About
One of the most traumatic things you'll ever go through is getting fired, and the stress is even worse if you have a wrongful termination case. I work to help you through this tough time. My employment practice focuses on representing employees, including executives and partners, in all areas of employment law, from contract and severance negotiations for senior-level executives to protecting employee rights in discrimination and retaliation lawsuits under both federal and state law, non-compete agreements and wrongful termination claims. For nearly 20 years, I represented employers in employment cases and I understand how employers evaluate these types of claims and am able to represent employees from a position of strength because of that knowledge.In addition, I believe that the relationship between clients and their lawyers is a partnership where both parties collaborate to achieve the best result and that requires honest and frequent communication about each matter. Clients also deserve a lawyer that’s easily reachable. All of my clients have my cell phone number and know they can call anytime, including before and after “business hours.” I also return emails and telephone calls as close to immediately as possible. While litigation is always stressful, I find that consistent communication can help control that stress. As to the substance of the law, I have litigated, in both state and federal courts, employment cases on behalf of both employers and employees regarding non-compete, non-solicitation and other contractual provisions. I have also represented clients in matters pertaining to franchise agreements and have defended small and medium-sized businesses against discrimination claims and other workplace allegations. I have also litigated many general business disputes on behalf of corporate clients.

I contacted Michael DeWitt about a contract I felt was illegal. Michael DeWitt was very attentive and listened to everything I had to say. Michael DeWitt then informed me how the law would see things, and his legal knowledge was astounding. After two consultations I decided to hire Michael DeWitt. He is not like the typical attorney gets the money and then disappears. Thru the whole process Michael DeWitt always called when promised and returned my calls promptly. To say I would highly recommend Michael DeWitt would be an understatement. If you are looking for an attorney you should choose Michael DeWitt for the job.
Mike is a great man to work with. He was easy to get a hold of, always followed up to an email or a phone call, and got done the things he said he would get done. He works hard for his clients and he gives great advise to help your case move the way you want it to.
I have a tricky employment case, and it simply NEEDS a true expert in the field. After a few mediocre consults with other firms in the area, Michael really stood out- and showed me (right away!) that he was dependable. I did ultimately retain Mr. DeWitt and his firm to assist me in this matter, and I can say only good things. I am glad I gave him a call, you will be too! Justin
