About
I help New Jersey employers and professionals navigate workplace issues, contract disputes, and compliance risks — before they escalate.
My work focuses on:
• Employment and workplace issues (discipline, termination, internal disputes)
• Contract review and risk assessment
• Compliance and pre-litigation strategy
This is not contingency litigation — it is focused, paid legal guidance designed to give you clarity, leverage, and next steps.
If you’ve received a formal notice, are dealing with a workplace issue, or need to understand your position before taking action, I offer structured strategy sessions to assess your situation and outline a clear path forward.

Hired on Thumbtack
The project per original agreement included a fixed fee and a 1.5 hour consulting and a summary. I was informed after the work is done that extra fee for 1.5 hour will be charged just for the summary, which was never agreed upon before. I am hesitating how to understand this ask of additional payment without prior agreement.

Hired on Thumbtack
Kwame reached out super quickly and was up and eager to provide counsel. Eventually we didn't need his legal services, but since he was so pleasant we will be in touch for future needs!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I work on a fixed-fee basis for defined scopes of work.
This allows clients to understand costs upfront—especially important during audits or time-sensitive matters. No legal advice is provided until an engagement is confirmed.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First, I clarify what stage you are in—notice received, questionnaire pending, or assessment issued.
If it’s a fit, we schedule a short strategy review focused on what to avoid and how to contain risk before responding to the State. Formal representation begins only after engagement and payment.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a graduate of Columbia Law School and the London School of Economics, with prior experience advising financial institutions and businesses on regulatory and compliance matters.
My practice focuses on complex employment and classification issues at the intersection of law, operations, and risk.
