Hello.

The opportunity to work free of discrimination and harassment and the ability to earn a decent wage are key to getting ahead. As an employee advocate, I take pride in defending the rights that are intended to protect workers, promote equal opportunity, and help people access the American dream. As employer's counsel, I enjoy helping create workplaces and establish policies that bring out the best in employees and allow ventures to thrive.

I am the principal of Dolce Law PLLC, a practice focused on representing workers in employment matters and advising employers on compliance with federal, state, and local employment laws. Prior to starting my law practice, I worked for large law firms both as a transactional attorney and a litigation attorney. I have experience representing both employees and management in employment matters. I have also litigated at non-profit organizations on behalf of low-income New Yorkers, including immigrant survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. I had the opportunity to work as a Human Rights Officer with the United Nations Mission in the Republic of South Sudan, the world's newest country. I returned home to defend the human rights of working people in New York and to help employers create positive and productive workplaces. As a native New Yorker born to Haitian immigrants, I am committed to serving a diverse, multilingual population.

Lawyers should be chosen because they can demonstrate a history rich in human traits, the ability to care, the courage to fight, the will to win, a concern for the human condition, a passion for justice and simple uncompromising honesty. These are the traits of the lawyer.
