Attorney and Counselor
at Law                                         

Welcome to my website.  I have practiced law for 23 years, specializing in employment law, family law,
lesbian, gay and bisexual legal issues, civil rights and criminal law. I am showcasing the First Amendment
to the United States Constitution on my homepage because it is the centerpiece of my work and bedrock
of our democracy.

During the past 14 years, I have given speeches about the legal and social issues that relate to my law
practice. In addition, I have conducted training sessions to help organizations effectively address sexual
orientation issues in the workplace. I am currently writing a book that explores the compelling and
heart-wrenching journey of a gay high school music teacher. I am also conducting research about the
experiences of LGBT teachers and students.

Please explore my website to obtain additional information about my legal services, book, speaking and
training services. If you are a LGBT teacher or student, please send me an e-mail if you are willing to be
interviewed about your experiences.  This website will also take you to my blog. I invite you to read it
and write back with your thoughts, additional information or questions.
