitigating a termination to a 21-day suspension and reversing a “lack of candor” charge.

Represented a high-performing communications officer placed on an “Opportunity to Demonstrate Acceptable Performance” (EPA’s PIP) after complaining of gender discrimination. The Board found Title VII discrimination and retaliation, ruling that he never should have been put on ODAP.

Lauren was subjected to sexual harassment and discrimination during her tenure at AltSol. When her prior counsel withdrew, we took the case, defended against a motion to dismiss and sanctions, and negotiated a favorable settlement—addressing her financial concerns and delivering justice.

We represented the defendant in a three-day jury trial on a retaliation claim. The jury returned a full defendant’s verdict, finding valid reasons for removing telework unrelated to EEOC claims.

Won a four-and-a-half-day jury trial defending against sexual harassment and gender discrimination charges, securing a defendant’s verdict after just 90 minutes of deliberation.

Currently representing Genesis Construction Management Group, LLC in a sexual harassment matter in Prince George’s County Circuit Court.
