We Fight for Workers' Rights, Civil Rights and the Rights of Injury Victims
Whether you are an employee wrongfully deprived of overtime pay and seeking recovery, or have been subjected to harassment or discrimination, you will likely find the experience confusing, tedious and emotionally stressful.
Our firm's primary focus is on protecting the rights of employees throughout New Jersey. No one deserves to suffer from an abusive and hostile work environment. We will file claims against your employer to get you the compensation you deserve. We’ll fight anyone, anywhere, any time, including the largest corporations, and public employers. As experienced Cherry Hill New Jersey Labor & Employment Attorneys, we concentrate exclusively in all aspects of State and Federal Labor Law issues, including:
- Employment Laws
- Workplace & Sexual Harassment

There aren't many employment lawyers in New Jersey; it's a tough field, because so many employers use scorched earth tactics, and try to paper a plaintiff to death. Of those there are, not many will handle the variety and complexity of cases we will, because, frankly, it's scary for them. Not many firms have our resources. Not many have our experience. And not many have our will, and our tenacity.
As trusted Cherry Hill New Jersey Labor and Employment Attorneys, we believe strongly in the rights of the person, not of the corporation or of the government. It's our mantra and our mission.
In the legal community, we are recognized as a team of aggressive and hard-hitting litigation experts, noted for our preparation, attention to detail and zealous advocacy on behalf of clients. Our firm regularly appears before the trial and appellate courts of the States of New Jersey, before various Administrative Law tribunals, the U.S. District Courts and the U.S. Courts of Appeal.
Kevin and his partner Deborah Mains, former union trial counsel, are passionate about workers' rights, taking on the state and federal governments, Fortune 500 and Fortune 100 companies, and other employers, all over the state of New Jersey.
The firm's attorneys teach employment trial law for several organizations, have been published in their field, and are tireless in advocating for you, and for the laws which protect you, at the state and national levels.
