Why did you join Payne & Fears LLP?
I joined Payne and Fears to grow as an employment litigator and to provide exceptional legal services to my clients.
People would be surprised if they knew . . .
I spent high school in Pennsylvania, where I worked in a factory packing ice cream cones. I can make a mean pierogi from scratch. When I am not in the office, you can find me hanging out with my zoo of two dogs, three cats, and four chickens.
