The right kind of EXPERIENCE
TOUGH representation
PASSIONATE about his clients
Your Employment Lawyer Should Have The Right EXPERIENCE.
For over twenty-four years, Rob has practiced Employment Law almost exclusively. Before opening his own law firm representing employees, he defended some of the largest employers in the United States for over thirteen years. Rob now uses the experience he obtained while defending corporate employers to help the little guy stand up for his or her employment rights. Rob knows this tricky area of the law and has the practical experience on both sides to back it up. He has argued and tried cases in federal and state courts in Georgia and the rest of the Country.
Your Employment Lawyer Should Be TOUGH
When your employer gives you the axe, you don’t strike back with a pillow. You need a hard-nosed, tough-minded, and aggressive employment lawyer who will fight hard for you to regain your dignity. Flinching or backing down is not Rob’s style. He is built for a bare-knuckled fight.
While ready to fight, Rob is always vigilant for opportunities to resolve a case short of trial when it can be done on favorable terms. Some cases however, cannot, or should not, be settled. Rob embraces the opportunity to make the case for your employment rights to a judge or jury. Litigation comes naturally to Rob. Whether state or federal trial, appellate, or alternative dispute resolution forums, Rob delivers the tough and zealous advocacy your case deserves.
Rob only takes the cases of clients he cares about. Without that passion, how could we expect to convince a jury that you deserve to win (or your employer to write a settlement check before we take it that far). We treat our clients as if the employment actions taken against them were taken against a member of our own family.

By a 9-2 vote, the full appeals court declined…

No, not in Georgia. Under Georgia law, it is illegal to fire an employee because of his or her absence from work due to jury service or for responding to a subpoena. Georgia’s statute, O.C.G.A. § 34-1-3 states, “it shall be unlawful for any employer … to discharge, discipline, or otherwise penalize an employee because the…
