Overview

MONICA IS AN ATTENTIVE ATTORNEY WHO INVESTIGATES, LITIGATES, AND ADVISES ON EMPLOYMENT MATTERS FOR CLIENTS AS DIVERSE AS THE ISSUES THEY FACE.

Having focused on public health in her education before becoming an attorney, Monica is a firm believer in upstream prevention.  She is a skilled employment investigator, and she enjoys working with and advising clients to mitigate potential future disputes.  When disputes do arise, Monica blends strong attention to detail with a commitment to broadly understanding each client’s unique needs to assist them at every stage of litigation before federal and state courts, administrative agencies, and other regulatory organizations.  Her practice touches employment issues involving harassment, discrimination, retaliation, wage and hour, competition, and collective bargaining.

Although she is focused primarily on employment matters, Monica also has secured favorable results for clients in labor-arbitration, commercial-litigation, and products-liability cases.

Monica’s active pro bono practice centers on supporting students attending high school while pregnant or with young children. While in law school, Monica earned top pro bono distinction for her medical-legal partnership work with patients at federally qualified health centers, as well as for her immigration work with women and children detained at the U.S.-Mexico border.
