Video Transcript: History Defense Lawyer
For 25 years, I worked as a Defense Lawyer advising companies, businesses, individual managers on employment law and how to comply with the law. And in my work as a Defense Attorney, I was always thinking about it from both the company’s point of view, but also the employee’s point of view. How would I like to be treated? What do I think is fair? What is the right course of action here? And that’s the perspective I bring to Schaefer Halleen and that’s the perspective we take to our cases.
We try to look at it from everybody’s, as many points of view as we can. And using my background as a Defense Attorney, I’m able, hopefully, to help us look at well, what would the employer be thinking? And we try to anticipate the interests and issues that might arise on the employer’s side so that we can address them and be strategic about our approach and solve the problem.
