Civil Rights- Our firm has a premier practice in the area of Civil Rights, which involve fundamental issues of human rights and freedoms. The lawyers in this area represent clients who believe that they have been the victims of police misconduct, sexual harassment, and discrimination - age, disability and illness, national origin, sex, race, and religion - in employment, public accommodation, education, housing, or voting under federal or state law. A significant part of our practice is devoted to employment law and discrimination-related litigation. This practice includes defending and pursuing claims of age discrimination under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act and the Older Workers Benefits Protection Act, claims of disability discrimination brought pursuant to either the Americans with Disabilities Act or the Rehabilitation Act, claims based on gender, race, color, religion and national origin under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, and other discrimination claims brought under various state and local laws.

In addition to discrimination litigation, our employment law practice includes defending and pursuing claims of sexual harassment, unlawful retaliatory business practices, and violations of state or federal "whistle-blower" laws. We also have extensive experience with employment-related issues such as the validity and enforceability of confidentiality agreements and non-compete clauses. In order to help our corporate clients avoid costly and morale-damaging employee claims in the first instance, we also provide a full range of consulting services such as employment practice audits, employment contract drafting and negotiation, and planning for plant closures and reductions in force, including statistical analysis for protected groups and Warn Act compliance.

Construction Law-Whether we are dealing with residential or commercial construction, or are representing owners, general contractors, subcontractors or suppliers, we have extensive experience and success in handling construction law matters. Our services in this area include drafting construction contracts, navigating around the construction lien act, and negotiating amicable solutions to difficult construction disputes. When necessary, we have successfully litigated many construction lien and other development related cases, obtaining numerous victories for our clients, whether in the courtroom or through arbitration.

Employment Law- Employment law covers a complex network of laws that controls how employers must treat employees, former employees, and applicants for employment. Our Employment Law Practice Group has significant experience in interpreting and construing state and Federal statutes and case law in areas such as employment discrimination, affirmative action, sexual harassment, employee benefits, whistleblower litigation, wrongful discharge, employment contracts, the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Family Medical Leave Act, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the Federal Employer's Liability Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and special laws governing municipal employment.

Family Law-Few legal areas are as emotionally charged as family law, primarily for the litigants, but also for the lawyers and judges involved in the cases and even the public at large. In divorce and child custody cases in particular, the adversarial process has increased tensions between the parties that do not abate even when the process is complete. As a result, many states have begun to explore other, non-adversarial alternatives, such as mandatory mediation, which can save time and money and preserve relationships to the extent possible. Mediation and other Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) processes provide an option for those who prefer to stay out of court. ADR provides many potential advantages for most cases, including reduced cost, faster resolution, less emotional stress, the ability to construct solutions that are outside of the authority of the courts.

Our attorneys are well equipped to handle all of your family law needs, including the following areas: adoption, divorce, paternity, child custody, child support, arrearages, criminal non-support cases, visitation, temporary orders, legal separation, premarital agreements, domestic abuse, mediation, arbitration, spousal support, maintenance, modifications, terminations, judgment enforcement, grandparent rights cases, guardianships, and all other financial or marital property-related disputes.

Gaming Law- We have extensive experience in the areas of gaming law. We provide legal advice and representation on real estate, construction, employment, and entertainment law issues including lotteries, pari-mutuel betting, casino gambling, and the state and federal regulations which govern it.

Government Agencies and Programs- Our firm has an entire department of attorneys which represents clients in matters in connection with countless state and federal agencies and programs, such as law enforcement agencies, the Food and Drug Administration, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Medicare and Medicaid, Social Security, and many, many others. We advise clients in situations where action, or inaction, of a government agency or availability of a government program affects or potentially affects them.

Those services include assisting clients in negotiating, performing, interpreting, litigating, and terminating defense, construction, and procurement contracts as well as defending against debarment.
