EEOC v. Morgan Stanley
My Legal Practice
I frequently work with individuals who are facing discrimination, or retaliation for raising concerns at work.
Sometimes they speak up about fraud and regulatory violations, other times it’s about self-advocacy in the face of mistreatment or not being paid fairly.
But no matter what the situation, I strive to achieve the best outcome for my clients while providing objective, transparent, and levelheaded advice that’s based on my extensive experience in the field.
Going up against an employer can be very stressful. In the end, I think my approach supports my clients through their journey, and gives them the confidence and clarity they need in an uncertain time.

My Story
Growing up in Belarus, I was a young chessmaster.
In the chess world, no one cares what you look like or where you’re from. What matters is what you do on the board. I believe my clients should be afforded the same respect at work.
Just like in chess, the American justice system is designed so underdogs can prevail against a much more powerful opponent. That idea inspired me to go to law school in New York. I knew I wanted to pursue litigation and help people level the playing field, even when the system is highly skewed towards big corporations.
I didn’t have to wait long for an opportunity to prove myself in action. Two years out of law school, while still a junior associate at a litigation firm, I served as a lead counsel in a racial discrimination case against a major hotel chain. The case went all the way to trial, and after my cross-examination of the key manager revealed his bias, we won. This early success inspired me to continue helping employees use the law to take back their power.
