About

     I am the head of  Bleakley Platt's  Labor and Employment and Immigration Practice Groups. I have over 35 years' experience in representing and advising Fortune 500 companies and other corporate clients with respect to labor, employment and immigration law including my 14 years of experience at Skadden Arps, and more than 6 years of experience at Jackson Lewis.      I advise  clients on all aspects of labor and employment law including employment terminations and discipline, reductions-in-force, personnel policies and practices, employee benefit cases, and collective bargaining negotiations. I have acted as lead counsel on significant employment discrimination law cases, wage and hour cases and collective actions, non-competition cases, and arbitration proceedings.      I also advise corporations, business executives, and professional employees with respect to immigrant visa (green cards) applications, U.S. citizenship applications, nonimmigrant work visa petitions, and employment verification and discrimination issues.      My articles on labor and employment law include my  seminal work on the employment-at-will rule entitled, "The Effect of the Employment-at-Will Rule on Employee Rights to Job Security and Fringe Benefits," 10 Fordham Urb. L.J. 1 (1981), which has been cited by the New York Court of Appeals in the landmark decisions of Murphy v. American Home Products Corp. and Weiner v. McGraw-Hill, Inc. and by other federal and state courts. I have also been a featured lecturer at various labor and employment law seminars.

Joe has worked with my company for over 5 years and he has been quite successful in litigation for us. He has kept me as the HR Director abreast of all changes that effect me in my role with the company. He is extremely knowledgeable and thorough in addressing all issues that have arisen.

I knew I had excellent legal representation within minutes of my first meeting with Joe. He understood the issue, took the time to listen to my side of the story and told me he would get back to me with a strategy to move forward once he did more research. The legal appeal took months and I was quite pleased with the regular updates that I received on how the case was moving forward. I knew that no matter the outcome of the case, I could accept it because I had the best counsel possible. That said Joe knew how to win the case and win we did! I am grateful that there are attorneys like Joe, who care about the people he represents.

Joe has been a true professional helping our private school with labor issues. He advised us on the consequences of taking certain courses of action and helped guide us to the proper path. With his help we are at the successful end of a long journey that would not have been possible without his calm, confident demeanor.
