EEOC v. Morgan Stanley

My Legal Practice
I represent people seeking to recover unpaid wages, challenge exploitative employment practices, and assert their rights in the face of retaliation and discrimination.
Throughout my career, I have remained steadfast in my commitment to help people challenge institutions where power is unevenly distributed and legal protections are routinely ignored.
I focus on building clear, grounded, and persuasive cases. Many of the matters I handle involve incomplete or inconsistent records, and I work carefully with clients to piece together what happened and present it in a way that can withstand scrutiny in litigation and negotiation. I also support groups of workers pursuing claims together, with an emphasis on developing strong, cohesive narratives.
From early investigation through resolution, my practice is dedicated to transforming my clients’ experiences into claims that carry weight and can meaningfully shift the balance of power in the workplace.
Notable Cases
- Supported the organizing, advocacy, and legal efforts of workers in construction, domestic work, building services, airports, and across the food & beverage industry in New York City; nursing homes, home care, and federally qualified health centers throughout the tristate area; seafood processing plants in New England; and grocery stores and Amazon warehouses across the country.

My Story
Born in Seoul, raised by Castaic, and based in Brooklyn, I am privileged to have experienced a broad swath of neighborhoods and cultural environments. I have seen first and secondhand how the convoluted web of economic pressures and injustices stemming from the workplace can destabilize and cascade working people’s situations into precarity.
It is never lost on me that these structural flaws are those that underlie the struggles endured by the communities that raised me. I regard those with parallel experiences grappling with unjust systems, whether they are from different neighborhoods or different continents, as part of my extended family, and I channel this energy to fuel my vigor.
In my free time, I enjoy cooking, biking, sitting outside, and collapsing the mind-body dichotomy.
