Brad’s passion is helping employees protect themselves and ensure that employers around the country treat their employees legally and fairly. He appreciates that for many individuals, a job is more than just a way to make a living. A job—and feeling valued after a hard day’s work—provides individuals with a sense of fulfillment, of well-being, and of contributing to something larger than one’s self. Brad recognizes that when employers treat their employees unfairly—when they discriminate against them, harass them, take advantage of them, or retaliate against them—employers cause grievous harm to their employees, both financially and emotionally. His sole professional focus is on helping his individual clients through these incredibly difficult circumstances.

During his career, Brad has been fortunate to work at some of the best law firms in Missouri with some of the brightest and most accomplished attorneys in the area. He has experience in representing his clients, large and small, at every stage of the dispute resolution process—from the first days of a problem or dispute arising, through the filing of a lawsuit, through trial, and through appeal. His strategy is simple—to fight hard for his clients every step of the way, to place himself in his clients’ shoes, and to always focus on what is in the best interests of his client.

Brad’s practice includes representing individuals in employment disputes—in remedying discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and unfair treatment, in assisting whistleblowers, and in advising employees on issues pertaining to non-compete agreements, non-solicit agreements, and trade secret disputes.

If you need help in any of these areas, please call him today at 816-607-4691.
