I then launched my career in the public sector as a law clerk for the Hon. Ronald P. Wertheim. After my clerkship, I entered the United States Department of Justice through its honors program, with responsibility for defending the government against million dollar lawsuits involving claims of environmental exposure to toxic substances.
In private practice at a large Philadelphia law firm, I handled ERISA and employment matters on behalf of clients such as Mack Trucks, Continental Bank, MidLantic Bank, PECO and the City of Reading. These assignments provided me with a broad based exposure to employment issues in both the private and public sectors.
