I draft wills, health care proxies and durable powers of attorney for people.In a medicinal marijuana case on behalf of the employee I obtained:- a secure employment offer which transpired to a salaried full time position;- no disciplinary action as a result of the use of medicinal marijuana by the employee;- an agreement pertaining to the use of medicinal marijuana off duty immediately preceding work and at work.In a sexual harassment case on behalf of the victim I secured:- compensatory damages in an amount that surpassed plaintiff's annual salary;- punitive damages;- emotional distress damages;- the harasser removed and transferred from the division where plaintiff is employed;- sexual harassment training for all employees- apology from the harasser to the plaintiff
