Gerald was very helpful in a case involving the budding sub-field of scientific integrity at federal agencies. My agency was intimidating me for publishing an academic journal article that our scientific integrity policy allowed (at least on paper). With Gerald's help the intimidation stopped. I would recommend his services in this area if you ever are in a similar situation.

Even as a student at one of the nation's top law schools, Gerald showed exceptional initiative, for example, by founding one of the school's law journals. He was well-respected by students and teachers alike. In addition, his background as a teacher prior to becoming a lawyer helps him bring a common-sense approach to the practice of law that enables him to break down complex legal issues in a way that people can understand and makes him a pleasure to work with. I do not hesitate to send client referrals his way.

I am an employment, whistleblower, and discrimination law attorney whose backgound includes nationwide representation of Federal employees facing workplace discrimination and unwarranted adverse action, as Staff Counsel for the American Federation of Government Employees, AFL-CIO. I have served as Of Counsel in the employment law and government contracts departments of three prominent Washington law firms, and most recently, as the founder of a small plaintiff's law firm defending and protecting employees against discrimination, retaliation, and adverse actions.
My subject matter expertise includes extensive practice before federal courts, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board, and U.S. Office of Special Counsel, and also expert-level knowledge about employment and labor relations law, adverse and performance based actions, alleged discrimination and whistleblower reprisal, security clearance revocations, competitive and non-competitive promotions, suitability determinations, background investigations, probationary periods, pay and benefits, worker's compensation, hours of duty and time and attendance, performance assessment and deficiencies, and disability retirement, and removal, standards of conduct, and investigations.

I began my legal career as an associate with Grayson & Kubli, P.C., the only law firm to successfully take to trial companies profiting illegally from the Iraq postwar reconstruction.
I enjoy being a manager, a coach, and a mentor to law students and to new attorneys in this field. I really enjoy spending time with my family and attending my childrens' basketball games and soccer matches.
